Abstract:
New studies have shown that metabolism of bone is controlled by the central nervous system.Gonadotropins secreted by the anterior pituitary stimulate the formation and function of osteoclasts which are closely related to the bone turnover and changes of bone mass. This study overviews the relationship between gonadotropins and bone metabolism.
