Beneficial effects of soy protein consumption on bone quality have been reported. The effects of other dietary protein sources such as ...
Optimal increase in bone mass by continuous local infusion of alendronate during distraction osteogenesis in rabbits
Several methods have been used to increase bone mass in distraction osteogenesis. Since bone resorption as well as regeneration is stim...
Automatic segmentation of cortical and trabecular components of bone specimens acquired by pQCT
Peripheral Quantitative Computerized Tomography (pQCT) allows the acquisition of bone specimens with a spatial resolution adequate to v...
Targeted transgenic expression of an osteoclastic transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase in cells of osteoclastic lineage increases bone resorption and bone loss in male young adult mice
This study evaluated whether transgenic expression of PTP-oc (osteoclastic transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase) in cells of the ...
Genetic regulation of bone traits is influenced by sex and reciprocal cross in F(2) progeny from GK and F344 rats.
A genome-wide linkage analysis to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for bone phenotypes was performed in an F(2) intercross of in...
Targeted overexpression of the two colony-stimulating factor-1 isoforms in osteoblasts differentially affects bone loss in ovariectomized mice
Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF1) is one of two cytokines required for normal osteoclastogenesis. There are two major isoforms of CSF1...
Short-term exposure to dioxin impairs bone tissue in male rats
Chronic and sub-chronic studies in rats have previously shown that dioxin-like compounds impair the bone tissue homeostasis. In the pre...
Exposure to pastures fertilised with sewage sludge disrupts bone tissue homeostasis in sheep
The femurs of male and female sheep (Ovis aries), aged 18 months, bred on pastures fertilized twice annually with sewage sludge (2.25 t...
Differential mRNA expression profiles in proximal tibia of aged rats in response to ovariectomy and low-Ca diet
Both ovariectomized animals and animals fed with Ca-depleted diets are commonly used in vivo models for the investigation of osteoporos...
Effect of combined treatment with alendronate and calcitriol on femoral neck strength in osteopenic rats
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Hip fracture is associated with pronounced morbidity and excess mortality in elderly women with postmenopausal os...
