FSH directly regulates bone mass

Article Abstract:

Postmenopausal osteoporosis, a global public health problem, is attributed solely to estrogen levels, and although FSH levels rise sharply in parallel, a direct effect of FSH on the skeleton is never explored. After menopause, resorption significantly exceeds formation, and this imbalance results in net bone loss, while estrogen replacement slows postmenopausal bone loss, thus reducing the risk of fracture.

TSH is a negative regulator of skeletal remodeling

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on thyroid stimulating hormone which promotes hormone secretion and thyroid follicle development. The role of this hormone in skeletal remodeling, osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption has been investigated and discussed.
