Abstract excerpt
Although increasing evidence suggests that estrogen receptor α (ESRα) genetic variation could modify bone damage caused by environmental fluoride exposure, little is known about epigenetic mechanisms in relation to bone changes. A case-control study was conducted among farmers aged 18-55 years in Henan Province, China. X-ray was used to detect bone changes. Methylation status was determined by...
