Findings from estrogen-resistant and aromatase-deficient men have provided important insights into the role of estrogen in the male skeleton during growth. Importantly, as reported elsewhere in this issue, these data also suggested dose-response relationships between estrogen and bone turnover. In addition, studies in these unusual patients have stimulated research on defining the role of estrogen in regulating bone metabolism in normal adult and aging men, providing further insights into estrogen regulation of bone metabolism not only in men, but also in women.
对雌激素抵抗和芳香化酶缺乏男性的研究结果,为了解雌激素在男性生长过程中骨骼的作用提供了重要见解。重要的是,正如本期其他地方所报道的,这些数据还表明了雌激素与骨转换之间的剂量反应关系。此外,对这些特殊患者的研究激发了关于确定雌激素在正常成年男性和老年男性骨骼代谢调节中作用的研究,这不仅为雌激素在男性骨骼代谢中的调节作用,也为其在女性骨骼代谢中的调节作用提供了进一步的见解。
