Head-to-head comparison of risedronate vs. teriparatide on bone turnover markers in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis: a randomised trial
(2008)Aims: We aimed to compare the effect of risedronate (RIS) and teriparatide (TPTD) (recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34) on bone turnover markers in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods: Forty-four Caucasian ... -
Meta-analysis of genome-wide scans provides evidence for sex- and site-specific regulation of bone mass
(2007)Introduction: BMD is a heritable trait and an important predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk. Several genome-wide scans have been performed in an attempt to detect loci that regulate BMD, but there has been limited ... -
Paraplegia-related alterations of bone density in forearm and hip in Greek patients after spinal cord injury
(2003)Purpose: Paraplegia due to spinal cord injury is related with sublesional bone demineralization with an increased incidence of pathologic fractures in lower extremities. This study was carried out in order to evaluate bone ... -
Smoking affects mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in human periosteum
(2012)Periosteum is important for bone homoeostasis through the release of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their effect on osteoprogenitor cells. Smoking has an adverse effect on fracture healing and bone regeneration. ...
