Acute changes in serum osteoprotegerin and receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappa B ligand levels in women with established osteoporosis treated with teriparatide
(2008)Objective: The mechanisms regulating the anabolic response of the skeleton to intermittent exogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration are not fully elucidated. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the ... -
An Association Study between Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha (HIF-1 alpha) Polymorphisms and Osteonecrosis
(2013)Bone hypoxia resulting from impaired blood flow is the final pathway for the development of osteonecrosis (ON). The aim of this study was to evaluate if HIF-1 alpha, the major transcription factor triggered by hypoxia, is ... -
