médecine/sciences, 2008 Given the increasing risk of fractures with aging in western countries, there is a need for the development of safe and efficient anti-osteoporotic drugs for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Recent studies have provided evidence for an essential role of RANKL (Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B Ligand) and its decoy receptor ...

Alendronate (ALN) combined with Osteoprotegerin (OPG) significantly improves mechanical properties of long bone than the single use of ALN or OPG in the ovariectomized rats [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2011 Background Alendronate (ALN) is the most common form of bisphosphonates used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) has also been shown to reduce osteoporotic changes in both humans and experimental animals after systemic administration.

Beyond the Microbial Hypothesis: Shared Genetic, Osteoimmune and Vascular Mechanisms in the Oral–Brain Axis Linking Periodontitis and Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 9, November 2026.Periodontitis is linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) beyond the microbial hypothesis. This review reframes the oral–brain axis as an osteoimmune and vascular problem: The OPG/RANKL system acts as a bone–brain interface in which elevated OPG may limit neuroprotective RANKL, and circulating endocan provides a shared, treatment‐responsive vascular ...
