  • Title: Skeletal muscle and bone: effect of sex steroids and aging.
    Author: Brown M.
    Journal: Adv Physiol Educ; 2008 Jun; 32(2):120-6. PubMed ID: 18539850.
    Abstract:
    Both estrogen and testosterone are present in males and females. Both hormones contribute to the well being of skeletal muscle and bone in men and women, and there is evidence that the loss of sex hormones is associated with the age-related decline in bone and skeletal muscle mass. Hormonal supplementation of older adults to restore estrogen and testosterone levels to those of young men and women is not without penalty.
