Sex-specific effects of estrogen and androgen on gene expression in human monocyte-derived osteoclasts

Abstract excerpt

Estrogen and androgen are both critical for the maintenance of bone, but the target cells, mechanisms, and responses could be sex-specific. To compare sex-specific actions of estrogen and androgen on osteoclasts, human peripheral blood mononuclear precursor cells from adult Caucasian males (n = 3) and females (n = 3) were differentiated into osteoclasts and then treated for 24 h with 17β-estradiol (10 nM) or...
