Abstract
When the energy status of exercising women was adequate (replete), there were no apparent perturbations of bone formation or resorption, regardless of estrogen status. Estrogen deficiency in exercising women, in the presence of an energy deficiency, was associated with bone loss and involved suppressed bone formation and increased bone resorption. These findings underscore the importance of avoiding energy deficiency, which is associated with hypoestrogenism, to avoid bone health problems.
