Abstract
Our findings suggest that estrogen deficiency stimulates OC formation both by increasing the production of TNFα and RANKL and increasing the number of OC precursors. Women with post-menopausal osteoporosis have a higher T cell activity than healthy post-menopausal subjects; T cells thus contribute to the bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency in humans as they do in the mouse.
