Possible mechanism for the anti-osteoporotic effects of DBT, SERMs, and their combinations in OVX rats. (1) DBT modulates the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonadal axis in OVX rats; (2) estradiol and FSH (and/or LH) regulate bone remodeling-related genes, mainly suppressing bone resorption and resulting in the bone protective activities.
