Age-related changes of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis: pathophysiological correlates.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is the most frequent cause of secondary osteoporosis. Nevertheless, limited data are available on bone status in patients with endogenous cortisol excess. This study is aimed at investigating the role of sex steroids and severity of hypercortisolism on bone mineral density ...
