    • Adipogenesis and osteoporosis Adipogénesis y osteoporosis 
      Rodríguez, Juan Pablo; Astudillo, Pablo; Ríos, Susana; Seitz, Germán; Pino, Ana María (2009)
      Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) found in bone marrow stroma, are able to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes, among other cell phenotypes. In normal bone marrow balanced osteoblastic an adipocytic cell differentiation ...
    • Adiposity and bone mineral density of Chilean elderly women in relation to toll-like receptor 4 gene polymorphisms 
      Santos, José Luis; Lera Marques, Lydia; Pérez Bravo, Francisco; Albala Brevis, Cecilia (2006)
      Background: It has been proposed that the toll-like receptor-4 gene (TLR4) may participate in the development of obesity and osteoporosis, in addition to its well-known role in the immune response. On the other hand, the ...
    • Alendronate in the prevention of osteoporosis: 7-year follow-up 
      Sambrook, P. N.; Rodriguez, J. P.; Wasnich, R. D.; Luckey, M. M.; Kaur, A.; Meng, L.; Lombardi, A. (Springer London, 2004)
      In a 3-year study followed by a 2-year open-label extension, alendronate sodium (ALN) maintained or increased bone mineral density (BMD) in 445 recently postmenopausal women with a spine BMD T-score > -2. In a second ...
    • Association of the estrogen receptor α gene polymorphisms with osteoporosis in the Mexican population 
      Gómez, A. B.; Magaña, J. J.; Cisneros, B.; Pérez-Salazar, E.; Faugeron, S.; Véliz, D.; Castro, C.; Rubio, J.; Casas, L.; Valdés-Flores, Margarita (2007)
      The estrogen receptor gene (ERα) has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis. In this study, the association of two ERα gene polymorphic markers (a TA dinucleotide repeat and a single nucleotide polymorphism, ...
    • Breastfeeding as the sole source of milk for 6 months and adolescent bone mineral density 
      Blanco, E.; Burrows, Raquel; Reyes, M.; Lozoff, Betsy; Gahagan, S.; Albala Brevis, Cecilia (Springer London, 2017)
      © 2017, International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation. Summary: Little is known regarding the relationship between early life factors and bone mineral density (BMD). We found a positive association ...
    • Efecto diferencial de leptina sobre PPARY y marcadores de diferenciación adipogénica en células troncales ... 
      Astudillo Besnier, Pablo Andres (Universidad de Chile, 2008)
      En esta tesis se estudio el perfil de expresión y fosforilación de PPARy durante el proceso de diferenciación adipogénica, en MSCs obtenidas desde la médula ósea de mujeres postmenopáusicas sanas y osteoporóticas,
    • Involvement of adipogenic potential of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in osteoporosis 
      Rodríguez, Juan Pablo; Astudillo, Pablo; Ríos, Susana; Pino, Ana María (2008)
      Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from bone marrow stroma are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts and adipocytes, among other cell phenotypes. In normal bone marrow osteoblastic and adipocytic cell differentiation occur ...
    • Metformin use is associated with a lower risk of osteoporosis in adult women independent of type 2 diabetes ... 
      Blumel Méndez, Juan; Arteaga, Eugenio; Aedo, Sócrates; Arriola Montenegro, José; López, Marcela; Martino, Mabel; Miranda, Carlos; Miranda, Octavio; Mostajo, Desiree; Nanez, Mónica; Ojeda, Eliana; Pilnik, Susana; Rojas, José; Salinas, Carlos; Sosa, Lida; Spritzer, Poli M.; Tserotas, Konstantinos; Vallejo, María; Belardo, Alejandra; Fighera, Tayane; Chedraui, Peter (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      Metformin may decrease cell senescence, including bone; hence we aimed at evaluating the association between metformin use and osteoporosis. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in 1259 Latin American adult women ...
    • Obesity as a protective factor for postmenopausal osteoporosis 
      Albala Brevis, Cecilia; Yáñez, M.; Devoto, Enzo; Sostin, C.; Zeballos, L.; Santos, J. L. (1996)
      Background: Obesity is considered a protective factor for osteoporosis improving bone mass and maintaining higher levels of estrogen during menopause. Objective: To determine the association of obesity with bone mineral ...
    • The links between osteoporosis and sarcopenia in women 
      Blumel Mendez, Juan Enrique; Arteaga, Eugenio; Vallejos, Maria Soledad; Chea Vine, Rosa Isabel (Springer, 2019)
      The world population is aging, so it is not uncommon that diseases associated with old age are steadily increasing. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are two disorders that seriously impair the quality of life in the elderly. ...
