Perinatal testosterone surge is required for normal adult bone size but not for normal bone remodeling.

چکیده
Although testosterone (T) has striking effects on mature skeletal size and structure, it is not clear whether this depends exclusively on adult circulating levels of T or whether additional early-life factors also play a role. We have compared the androgen-deficient hypogonadal (hpg) mutant mouse with intact, orchidectomized, and T-treated non-hpg mice to determine relative contributions of adult and perinatal T to bone growth and development. At 3 wk of age, although trabecular and cortical bone structure was normal, bone turnover was significantly altered in hpg male mice; osteoid volume (OV/BV) and osteoblast surface (ObS/BS) were significantly lower and osteoclast surface (OcS/BS) significantly higher in hpg mice compared with age-matched non-hpg mice, pointing to a role for the perinatal T surge in determining bone turnover levels before sexual maturity. At 9 wk of age, the hpg bone phenotype mimicked closely that of age-matched non-hpg mice that had been orchidectomized at 3 wk of age, including low trabecular bone mass and high bone turnover. These bone phenotypes of hpg and orchidectomized non-hpg mice were all prevented by replacement doses of T or dihydrotestosterone (DHT), suggesting that these are determined by adult sex steroid hormones. In contrast, a short bone phenotype that could not be prevented by T or DHT treatment was observed in 9-wk-old hpg mice yet not in intact or castrated non-hpg mice. These data suggest a role for the perinatal T surge in determining adult bone length and confirms that adult circulating T determines adult bone density.

Background and purpose: Adipose - drived stem cells are multipotent cells that capable to diffrentiate in to osteogenic cells. On the other hand, the scaffold of chitosan and gelatin are biodegradable and compatible used for tissue repair.

Sex differences in brain function underlie robust differences between males and females in both normal and disease states. Although alternative mechanisms exist, sexual differentiation of the male mammalian brain is initiated predominantly by testosterone secreted by the testes during the perinatal period. Despite considerable advances in understanding how testosterone and its metabolite estrad...

Extended Abstract Precocious puberty is the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before 8 years old in girls and 9 years old in boys. Precocious puberty is divided into 3 groups of central, peripheral and normal variants. Central precocious puberty is accompanied by activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis which causes increase in secretion of GnRH, and in turn increase i...
