Forearm and tibial bone measures of distance- and sprint-trained master cyclists.

27 Feb 2009 PURPOSE: Cycling is very popular; however, it is often believed to be associated with below average bone mass. This study compared bone measures of sprint- and distance-trained cyclists competing at World Master Track Championships, along with ... Read more...

Increased hydraulic conductance of human articular cartilage and subchondral bone plate with progression of osteoarthritis.

29 Nov 2008 OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage and remodeling of the subchondral bone plate, comprising calcified cartilage and underlying subchondral bone. Calcified cartilage remodeling due to ... Read more...

Effect of epiphysectomy on the circadian dynamics of antiradical activity of chalone-antichalone system of albino rat liver.

30 Aug 2008 Antiradical activity of the chalone-antichalone system in the liver of albino rats is characterized by circadian rhythms. The production of tissue regulators of proliferation is synchronized with the 24-h light/darkness cycle. Active phase of the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Epiphyses'

Definition: The head of a long bone that is separated from the shaft by the epiphyseal plate until bone growth stops. At that time, the plate disappears and the head and shaft are united.
