Age-related changes in the structure of the proteoglycan subunits from human articular cartilage.
The proteoglycan of articular cartilage provides this tissue with its elastic properties, and the structure of these molecules plays a major role in determining the resilience of the tissue to compression. In the present paper we have shown that the structure of the proteoglycan subunits in human articular cartilage changes considerably between the fetus and the mature adult. These changes occu...
متن کاملAge-related Changes in Bending Fatigue of Human Cortical Bone
Age-related non-traumatic fractures are a major health problem. Historically, only bone mass was considered to predict fracture risk but other factors, including accumulation of microdamage, may also affect bone quality and contribute to bone fragility. Previous studies conducted in our laboratory have demonstrated that the predisposition of bone to form linear microcracks and not diffuse damag...
متن کاملAge-related changes in mouse bone permeability.
The determination of lacunar-canalicular permeability is essential for understanding local fluid flow in bone, which may indicate how bone senses changes in the mechanical environment to regulate mechano-adaptation. The estimates of lacunar-canalicular permeability found in the literature vary by up to eight orders of magnitude, and age-related permeability changes have not been measured in non...
متن کاملAge related changes in indices of bone metabolism and oxidative stress in Postmenopausal women in Southern Nigeria
Background and Objectives: Oxidative stress (OS) associated with estrogen deficiency in menopause has been implicated in various complications of menopause. Some indices of OS, bone metabolism, and uric acid (UA) in postmenopausal women were assessed as possible predictors of gouty osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: This case-control study enrolled 40 postmenopausal women and 60 premenopau...
متن کاملAge-Related Changes in Bone Remodelling and Structure in Men: Histomorphometric Studies
Histomorphometric studies of the age-related changes in bone remodelling and structure in men are relatively sparse and mainly limited to the iliac crest. The available data indicate that loss of trabecular bone is predominantly due to decreased formation at the level of individual bone remodelling units and that an increase in remodelling rate does not play a major role. The main structural co...
