title: Bone and cartilage responsiveness to sex steroid hormones.
abstract: Gonadal steroids influence the skeletal growth and metabolism both during the pubertal growth spurt and in adulthood with aging. It is now generally agreed that sex steroid effect on skeletal tissues is due to indirect and direct actions. In this presentation, in vitro effects of sex steroids on cartilage cells are reported by comparison with those observed on bone cells.
