Substantial losses of skeletal tissue occur during late pregnancy and lactation. The goal of the present study was to follow these chan...
Reduced cortical bone mass in mice with inactivation of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13
The aim of the present study was to study the in vivo role of IL-4 and IL-13 on bone metabolism. The skeletal phenotypes of male and fe...
Ovariectomy worsens secondary hyperparathyroidism in mature rats during low-Ca diet
Estrogen deficiency impairs intestinal Ca absorption and induces bone loss, but its effects on the vitamin D-endocrine system are uncle...
Effects of short-term exposure to the DDT metabolite p,p’-DDE on bone tissue in male common frog (Rana temporaria)
Experimental studies as well as studies in free-ranging animals have shown that endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) impair bone tissu...
Segmental bone regeneration using a load-bearing biodegradable carrier of bone morphogenetic protein-2
Segmental defect regeneration has been a clinical challenge. Current tissue-engineering approach using porous biodegradable scaffolds t...
Vitamin D and ibandronate prevent cancellous bone loss associated with binge alcohol treatment in male rats
Decreased bone mass and bone strength can result from excess alcohol consumption in humans and alcohol treatment in the rat. Although t...
Dlk1/FA1 is a novel endocrine regulator of bone and fat mass and its serum level is modulated by growth hormone
Fat and bone metabolism are two linked processes regulated by several hormonal factors. Fetal antigen 1 (FA1) is the soluble form of dl...
Quantitative analyses of cross-sectional shape of the distal radius in three species of macaques
I conducted quantitative analyses of the cross-sectional shape of the distal radial shaft in three species of macaques, which differ in...
Effects of treatment of ovariectomized adult rhesus monkeys with parathyroid hormone 1-84 for 16 months on trabecular and cortical bone structure and biomechanical properties of the proximal femur
Treatment of monkeys and humans with parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-84 stimulates skeletal remodeling, which increases trabecular (Tb) bon...
Effects of daily treatment with parathyroid hormone 1-84 for 16 months on density, architecture and biomechanical properties of cortical bone in adult ovariectomized rhesus monkeys
Treatment with parathyroid hormone 1-84 (PTH) or teriparatide increases osteonal remodeling and decreases bone mineral density (BMD) at...
