Question
which of the following is caused by the production of less estrogen?
sclerosis
osteoporosis
carpal tunnel syndrome
osteoblasts
Estrogen plays a role in maintaining bone density. When there is less estrogen production, such as during menopause in women, bone - resorbing cells become more active than bone - building cells, leading to bone loss and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Sclerosis is related to hardening of tissue and not directly to estrogen levels. Carpal tunnel syndrome is related to nerve compression in the wrist and not estrogen. Osteoblasts are bone - forming cells and not a condition caused by low estrogen.
