Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta, and androgen receptor genes with knee osteoarthritis
(2005)Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). To elucidate the possible role of genetic variation in the estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ER-alpha, ER-beta) and androgen ... -
Body Composition and Ballet Injuries A Preliminary Study
(2008)To date, the effects of body composition on injury occurrence and healing times in dancers have received limited scientific attention. The aim of the current study was to determine possible associations between somatotype, ... -
BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the risk of osteoporosis: A meta-analysis
(2006)A meta-analysis regarding BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and their associations with osteoporosis in females is reported. The meta-analysis involved 14, seven, seven and three ... -
Computer-assisted evaluation of Mandibular Cortical Width (MCW) index as an indicator of osteoporosis
(2014)Background: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of mandibular cortical width (MCW) as an indicator of the presence of osteoporosis. Materials and methods: The study included 343 women between 45-75 years of age. After informed ... -
Effects of clomiphene and raloxifene on gonadotrophin secretion in postmenopausal women: evidence of nongenomic action
(2004)OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of raloxifene (R) and clomiphene (Cl) on FSH and LH secretion in postmenopausal women. DESIGN Postmenopausal volunteer women participated in two experimental (Exp) procedures. In Group 1, ... -
Gene receptor polymorphism as a risk factor for BMD deterioration in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa
(2013)Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder that is associated with decreased bone mineral density and greater lifetime risk for fractures. This case-controlled study, analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes ... -
The implication of adiponectin and resistin in gastrointestinal diseases
(2011)Adiponectin and resistin, members of the adipokine family, are multi-task hormones involved in several disorders, including those of the alimentary tract. In the present review, eligible studies focusing on the role of ... -
The long-term clinical relevance of calcar atrophy caused by stress shielding in total hip arthroplasty - A 10-year, prospective, randomized study
(2004)Eighty osteoarthritic female patients were randomly allocated to 4 equal groups; the Zwey-Muller, the Corail, the Optifix, or Autophor 900S cementless total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were implanted; and bone density changes, ... -
Serum osteoprotegerin and RANKL are not specifically altered in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with teriparatide or risedronate: A randomized, controlled trial
(2008)Risedronate and teriparatide have opposite actions on the osteoblast-osteoclast dipole and are expected to influence the RANK/RANKL/ osteoprotegerin (OPG) system. We aimed to evaluate changes in serum OPG and RANKL after ... -
Synopsis and meta-analysis of genetic association studies in osteoporosis for the focal adhesion family genes: the CUMAGAS-OSTEOporosis information system
(2011)Background: Focal adhesion (FA) family genes have been studied as candidate genes for osteoporosis, but the results of genetic association studies (GASs) are controversial. To clarify these data, a systematic assessment ... -
Vitamin D in autoimmune liver disease
(2013)The development of autoimmune disease is based on the interaction of genetic susceptibility and environmental causes. Environmental factors include infectious and noninfectious agents, with some of these factors being ...
