Abstract excerpt
A number of factors with known effects on bone turnover are also immune regulatory factors. Disturbances of bone remodeling thus may be a consequence of altered local immune reactivity. We therefore determined surface markers and intracellular cytokine production of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by four-color flow cytometry in 19 postmenopausal patients with established osteoporosis and a control group of 11...
