BACKGROUND
Weight reduction reduces bone mineral density (BMD) and increases the risk of osteoporosis.
OBJECTIVE
We investigated whether bone is mobilized in postmenopausal women during energy restriction and whether hormones regulate bone turnover and mass.
METHODS
Twenty-seven obese postmenopausal
Serum osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase levels, as indexes of bone formation, and urinary calcium and hydroxyproline excretions relative to creatinine, as indexes of bone resorption, were measured in 10 obese women before and after two months of hypocaloric diet. In basal condition, serum
The effect of 2 months of treatment with the oral growth hormone (GH) secretagogue MK-677 on markers of bone metabolism was determined in healthy obese male subjects. This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled study. Twenty-four healthy obese males, 19-49 years of age, with
We examined whether increased dairy intake was associated with changes in the levels of bone-related biochemical markers in overweight/obese adolescent girls undergoing a 12-week diet and exercise intervention.Thirty-five girls were assigned to a low dairy In light of findings that osteoporosis and obesity may share some common genetic determination and previous reports that RANK (receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB) is expressed in skeletal muscles which are important for energy metabolism, we hypothesize that RANK, a gene essential for
Although obesity traditionally has been considered a condition of low risk for osteoporosis, this classic view has recently been questioned. The aim of this study was to assess bone microarchitecture and turnover in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity. Seven-week-old male C57BL/6J mice (n
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of vertebral fracture (VF) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). A total of 798 patients with T2DM were enrolled. VF was determined semi-quantitatively using lateral
We hypothesized that bone resorption acts to increase bone strength through stimulation of periosteal expansion. Hence, we examined whether bone resorption, as reflected by serum β-C-telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX), is positively associated with periosteal circumference (PC), in contrast to
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate, during the first postoperative year in obese pre-menopausal women, the effects of laparoscopic gastric banding on calcium and vitamin D metabolism, the potential modifications of bone mineral content and bone mineral density, and the risk of development of secondary
We studied the relation of leptin to bone, bone loss, and bone turnover in community-dwelling men and women. Leptin predicted higher BMD and lower bone turnover only in women. Leptin was not associated with 4-year bone loss in either sex.
BACKGROUND
Leptin, the protein product of the obesity (OB)
BACKGROUND
Metabolic bone disease and bariatric surgery have long been interconnected. The objective of this study is to better understand the mechanisms of bone mass loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. We evaluated mineral homeostasis and bone mass in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats
Quantitative histomorphometric analyses of iliac crest biopsies were performed after tetracycline double labeling in 24 patients with morbid obesity and in 30 age- and sex-matched controls. The amount and structure of bone were determined from measurements of total biopsy length, fractional length
OBJECTIVE
With the childhood obesity epidemic, efficient methods of exercise are sought to improve health. We tested whether whole body vibration (WBV) exercise can positively affect bone metabolism and improve insulin/glucose dynamics in sedentary overweight Latino boys.
METHODS
Twenty Latino boys
BACKGROUND
Scopinaro biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is associated with malabsorption of calcium and vitamin D, which manifests as a secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) and may lead to osteopenia.
METHODS
96 morbidly obese patients were studied (age 19-60 years, 23 men and 73 women, with mean
