Abstract excerpt
Bone loss in response to alcohol intake has previously been hypothesized to be mediated by excessive production of reactive oxygen species via NADPH oxidase (Nox) enzymes. Nox4 is one of several Nox enzymes expressed in bone. We investigated the role of Nox4 in the chondro-osteoblastic lineage of the long bones in mice during normal chow feeding and during chronic ethanol feeding for 90 days. We generated mice...
