Titelbeschreibung

<p>This volume is designed to provide an understanding of current and potential therapies for osteoporosis. The opening chapter introduces the&nbsp; cells of bone and their interactions. &nbsp;Several following chapters describe factors affecting bone including systemic hormones with significant effects on bone, and local&nbsp;mediators including growth factors, prostaglandins, cytokines and chemokines.&nbsp;Topics that&nbsp;have&nbsp;commanded&nbsp;particular attention recently are&nbsp;calcium,&nbsp;FGF-23,&nbsp;nervous system bone&nbsp;interactions. Drugs that cause bone loss&nbsp;provide important information on mechanism as well as therapeutic considerations.&nbsp;An overview&nbsp;of the genetics of bone disorders and a discussion of the pathophysiology of osteoporosis establish the clinical context. The final chapters discuss current and potential osteoporosis treatments.&nbsp;</p>
