Abstract

Bone is a dynamic tissue undergoing life-long remodeling, a process of bone resorption by osteoclast and bone formation by osteoblast, regulated by diverse hormones including estrogen. Recently, several pituitary hormones have been identified as a modulator of this process. Here, we reviewed the role of thyroid stimulating hormone signaling per se in bone metabolism.
