11. Following the mevalonate pathway to bone heal alley
Sammanfattning : The mevalonate pathway is an important biosynthetic pathway, found in all cells of virtually all known pro- as well as eukaryotic organisms. This thesis is an investigation into the use of two drugs, originally developed for different applications, but both affecting the mevalonate pathway, in to models of fracture repair. LÄS MER
12. Bone mass in young adults - determinants and fracture prediction
Sammanfattning : Bone mass in adolescents and young adults was studied with regard to its age-related change and its determinants. Methodological aspects of bone mass measurements and their ability to predict future fractures were investigated. LÄS MER
13. Experimental studies on fracture healing. Biological and biomechanical aspects
Sammanfattning : Considerable advances have been made in the knowledge regarding fracture healing and treatment duringrecent decades. Nevertheless, in 5-10 per cent of fractures, there are healing complications leading to complextreatment conditions, discomfort for patients and considerable costs. LÄS MER
14. COMT Genotype, sex steroids, and bone phenotype in mice and men
Sammanfattning : COMT GENOTYPE, SEX STEROIDS AND BONE PHENOTYPE IN MAN AND MICE Anna-Lena Eriksson Institute of Medicine, University of Gothenburg, Göteborg, Sweden, 2008 ABSTRACT Sex steroids are of profound importance for several physiological processes including reproduction, growth, and maintenance of skeletal integrity. Serum levels of sex steroids are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and have been shown to be predictive of fracture risk in older people. LÄS MER
15. Effect of Physical Activity on Bone, Muscle and Fracture Risk during Growth
Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and related fractures are a global health problem. Physical activity, especially during growth, has been suggested as a strategy to improve musculoskeletal health in the population. LÄS MER
