Bone steady-state is established at reduced bone strength after spinal cord injury: a longitudinal study using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with a marked and rapid sublesional bone loss. So far, reports about the time course of adaptive...
Energy metabolism in human calf muscle performing isometric plantar flexion superimposed by 20-Hz vibration
Vibration training is commonly expected to induce an active muscle contraction via a complex reflex mechanism. In calf muscles of 20 un...
Skeletal effects of estrogen and mechanical loading are structurally distinct
Estrogen has been suggested to influence skeletal homeostasis by both increasing the sensitivity of the feedback control system for ske...
Impact on bone of an estrogen receptor-alpha gene loss of function mutation
CONTEXT: The kindred described is the only known instance of a germ line loss of function mutation of estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha. OBJ...
The effect of menarcheal age on anthropometric, limb length, and bone measures in Hutterite and non-Hutterite women
The age women reach menarche may affect bone length and mass. Some studies show an earlier menarcheal age (MA) results in a shorter sta...
Muscle power is related to tibial bone strength in older women
We enrolled 65 to 75 year-old community-dwelling women and measured muscle power, strength, physical activity using accelerometry and t...
