TL;DR

These findings support the hypothesis that estrogens can directly affect skeletal metabolism through osteoblasts, osteoclasts, or both and determine in a systematic fashion whether estrogen induced resistance to the skeletal remodeling effects of PTH.

Abstract

The estrogenized postmenopausal osteoporotic skeleton is less sensitive to the bone resorbing effects of acutely administered PTH. There are no differential effects on bone formation.
