Effect of antiandrogen (cyproterone acetate) on the action of testosterone on bone protein

P D Broulik et al. Endocrinol Exp. 1976.

Abstract

The effect of castration, androgen and antiandrogen treatment on bone protein content of femoral diaphyses of male mice was investigated. Castration as well as administration of 2.5 mg of cyproterone acetate for 21 days reduced significantly the protein content of the bone. Testosterone fully compensated the bone protein depletion seen in castrates. Simultaneous administration of both cyproterone acetate and testosterone to castrates blocked the testosterone action. The data show that the mice bone matrix is a highly androgen dependent tissue.
