Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS: The 16 postmenopausal patients treated with estrogen replacement had a statistically significant increase in the lumbar spine bone mineral density at 1 yr (+0.014 +/- 0.049 vs. -0.03 +/- 0.046 g/cm2, p < 0.038), without a significant change in the serum bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase. In treated patients, vitamin D and calcium supplementation did not lead to significant improvement in lumbar spine bone mineral density. CONCLUSIONS:
