Bone Loss and Menopause

OSTEOPOROSIS AND MENOPAUSE. ( Bone Degeneration)

Osteoporosis is a common endocrinologic disorder characterized as a chronic bone loss condition.  Gonadal sex hormones including estrogen act as crucial regulators of bone mass; therefore, loss of such hormones leads to an imbalance in skeletal turnover leading to osteoporosis. Estrogen can influence both bone formation as well as resorption (the release of calcium from bone tissue into the blood stream)- BY

reducing (osteoblast activity (the cell that forms new bones or heal bones) and

enhances (osteoclast genesis. (dissolves damaged bone cells)

Additionally, estrogen is a potent regulator of systemic metabolism. Recent studies have provided clues that estrogenic effect on bone might also involve alterations in bone cell metabolism.

While direct effects of gonadal hormones ability to alter intracellular metabolism of bone cells has not been studied, there is precedence within the literature that this is occurring and contributing to post-menopausal bone loss.
