Serum Levels of Specific Glucuronidated Androgen Metabolites Predict BMD and Prostate Volume in Elderly Men

Androgens are important regulators of bone and prostate health in elderly men. The role of serum levels of glucuronidated androgen metabolites as predictors of BMD and prostate volume in men is unclear. We show that specific glucuronidated androgen metabolites predict BMD and prostate volume in elderly men.
