A differential association of ALOX15 polymorphisms with bone mineral density in pre- and post-menopausal women.
OBJECTIVE The 12/15-lipoxygenase gene ALOX15 is reported to be a negative regulator of BMD in knockout mice. Nonetheless results are controversial as over-expression of ALOX15 protects against inflammation-related bone loss. The aim of the present study is to systematically study the relation of ALOX15 polymorphisms in BMD variation in southern Chinese women. METHODS Ten tag single nucleotide...
متن کاملAssessment of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in pre- and post-menopausal women
Background: Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that contributes substantially to decrease physical activity and decline in the quality of life. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed easily with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) equipment. The aim of this study was to investigate the magnitude of bone loss on proximal femur and lumbar spine LS in pre- and post-menopausal women f...
متن کاملAssociation of Renal Function and Menopausal Status with Bone Mineral Density in Middle-aged Women
The association between mild renal dysfunction and bone mineral density (BMD) has not been fully explored. It is also unclear how menopausal status and the use of Chinese herb affect this association. This is a cross-sectional study that included a total of 1,419 women aged 40 to 55 years old who were recruited from the MJ Health Management Institution in Taiwan between 2009 and 2010. Spinal BM...
متن کاملThe combined contraceptive vaginal ring and bone mineral density in healthy pre-menopausal women.
BACKGROUND Hormonal contraceptives have been associated with various effects on the bone mineral density (BMD) of pre-menopausal women. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a vaginal contraceptive ring on BMD in pre-menopausal women and compare them with those of non-hormonal contraceptive use. METHODS This open-label, multicentre study used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to m...
متن کاملEffect of intravenous zolendronic acid on bone mineral density in post-menopausal women with low bone mineral density.
Background : Menopause is the period during which systemic oestrogen level is reduced. During postmenopausal period, bone remodelling cycle is distorted and is occasionally associated with low bone mass which is the major determinant of bone strength. Zoledronic acid, a third generation bisphosphonates available as an alternative formulation approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women. A...
