Disease relevance of Osteoporosis

 

High impact information on Osteoporosis

  • Thus, both sex steroids are important for developing peak bone mass, but E deficiency is the major determinant of age-related bone loss in both sexes [6].
  • Increase in serum bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid protein with aging in women. Implications for the mechanism of age-related bone loss [1].
  • IL-11 may be a new therapeutic target for senile osteoporosis [7].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Supplementing the diet of men >50 years of age with reduced-fat calcium- and vitamin D3-enriched milk may represent a simple, nutritionally sound and cost-effective strategy to reduce age-related bone loss at several skeletal sites at risk for fracture in the elderly [8].
  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: We explored the possibility that the TNSALP gene may contribute to age-related bone loss in humans by examining the association between TNSALP gene polymorphisms and BMD in 501 Japanese postmenopausal women [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Osteoporosis

 

Anatomical context of Osteoporosis

 

Gene context of Osteoporosis

  • Although the large age-related increase in serum IL-6 concentration could contribute to age-related bone loss, the lack of correlation with markers for bone turnover argues against this [17].
  • Expression of RANKL and OPG correlates with age-related bone loss in male C57BL/6 mice [18].
  • These findings indicate that age-related bone loss in humans is associated with a decrease in the osteoblastic secretion of both PTHrP and VEGF in the knee, a predominantly trabecular bone [19].
  • Because the value of calcium supplementation in age-related bone loss is controversial, we conducted a study to examine the effects of six months of calcium supplementation on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and other indices of bone metabolism [20].
  • CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that variation in TNSALP may be an important determinant of age-related bone loss in humans and that the phosphate metabolism pathway may provide a novel target for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis [9].
