Elevated levels of serum total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP) have been linked with decreased bone mineral density (BMD), higher prevalence of osteoporosis, and higher mortality rate in patients with ...

Background Serum preptin levels among subjects with different bone mineral densities (BMD) were measured and investigated to determine the correlation between BMD and bone-metabolic markers.

Methods 80 men with osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5) and 40 age-matched controls were recruited to evaluate the relationships between sex hormone levels, bone markers levels, bone mineral density and ...

Previous studies have investigated the effects of selenium on osteoporosis; however, the results are inconclusive. Therefore, the present study aimed to systematically examine the existing literature ...

In addition to quality control (QC) probes, this kit screened ten miRNAs connected to osteoporosis. However, in most of our samples, these miRNAs were below the detection limit of qRT–PCR (C T > 30), ...

Recent studies have shown that RANKL induces HMGB1 release and it is required for RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Objectives To investigate the relationship of serum HMGB1 ...
