OSTEOPROTEGERIN AND BONE DENSITY [PDF]

Biomedical Papers, 2001
Aim of study was determine if a correlation exists between bone mass density and concentration of osteoprotegerin. We examined the group of 199 patients of mean age of 63 years. Of the group under study, 31 patients had normal bone density (T score > -1 and < 1) and 168 probands had osteopenia or osteoporosis (T < -1).

OSTEOPROTEGERIN, RANK, RANKL [PDF]

Biomedical Papers, 2001
Osteoprotegerin, RANK (Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor kappa B) and RANKL (Receptor Activator of Nuclear faktor kappa B ligand) became the aim of intensive research. RANK is considered as a hematopoietic surface receptor controlling osteoclastogenesis and calcium metabolism.

Association of Serum Osteoprotegerin Levels with Bone Loss in Chronic Kidney Disease: Insights from the KNOW-CKD Study.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Osteoprotegerin, a potent osteoclast activation inhibitor, decreases bone resorption and positively affects bone mineral density. This study examined the association between serum osteoprotegerin levels and bone loss in patients with chronic kidney ...

The Roles of Osteoprotegerin and Osteoprotegerin Ligand in the Paracrine Regulation of Bone Resorption [PDF]

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2000
Abstract Although multiple hormones and cytokines regulate various aspects of osteoclast formation, the final two effectors are osteoprotegerin ligand (OPG-L)/osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF), a recently cloned member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, and macrophage colony–stimulating factor.

Associations of Bone Mineral Density with RANKL and Osteoprotegerin in Arab Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-Sectional Study

Medicina, 2022
Background and objective: There is limited information as to the association of several key bone markers with bone mineral density (BMD) in understudied ethnic groups. This study investigated the relationship between circulating levels of osteoprotegerin

Serum Osteoprotegerin and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Are Related to High Arterial Stiffness in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Diagnostics, 2021
Arterial stiffness (AS) is a complex vascular phenomenon with consequences for central hemodynamics and left-ventricular performance. Circulating biomarkers have been associated with AS; however, their value in heart failure is poorly characterized.

Association of serum osteoprotegerin with vascular calcification in patients with type 2 diabetes

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2013
Background Osteoprotegerin is a member of the tumor necrosis factor-related family and inhibits RANK stimulation of osteoclast formation as a soluble decoy receptor.

Interleukin-19 promotes bone resorption by suppressing osteoprotegerin expression in BMSCs in a lipopolysaccharide-induced bone loss mouse model

Bone & Joint Research, 2023
Aims: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased trabecular bone volume, and microarchitectural deterioration in the medullary cavity. Interleukin-19 (IL-19), a member of the IL-10 family, is an anti-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by ...

Serum OPG and RANKL Levels as Risk Factors for the Development of Cardiovascular Calcifications in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients in Hemodialysis

Life, 2023
Cardiovascular calcifications (CVC) are frequently observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and contribute to their cardiovascular mortality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of osteoprotegerin (OPG)/Receptor Activator ...

Serum Osteoprotegerin Level Is Negatively Associated with Bone Mineral Density in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis

Medicina, 2021
Background and Objectives: Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a potent osteoclast activation inhibitor, decreases bone resorption and plays a role in mediating bone mineral density (BMD).
