Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) protein as well as its transcript was detected in primary osteoblasts derived from rat calvariae. To analyze the possible involvement of PPARgamma in the human bone metabolism, association between bone mineral density (BMD) and a polymorphism of PPARgamma gene was investigated in Japanese postmenopausal women. We examined a polymorphism...
