Abstract: Until 1995, scientists held five widely accepted pillars of belief about estrogen action in the skeleton. Since then, a sea change in conventional wisdom has swept away these five beliefs. This lecture reviews data that have proved them wrong--or at least incomplete--and describes the new paradigms that have emerged to replace them.
