## Abstract Estrogen (17β‐estradiol, E2) plays pivotal roles in the function and maintenance of the skeleton, including the bone‐forming osteoblasts (OBs). The functions of E2 are largely mediated through two distinct estrogen receptor isoforms, ERα and ERβ, both of which are expressed in OBs. The
The biological activities of IL-12 are mediated through a specific, high-affinity receptor composed of IL-12 receptor(R)beta1 and IL-12Rbeta2 subunits that exist primarily on T and NK cells. Remarkably, the expression of IL-12Rbeta2 on CD4(+) T cells in mouse and humans appears to be differentially
