Gonadal steroid withdrawal increases bone turnover and causes bone loss in men, but the underlying mechanisms have not been defined. We previously reported that gonadal steroid deprivation increases the skeletal sensitivity to the bone resorbing properties of PTH infusion in men, but it is not known whether this effect is mediated by the absence of androgens, estrogens, or both.
