In 2024, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) published a report entitled Advancing Research on Chronic Conditions in Women. A major purpose of this report was to summarize the current state of research into…
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a heritable multisystem disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-coding gene ALPL. The genotype-phenotype correlation in heterozygous adults with HPP remains incom…
Despite the potent effect of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment on promoting new bone formation, bone mineral density (BMD) rapidly decreases upon discontinuation of PTH administration. To uncover the mechanisms behind this ad…
We review advancing and overlapping stages for our understanding of the expressions of six hyperparathyroid (HPT) syndromes: multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) or type 4, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A), hyperparathyroi…
The effects of estrogen suppression on osteonal remodeling in young women was investigated using transiliac biopsies (eight paired biopsies + four single pre; three single post biopsies) taken before and after treatment for endometriosis (6…
We investigated the determinants of bone formation at individual remodeling sites (BMUs) in cancellous bone from 8 osteologically normal, sex hormone-replete women with endometriosis. All were tetracycline double-labeled (2, 12, 2, and 4 da…
The estrogen agonist and antagonist clomiphene citrate has been shown to prevent bone loss induced by ovariectomy in the rat. In young women estrogen-deficiency bone loss is a clinical problem associated with the use of luteinizing hormone …
