Changes in the MicroRNA Profile of the Mandible of Ovariectomized Mice
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: In postmenopausal women, a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip and spine is associated with an increased risk of tooth loss, possibly caused by the loss of the alveolar bone. The present study explored the effect of the ovariectomy (OVX) of mice on the miRNA expression profile of their bones. METHODS: Micro-CT and histological analysis were performed on mice following OVX or...
