Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence of a biochemical link between oxidative stress and bone metabolism. Oxidative stress has been shown to be involved in bone resorption as it causes loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), can prevent these effects of the oxidative stress on bone formation. It has been suggested that the PON1 gene as possibly implicated in reduced BMD in bone fragility cases. It has...
