Rats deprived of adrenal and gonadel sex hormones are more sensitive than normal rats to the hypercalcaemic (osteolytic) effect of parathormone and toxic doses of vitamin D3. It is suggested that sex hormone deficiency and the consecutive decrease of calcitonin sensitivity in postmenopausal osteoporosis makes the patients unprotected against factors inducing increased bone resorption, and this leads over the years of osteoporosis.
摘除肾上腺和性腺性激素的大鼠比正常大鼠对甲状旁腺素和中毒剂量维生素D3的高钙血症（溶骨）作用更敏感。有人提出，绝经后骨质疏松症患者性激素缺乏以及随之而来的降钙素敏感性降低，使其无法抵御诱导骨吸收增加的因素，而这会导致多年的骨质疏松症。
