Obesity is traditionally viewed to be beneficial to bone health because of well-established
positive effect of mechanical loading conferred by body weight on bone formation, despite …

The purpose of this work was to determine the effects of varying levels of dietary protein on
body composition and muscle protein synthesis during energy deficit (ED). A randomized …

Body mass has a positive effect on bone health. Whether mass derived from an obesity
condition or excessive fat accumulation is beneficial to bone has not been established; neither …

Osteoblasts regulate the recruitment and activity of osteoclasts through expression of RANKL
and osteoprotegerin (OPG). To determine whether expression of RANKL and OPG change …

Among the micronutrients required by humans, zinc has particularly divergent modes of
action. cDNA microarray and quantitative PCR technologies were used to investigate the zinc …

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in both elderly women and men. Epidemiological
evidence has shown an association between tea consumption and the prevention of age-…

Stromal/osteoblastic cell expression of RANKL and M‐CSF regulates osteoclastogenesis.
We show that aging is accompanied by increased RANKL and M‐CSF expression, increased …

Obesity‐derived body mass may be detrimental to bone health through not well‐defined
mechanisms. In this study we determined changes in bone structure and serum cytokines …

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and animals, and several findings
suggest that dietary Se intake may be necessary for bone health. Such findings may relate to …

Low estrogen levels undoubtedly underlie menopausal bone thinning. However, rapid and
profuse bone loss begins 3 y before the last menstrual period, when serum estrogen is …
