Phenotype triggers

  • normal activity of ER-alpha
    in osteoclast
    • Activation of Er alpha results in preserved tickness and number of trabeculae and preserved thickness and volumetric density of cortical bone. [1]
    • ER alpha but not ER beta or AR is of importance for the trabecular bone-sparing effect of estrogens. [1]
  • normal activity of ER-alpha
    in growth_plate
    • ER alpha is expressed in the growth-plate cartilage and in bone. [1]
    • In aging men, estradiol is the dominant sex steroid regulating bone resorption, whereas both estradiol and testosterone are important in maintaining bone formation. [2]
  • normal activity of ER-beta
    in growth_plate
    • ER beta is expressed in the growth-plate cartilage and in bone. [1]
    • In aging men, estradiol is the dominant sex steroid regulating bone resorption, whereas both estradiol and testosterone are important in maintaining bone formation. [2]
