1. 16. Osteoprotegerin in Bone Metabolism

   Författare :Helena Brändström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Bone; osteoprotegerin; osteoblasts; polymorphism; cytokines; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : Bone turnover, remodeling, is a constant process replacing old bone with new. This complex cellular event involves resorption by osteoclasts and formation of new bone by osteoblasts. The balance between osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity is under regulation by several endocrine and paracrine factors. LÄS MER

3. 17. Bone Metabolism in Men

   Författare :Peter Gillberg; Olof Johnell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Male osteoporosis; Bone mineral density; Growth hormone; Insulin-like growth factors; Sex hormones; Growth hormone replacement; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the importance of the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and sex steroids for male bone metabolism has been investigated, and the effects of continuous low dose GH replacement in GH deficient (GHD) adults. In a population-based sample of men, positive correlations were found between bone mineral density (BMD) and IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 and the testosterone/sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) ratio.

4. 18. Influence of lifestyle behaviours on bone mineral density among young healthy women: A two-year study. A Tentative Salutary Model

   Författare :Carina Elgán; Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; grounded theory; follow-up; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; multiple triangulation; stress; time spent outdoors; sleep; salutogenic; bone resorption; bone mineral density; Young healthy women; lifestyle;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this prospective observational study with a salutogenic approach was to investigate bone mineral density (BMD) and BMD changes in the heel bone, in a group of healthy women, in relation to physiological factors and lifestyle behaviours over a two-year period as well as investigating the women’s view of their lifestyle behaviours. Data were collected in 1999 (T1) and 2001 (T2). LÄS MER

5. 19. Bone in coeliac disease

   Författare :Trausti Valdimarsson; Pekka Collin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Bone mineral density; coeliac disease; gluten-free diet; parathyroid hormone; insulin-like growth factor; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Patients with untreated and treated coeliac disease were examined regarding bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical factors of importance for bone metabolism. The occurrence of disturbances and their correction during treatment with a gluten-free diet were studied. LÄS MER

7. 20. Muscles, Estrogen, and Bone

   Författare :Eva Ljunggren Ribom; Hans Mallmin; Karin Piehl-Aulin; Kim Thorsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Muscle strength; Bone mineral density; Ultrasound; Body composition; Hormone replacement therapy; Estrogen receptor alpha; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Sweden has one of the highest incidences of osteoporotic fractures in the world. A more sedentary lifestyle is one of several proposed reasons for the increase in osteoporosis seen in the developed countries. LÄS MER
