Bone density vs bone quality: what's a clinician to do?
Studies of the epidemiology of osteoporosis and of drug treatments for it have challenged the concept that denser bone means stronger bone. Bone strength or resistance to fracture is not easily measured by routine densitometry, being a function of both density and quality.
متن کاملBone strength and architecture : pharmacological targeting of CaMKK2 as a method for enhancing bone quality
The tissue-restricted multifunctional Ca/calmodulin (CaM)-dependentprotein kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) has roles in the anabolic and catabolicpathways of bone remodeling. Specifically, genetic ablation of CaMKK2positively influences osteoblasts and negatively affects osteoclasts, resulting in anet increase of bone mass, and its pharmacological inhibition through STO-609protects...
متن کاملWNT16 Influences Bone Mineral Density, Cortical Bone Thickness, Bone Strength, and Osteoporotic Fracture Risk
We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with cortical bone thickness (CBT) and bone mineral density (BMD) by performing two separate genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses for CBT in 3 cohorts comprising 5,878 European subjects and for BMD in 5 cohorts comprising 5,672 individuals. We then assessed selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for osteoporotic fracture in...
متن کاملBone quality and bone strength: benefits of the bone-forming approach.
The ability of bone to resist fracture depends on the intrinsic properties of the materials that comprise the bone matrix mineralization, the amount of bone (i.e. mass), and the spatial distribution of the bone mass (i.e. microarchitecture). Antiresorptive agents may prevent the decay of cancellous bone and cortical thinning, with no improvement of bone microstructure, leading to a partial corr...
متن کاملVitamin E improved bone strength and bone minerals in male rats given alcohol
Objective(s): Alcohol consumption induces oxidative stress on bone, which in turn increases the risk of osteoporosis. This study determined the effects of vitamin E on bone strength and bone mineral content in alcohol-induced osteoporotic rats. Materials and Methods: Three months old Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (I) control group; (II) alcohol (3 g/kg) + normal ...
