Are cataracts associated with osteoporosis?
BACKGROUND Calcium is considered an important factor in the development of both osteoporosis and cataract. This study evaluated the association between osteoporosis and cataracts. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis among patients undergoing cataract surgery, and the association between the two. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational case-control study,...
متن کاملMutations of RagA GTPase in mTORC1 Pathway Are Associated with Autosomal Dominant Cataracts
Cataracts are a significant public health problem with no proven methods for prevention. Discovery of novel disease mechanisms to delineate new therapeutic targets is of importance in cataract prevention and therapy. Herein, we report that mutations in the RagA GTPase (RRAGA), a key regulator of the mechanistic rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), are associated with autosomal dominant cataracts. We p...
متن کاملPlasma DPP4 Activities Are Associated With Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women With Normal Glucose Tolerance.
CONTEXT Inflammation, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are risk factors for osteoporosis. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is a newly identified adipokine related to these risk factors. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between plasma DPP4 activities and osteoporosis. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Guilin,...
متن کاملFunctional effects of Cx50 mutations associated with congenital cataracts.
Mutations in connexin50 (Cx50) cause dominant cataracts in both humans and mice. The exact mechanisms by which mutations cause these variable phenotypes are poorly understood. We have examined the functional properties of gap junctions made by three Cx50 mutations, V44E, D47N, and V79L, expressed in mammalian cell lines. V44E trafficked to the plasma membrane properly and formed gap junctional ...
متن کاملChanges Associated with the Appearance of Mature Sugar Cataracts.
Analyses for lens sugar alcohols, fructose, glucose, ATP, dry weight, hydration, and extracellular space were made before and after the appearance of mature diabetic and galactose cataracts. The appearance of mature cataracts in galactose-fed rats is associated with a marked and sudden decrease in the level of lens sugar alcohol, ATP, and dry weight, and an increase in lens hydration and extrac...
