Role of hormones in cartilage and joint metabolism: understanding an unhealthy metabolic phenotype in osteoarthritis
OBJECTIVE:
Joint health is affected by local and systemic hormones. It is well accepted that systemic factors regulate the metabolism of joint tissues, and that substantial cross-talk between tissues actively contributes to homeostasis. In the current review, we try to define a subtype of osteoarth…

Low-dose transdermal estradiol induces breast density and heterogeneity changes comparable to those of raloxifene
The aim of this study was to investigate whether transdermal low-dose estradiol treatment induces changes in mammographic density or heterogeneity compared with raloxifene, whether if these changes relate to changes in bone formation/resorption markers, and whether these findings indicate elevation …
