Research News and Information

Definition of 'Bone and Bones'

A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principle cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.

Common names: Bone and Bones; Bones and Bone; Bones and Bone Tissue; Bones; Bone Tissue; Bone Tissues; Tissue, Bone; Tissues, Bone; Bone

Bone formation regulates circulating concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 23.

7 Oct 2009 We examined the role of bone remodeling in the regulation of circulating concentrations of FGF23 using mouse models manifesting differing degrees of coupled and uncoupled bone turnover. Administration of the antiresorptive agent osteoprotegerin ... Read more...


Mediterranean diet and high dietary acid load associated with mixed nuts: effect on bone metabolism in elderly subjects.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To analyze the effect of differing diet on the acid load content on bone metabolism. DESIGN: Multicentric, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group clinical trial. SETTING: Outpatient clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred thirty-eight ... Read more...


High bone matrix turnover predicts blood levels of lead among perimenopausal women.

29 Sep 2009 Skeletal bone is the primary endogenous source of lead in circulating blood, particularly under conditions of accelerated bone turnover and mineral loss, such as pregnancy and postmenopausal osteoporosis. We studied the influence of bone turnover ... Read more...
