Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The association between aromatase gene polymorphisms, bone parameters, and sex steroid levels was studied in 1068 men (18.9 +/- 0.6 years of age). Several aromatase gene polymorphisms were found to be associated with serum testosterone levels and cortical bone size but not with trabecular volumetric BMD. INTRODUCTION: Both testosterone and estrogens are important for the male skeleton. Aromatase, the...
