Background: Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and corruption of the microarchitectural structure of bone tissue.
Objective: It was investigated whether methylprednisolone had a favorable effect on osteoporotic bone tissue in Oophorectomy induced osteoporotic rats whose endogenous adrenaline levels are suppressed with metyrosine.
Materials And Methods: Bone Mineral Density, number of osteoblast-osteoclast, bone osteocalcin levels and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) measurements were performed. Obtained results were compared with that of alendronate.
Results: Oophorectomy induced osteoporosis was exacerbated by methylprednisolone. Alentronate prevented ovariectomised induced osteoporosis, but it couldn't prevent methylprednisolone +ovariectomised induced osteoporosis in rats.
Conclusion: Combined treatment with methylprednisolon and metyrosine was the best treatment for preventing osteoporosis but metyrosine alone couldn't prevent osteoporosis in ovariectomised rats.

Probiotics are known to have favorable effects on human health. Nevertheless, probiotics are not always beneficial and can cause unintended adverse effects such as bacteremia and/or inflammation in immunocompromised patients. In the present study, we investigated the effects of probiotics on the regulation of bone metabolism under different health conditions and delivery routes.

Diabetes exacerbates the occurrence and severity of periodontitis, the pathogenesis of diabetic periodontitis (DPD) is influenced by the delayed resolution of inflammation. Eldecalcitol (ED-71) has shown promise in preventing bone loss in DPD. We herein aimed to investigate the role of ED-71 in the inflammatory regression phase of DPD and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

In this study, the effects of ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis on the production of antioxidant and antiosteoporotic peptides derived from oysters were investigated. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis significantly enhanced the peptide content, free radical scavenging ability, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of total oyster protein hydrolysate (TOPH), with optimal results achieved at 200 W (TOPH-200). Correspondingly, ultrasound treatment at 200 W increased the exposure of hydrophobic regions, reduced α-helix content, and facilitated the generation of small molecular weight peptides in TOPH.

Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) causes osteoporosis and bone fractures, increasing morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV (PLH). ART induces immune reconstitution bone loss (IRBL), an inflammatory reaction associated with immune system reactivation. Women represent >50% of PLH, and many are now undergoing menopause, a major cause of postmenopausal osteoporosis that also increases fracture risk.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of morin, a flavonoid with beneficial properties, on ovariectomy-induced OP. Animals were ovariectomized (OVX) and treated with different doses of morin (15, 30, and 45 mg/kg/day) or estradiol (10 μg/kg/day) for 10 weeks by gavage.
