bone mineral densitySynonyms BMD ; Bone density ; Bone mass Definition Bone mineral density is defined clinically as the amount of bone mineral (grams) in a given area of bone (cm 2 ). Technically, density refers to the mass of a material in a given volume; therefore, when bone mineral ...

One-year supplementation with Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 counteracts a degradation of gut microbiota in older women with low bone mineral density Article Open access 19 October 2022 Introduction As a severe skeletal disease, osteoporosis (OP) has garnered considerable attention due to its ch...
Osteoporosis refers to the loss of bone density resulting from an altered balance of the bone remodeling process, and affects approximately 10 million US adults 50 years of age and older [18]. The most widely used osteoporosis treatment is the administration of bisphosphonates, which shorten the ...
Several researchers studying the effect of a Mg-depleted diet on rats showed decreased systemic bone density [301], inhibition of growth in the proximal end of the tibia [302] and even development of osteoporosis [303]. Meanwhile, a higher intake of magnesium has been proved to efficiently ...
3), generating new high-density lipoprotein (nHDL) particles116,136,137. Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) catalyzes the conversion of free cholesterol to cholesterol esters to form mature HDL, which enters the liver through bile secretion and fecal excretion, reducing cholesterol levels in ...
Authors' Response: Recommended Testing in Patients with Low Bone Density To the editor: Dr. Barzel refers in his letter to his recently published study in Gerontology (1) that also identified a high prevalence of "significant underlying conditions" in patients referred to their university-based ...
[46]. The biomechanical properties of magnesium are suitable for bone tissue. The density of magnesium-based metals (1.7–1.9 g/cm3) is very similar to that of human cortical bone (1.75 g/cm3) [105]. The elastic modulus of magnesium-based metals is ~ 45 Gpa, which is ...
