Effect of Androgens on Bone, Calcium, and Phosphorus Metabolism

  • Chapter
Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids

Abstract

Androgens have been shown to affect skeletal growth, skeletal maturation, mineralization and collagen formation in animals.

This study was supported in part by U.S. Public Health Research Grant DE-02486 and in part by the National Dairy Council.
