Bone density tests (also called bone mineral density tests or BMD tests) check how strong your bones are by measuring a small part of one or a few of them. The results can help your doctor know how you can treat or prevent bone loss andfractures. Who Should Have a Bone Density Test?
A bone mineral density test, sometimes just called abone density test, detects whether you have osteoporosis, a word that comes from Greek and literally means “porous bone.” When you have this condition, your bones get weak and thin. They become more likely to break. It’s a silent cond...
A bone mineral density test or a bone density test is a way to detect bone health. It is also called a bone mass measurement test. Lesser the bone density, greater are your chances of having osteoporosis and fractures. It measures the density of calcium and other minerals present within you...
The relative sensitivity of tibia bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD), percentage ash (ash), and shear force as indicators for dietary Ca and P was compared in 3-wk-old broiler chicks. One hundred eight 7-d-old chicks were grouped by weight into 6 blocks of 3 cages each with...
bone tissue, osteoblasts and osteoclasts (N = 28 samples evaluated for each sample type). Gender-dependency of circulating miRNA expression is indicated as well as the correlation between miRNA regulation in bone tissue and BMD (=bone mineral density) values. OB = osteoblast, OC =...
Human population genomic studies, including whole‐genome sequencing, were undertaken to identify determinants of bone mineral density (BMD), a major predictor of osteoporotic fractures. Non‐coding variants with large effects on BMD and fractures were i

previous lines of work from our laboratory and others show that increased levels of β-catenin lead to higher bone density and enhanced osteoblastic differentiation; however,this applies to a differentiated, osteoblastic cell population14,17,20. Increased levels of β-catenin during the early phases ...
