The results highlight the PUFA metabolism differences between uninduced and induced MSC to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, besides the relevant role of the lipoxygenase gene expression in adipogenesis induction. Autor: Casado-Díaz A, Ferreiro-Vera C, Priego-Capote … Leer más
Pharmacological inhibition of LPA1 receptor in the K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis model led to reduction of severity of arthritis involving multiple mechanisms, increased apoptosis, reduced inflammatory mediators and proteins involved in bone remodelling, that show LPA1 as … Leer más
A particular subset of postmenopausal patients with high remodeling and/or low subchondral bone density may benefit from the treatment with bone-acting agents hindering OA progression. This OA population could be identified with the simultaneous use … Leer más
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass increased circulating osteopontin levels, while they remained unaltered after sleeve gastrectomy. The increase in osteopontin levels after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass could be related to the increased bone resorption in relation to its … Leer más
The results suggest that matrix Gla protein genetic variations could predict a higher risk of bone loss and progression of vascular calcification in men. Two matrix Gla protein (MGP) polymorphisms were associated with progression of … Leer más
The results suggest that deletions in the 6p25.1 locus may predispose to higher risk of fracture in a subset of populations of European origin; larger and geographically restricted studies will be needed to confirm this … Leer más
Self-reported hip fracture is a common condition among community-living elderly population in Spain, and has a significant impact upon long-term all-cause mortality. There is a paucity of data concerning the specific associations between hip fracture … Leer más
In our study, postmenopausal women who live in rural populations have more poverty, lower values of vitamin D, lower BMD in the lumbar spine and a higher prevalence of vertebral fractures and of osteoporosis. The … Leer más
Patients with chronic hepatitis C have low bone mass associated with increased bone resorption, and some relationship can be expected between serum aminotransferase levels and the degree of bone mass loss. Bone mass may be … Leer más
No differences in BMD were found between patients and controls. As for 25OHD, a lack of its expected summer rise was observed. It is doubtful whether this has any homeostatic consequence. We consider that the … Leer más
