Diet-induced obesity differentially regulates behavioral, biomechanical, and molecular risk factors for osteoarthritis in mice
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis in both weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing joints. The mechanisms by which obesity influences the structural or symptomatic features of osteoarthritis are not well understood, but may include systemic inflammation associated with increased adiposity. In this study, we examined biomechanical, neurobehavioral, inf...
متن کاملObesity: a preventable risk factor for large joint osteoarthritis which may act through biomechanical factors.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of joints. The major clinical features are pain and stiffness, leading to a decline in physical function, which may ultimately require joint replacement surgery. As no cure exists, current medical intervention focuses on symptomatic relief. Moreover, as no cure is imminent, preventable risk factors for the onset and progression of the disease...
متن کاملBiomechanical factors in spinal injuries.
A proper understanding of the biomechanics of injury to the spine serves as an illustration of concepts relating to injury generally, and should have special relevance to work in general practice. Sport is stressful, and stress produces injury. The significantly increasing proportion of the population taking part in physical recreation leads obviously to an increase in the number of injuries. I...
متن کاملBiomechanical factors in cardiovascular disease.
This Spotlight issue is focused on the influence of biomechanical forces induced by flowingblood on the development, function, andpathophysiology of the vasculature. The velocity and direction of blood flow vary at a temporal level with each heartbeat and changes spatially according to vascular anatomy. This concept appears to have been already appreciated in the early sixteenth century by the ...
متن کاملBiomechanical Factors Analysis in Aneurysm
All the cells in the body need to receive food (nutrients, metabolic products) and to dispose of waste products. The responsible system for that is cardiovascular system. It is responsible to supply food through the arteries and to return waste products through the veins for all living cells in the human body. This task is reached by a circulating fluid, the blood. The central location which al...
