The skeleton is a metabolically active organ that undergoes remodeling throughout life. This
involves a complex process by which old bone is continuously replaced by new tissue. Bone
remodeling refers to the sequential, coupled actions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. In
conditions of sex hormone deficiency during advancing age, after the menopause or
andropause, the rate of remodeling increases and bone formation is reduced relative to
resorption. These alterations can cause microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissues,
which increases bone loss as a predisposition to the occurrence of osteoporosis (Rehman et
al., 2005). However, in contrast to postmenopausal osteoporosis in women, age-related bone
loss in men is less well defined.
