Which of the following hormones can play a significant role in osteoporosis?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
Osteoporosis is mainly caused due to excess of parathyroid hormone, advanced age and lack of estrogen in older females. Estrogen promotes the activity of osteoblast and inhibits osteoclast. Parathormone promotes mobilisation of calcium from bone into blood. Excessive activity of parathormone causes demoralisation leading to osteoporosis.
