Rapamycin impairs trabecular bone acquisition from high-dose but not low-dose intermittent parathyroid hormone treatment.

29 Nov 2009 The osteo-anabolic effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment require insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling through the IGF-I receptor. A major downstream target of the IGF-I receptor (via Akt) is the mammalian target of ... Read more...

Influence of genetic background on fluoride metabolism in mice.

30 Oct 2009 A/J and 129P3/J mouse strains have different susceptibilities to dental fluorosis, due to their genetic backgrounds. This study tested whether these differences are due to variations in water intake and/or F metabolism. A/J (susceptible to dental ... Read more...

Trial of family and friend support for weight loss in African American adults.

24 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Family and friend participation may provide culturally salient social support for weight loss in African American adults. METHODS: SHARE (Supporting Healthy Activity and eating Right Everyday) was a 2-year trial of a culturally specific ... Read more...
