Summary of possible pathways for androgens to regulate bone mass in males. Experimental animal studies using mouse models with inactivation of the androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor α (ERα), ERβ or the recently suggested ER GPR30 have demonstrated that the AR and ERα, but not ERβ or GPR30, are involved in the regulation of bone mass in males.
