The influence of TSH on bones is still vastly unknown and the information that is known is considered controversial. This important relationship has not been studied in detail. The aim of our research was to assess the correlation between TSH, thyroid hormone and bone mineral density in children measured by DXA scanning. Our study group included 36 children (16 girls and 20 boys) mean age 12.9 ...

OBJECTIVE: To compare ultrasound propagation velocity with densitometry in the diaphyseal compact cortical bone of whole sheep metatarsals. METHODS: The transverse ultrasound velocity and bone mineral density of 5-cm-long diaphyseal bone segments were first measured. The bone segments were then divided into four groups of 15 segments each and demineralized in an aqueous 0.5 N hydrochloric aci...

although some vitamins have been shown to prevent glucocorticoids induced osteoporosis in short time, the magnitude of this effect remains to be clarified. the aim of this study was to evaluate protective effect of vitamin d3 on methylprednisolone acetate (mpa) induced osteoporosis in rats. twenty-four male sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: group a (n = 6), was a base ...

the aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid and mineral composition in bone of 3 pelagic fish: gold stripe sardine (sardinella gibbosa), anchovy kilka (clupeonella engrauliformis) and indian anchovy (stolephorus indicus). fatty acid profiles showed that total saturated fatty acid have no significant differences in 3 species. the content of total mono saturated fatty acids in anchovy k...
