Sex steroids, particularly estrogens promote bone elongation at puberty and the closure of epiphyseal growth plates. The latter event is under the control of estrogens, while testosterone is not able to determine the epiphyseal closure and the stop of growth. Even bone accrual and the achievement of peak bone mass are mainly regulated by estrogens in both men and women.

Abstract
Sex steroids, particularly estrogens promote bone elongation at puberty and the closure of epiphyseal growth plates. The latter event is under the control of estrogens, while testosterone is not able to determine the epiphyseal closure and the stop of growth. Even bone accrual and the achievement of peak bone mass are mainly regulated by estrogens in both men and women.
