      Sexual dimorphism in various bone phenotypes, including bone mineral density (BMD), is widely observed; however, the extent to which genes explain these sex differences is unclear. To identify variants with different effects ...

    • Association of Bone Mineral Density, Parameters of Bone Turnover, and Body Composition in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 

      Fountoulis, G. A.; Minas, M.; Georgoulias, P.; Fezoulidis, I. V.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Vlychou, M. (2012)
      Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often develop osteoporosis. Many hormones regulate bone metabolism and body composition, and some of them are affected in COPD patients vs controls. In 46 COPD ...

    • Bisphosphonate use and risk of colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis 

      Bonovas, S.; Nikolopoulos, G.; Bagos, P. (2013)
      AimA growing body of evidence suggests that bisphosphonates may have chemopreventive potential against colorectal cancer. Our aim was to examine this association through a meta-analysis of observational studies. MethodsA ...

    • DNA methylation regulates sclerostin (SOST) expression in osteoarthritic chondrocytes by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) induced changes in Smads binding affinity to the CpG region of SOST promoter 

      Papathanasiou, I.; Kostopoulou, F.; Malizos, K. N.; Tsezou, A. (2015)
      Introduction: Sclerostin (SOST), a soluble antagonist of Wnt signaling, is expressed in chondrocytes and contributes to chondrocytes' hypertrophic differentiation; however its role in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis is ...

    • The effects of calcitonin on acute bone loss after pertrochanteric fractures - A prospective, randomised trial 

      Karachalios, T.; Lyritis, G. P.; Kaloudis, J.; Roidis, N.; Katsiri, M. (2004)
