Reductions in bone turnover, mineral, and structure associated with mechanical properties of lumbar vertebra and femur in glucocorticoid-treated growing minipigs
The present study was designed to determine the effects of glucocorticoid (GC) on bone turnover, minerals, structure, and bone mechanic...
Good maintenance of exercise-induced bone gain with decreased training of female tennis and squash players: a prospective 5-year follow-up study of young and old starters and controls
This prospective 5-year follow-up study of 64 adult female racquet sports players and 27 controls assessed the changes in the playing-t...
Age-related changes in bone mineral density, cross-sectional area and strength at different skeletal sites in male rats
Age-related changes in bone mineral density (BMD), cross-sectional area and strength strain index (SSI) of the long bones in the limbs ...
Bone tissue composition, dimensions and strength in female rats given an increased dietary level of vitamin A or exposed to 3,3′,4, 4′,5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) alone or in combination with vitamin C
In previous studies we have described structural and functional changes in rat bone tissue caused by 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (P...
Torsional testing and peripheral quantitative computed tomography in rat humerus
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is a noninvasive method mainly used to evaluate the densitometric and geometric prop...
Femoral neck response to exercise and subsequent deconditioning in young and adult rats
Aged bones have been considered to have reduced capacity to respond to changes in incident loading. By subjecting young and adult rats ...
Congenic mice reveal sex-specific genetic regulation of femoral structure and strength
Genetic linkage studies in C3H/HeJ (C3H) and C57BL/6J (B6) mice identified several chromosomal locations or quantitative trait loci (QT...
Deletion of estrogen receptors reveals a regulatory role for estrogen receptors-beta in bone remodeling in females but not in males
To determine the contributions of estrogen receptor (ER)alpha and ERbeta in bone growth and remodeling in male and female mice, we gene...
Estrogen deposits extra mineral into bones of female rats in puberty, but simultaneously seems to suppress the responsiveness of female skeleton to mechanical loading
To first test the possible effect of gender on the responsiveness of growing rat skeleton to mechanical loading, 5-week-old littermates...
