Oestrogens prevent the increase of human serum soluble interleukin‐6 receptor induced by ovariectomy <i>in vivo</i> and decrease its release in human osteoblastic cells <i>in vitro</i>

Abstract

These results indicate that oestrogen loss causes alterations of the IL-6 system, and that sIL-6R is under the direct inhibitory control of oestrogens both in vivo and in vitro.
