AIM To evaluate total body bone mineral density and regional bone mineral density in patients with prostate cancer with and without metastases, and to correlate them with bone scintigraphy findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS 135 patients with prostatic carcinoma and 50 healthy subjects were investigated with bone scintigraphy and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The bone scintigraphic findings we...

statement of problem: glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in osteoblast numbers and a marked impairment of new bone formation. purpose: the ain of present study was to evaluate the effect of methylprednisolone acetate on bone metabolism and bone mineral density in rats. materials and methods: eighteen male sprague dawley rats (8 weeks old, weighting 180 gm) were r...

Lumbar spine bone mineral density in a cross sectional study of healthy subjects increased by 0.012 and 0.016 g/cm2/year in boys and girls respectively between 5 and 11 years of age. These rates increased five-fold in girls and threefold in boys between the ages of 11 and 13 years as a result of the bone mineral content increasing more rapidly than the coronal area at this age. By the age of 11...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between total and segmental body fat, bone mineral density and bone mineral content in undergraduate students stratified according to nutritional status. METHODS The study included 45 male undergraduate students aged between 20 and 30 years. Total and segmental body composition, bone mineral density and bone mineral content assessments were performed ...

Background: Functional hypothalamic menstrual disorder (FHMD) has a destructive effect on the athlete’s bone mineral density and cardiovascular system. Utilizing hormone replacement therapy to treat FHMD in athletes is controversial. This study was conducted to examine the effect of hormone therapy on bone density and the cardiovascular system of professional female athletes with FHMD. ...

To identify the pattern of bone mineral density in postmenopausal women through retrospective study in 40 postmenopausal women using Dexa instrument in bones (L2 L4). Results with 15% of survey formula accuracy were found: mean of menopausal age was 53.25 years, normal bone mineral density 30%, osteopenia 52.5%, and osteoporosis 17.5%. A very strong relationship (r=0.547) and a significant rela...

Mutations in the HFE gene may be associated with increased tissue iron stores reflected in an elevated serum ferritin. With homozygous mutation C282Y, the increase in serum ferritin may be associated with tissue damage in the liver, pancreas, and pituitary and with a reduced bone mineral density. With heterozygous mutation C282Y, the degree of iron retention is less but information relating to ...

CONTEXT The hormonal factors involved in the regulation of peak bone mass (PBM) in men have not been fully investigated. Apart from gonadal steroids and somatotropic hormones, thyroid hormones are known to affect bone maturation and homeostasis and are additional candidate determinants of adult bone mass. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate between-subject physiological variation in free and to...
