Abstract

Introduction: Impaired bone status is often observed in disease states with overproduction of glucocorticoids. However, whether already moderate variations in glucocorticoid levels may impact on bone is controversially discussed. Since protein intake affects both bone and glucocorticoid status, we herein examined in healthy children and adolescents the association between endogenous glucocorticoids and cortical bone after controlling for protein intake.
