There is a small correlation between quantitative US measurements at the calcaneus and phalangeal BMD that increases to a moderate level with quantitative US measurements at the phalanges in elderly Spanish men.
Our results demonstrate that: 1) 17β-estradiol (E2) at physiological plasma levels in female rats is neuroprotective in male rats when given at the acute stage of the ischemic challenge; and 2) bazedoxifene acetate at clinically … Leer más
These results reinforce the role of antioxidant pathways and of B-cells in bone metabolism. Furthermore, it shows that a genome-wide gene expression approach in animal models is a useful method for detecting genes associated to … Leer más
Osteocalcin, produced by osteoblasts or released from mineralised bone, interferes with insulin concentrations and sensitivity, and its metabolism is disturbed in kidney disease. These bone-derived humoral factors might place the bone at the centre of … Leer más

This review summarizes the complex pathophysiology of CKD-MBD and outlines which laboratory abnormalities represent biomarkers of disease severity, which laboratory abnormalities are predictors of cardiovascular disease, and which laboratory abnormalities should be considered (direct) uremic … Leer más
According to our results, VDR locus association follows an additive model in which increased genetic risk score for the VDR is directly correlated with AIDS progression rates. Our data supports a role of vitamin-D pathway … Leer más
To further foster this research, the pathway to eventually obtain authorisation from the National Competent Authorities and Research Ethics Committees under the European regulation is reviewed, and the experience of the REBORNE European project offers … Leer más
