The effects of high potassium consumption on bone mineral density in a prospective cohort study of elderly postmenopausal women
SUMMARY: Few studies have investigated the long-term effects of potassium intake on BMD. In a cohort of 266 elderly women, we found tha...

Anterior-posterior bending strength at the tibial shaft increases with physical activity in boys: evidence for non-uniform geometric adaptation
We investigated bone structural adaptations to a 16-month school-based physical activity intervention in 202 young boys using a novel a...
The impact of degenerative spinal changes on the correlation of peripheral and axial bone density
Results of bone density measurements by quantitative computed tomography of the peripheral skeleton (pQCT) were compared with those of ...
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...
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...
