Effects of Ageing on Bone Mineral Composition and Bone Strength
نویسندگان
چکیده
With age in degenerative effects on the skeletal system there is increase in the risk of fracture. Mechanical strength of human bone depends on chemical constituents present in it. The present investigation focuses on estimation of bone inorganic constituents: calcium, phosphor and determination of mechanical strength: tensile, compression. Further a correlation is developed to establish relationship between mechanical strength and chemical composition. This study shows that bone mineral composition and ageing process are interdependent and are highly correlated. The mechanical behaviour of bone is characterised.

Effects of Magnesium on Mechanical Properties of Human Bone
The human bone is multiphase material consisting of collagenous matrix interspread with mineral crystals. Magnesium participates in the normal formation and remodelling of bone. Magnesium deficiency has been associated with a number of clinical disorders including osteoporosis. The present investigation focuses on quantitative estimation of magnesium, an inorganic constituent of bone and determ...
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 ...

The objects of this study were to investigate the effects of massage therapy during early life on postnatal growth, body composition, and skeletal development in juvenile and young adult rats. Massage therapy was performed for 10 minutes daily from D6 to D10 of postnatal life in rat pups (MT, n=24). Body composition, bone area, mineral content, and bone mineral density were measured by dual ene...
متن کاملIn vitro behavior of silk fibroin-coated calcium magnesium silicate scaffolds
Bioceramic scaffolds such as silicate bioceramics have been widely used for bone tissue engineering. However, their high degradation rate, low mechanical strength and surface instability are main challenges compromising their bioactivity and cytocompatibility which further negatively affect the cell growth and attachment. In this study, we have investigated the effects of silk fibroin coating o...
