RESUMEN
La osteoporosis (OP) es una enfermedad compleja y costosa. Como muchas enfermedades multifactoriales su incidencia está determinada por causas ambientales, por susceptibilidad genética y probablemente por sus interacciones. El objetivo de este trabajo es mejorar nuestra comprensión sobre el papel que los estrógenos desempeñan en el crecimiento, desarrollo y mantenimiento de la estructura ósea, pormenorizando en sus mecanismos de acción celular a través del sistema paracrino osteoprotegerina (OPG)/receptor activador del factor nuclear kappa-b (RANK)/ligando RANK (RANKL), y examinar a la luz de la evidencia actual sus efectos en la prevención y tratamiento de las fracturas osteoporóticas, incluyendo las recomendaciones acerca de su utilización y manejo
ABSTRACT
Osteoporosis is a complex disease with high cost. Like many multifactorial diseases, its incidence is determined by environmental causes and genetic susceptibility, and probably by the interaction between these factors. The aim of this study was to improve our understanding of the role played by estrogens in the growth, development and maintenance of bony structure and to describe in detail the cellular mechanisms of action through the osteoprotegerin (OPG) /receptor activator of nuclear factor Kappa-b (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL) paracrine system. Its effects on the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fractures, including recommendations on its use and management, are examined in light of current evidence
