Bone turnover markers predict changes in bone mineral density after parathyroidectomy in patients with renal hyperparathyroidism.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Pubertal gynaecomastia is a very common condition. Although the underlying aetiology is poorly understood, it is generally accepted that excess of oestrogens and deficit of androgens are involved in the pathogenesis. Furthermore, adiposity as well as the GH/IGF-I axis may play a role. In this study, we elucid...
