Abstract:
... Vitamin D deficiency is a global health issue with consequences for bone health. Complexation of vitamin D₃ with specific whey proteins might increase the bioavailability and enhance the effect of dietary supplementation on health outcomes. The current rat study was set up to investigate if complexation of vitamin D₃ with whey protein isolate (WPI) or β-lactoglobulin (B-LG) increases bioavailabili ...

Abstract:
... Glucocorticoids have adverse side effects that can compromise bone tissue. There is evidence to show that symbiotics and curcumin can prevent bone loss. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of curcumin and symbiotic to prevent and/or minimize a possible bone impairment in rats submitted to the use of dexamethasone. Fifty Wistar female rats were divided into five groups: control group ( ...

Abstract:
... Context Mineralisation of the bone matrix is a pivotal factor affecting bone strength in broilers. Reduced bone strength might cause fracture during catching and transportation to slaughterhouses, leading to economic loss. Aims This study was conducted to investigate the effects of l -arginine (Arg), guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), and l -citrulline (Cit) supplementation to Arg-deficient reduced-prote ...

Abstract:
... Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by decreased bone mineral density and impaired bone strength. Carfilzomib (CFZ) is a new-generation proteasome inhibitor and has been found to affect bone metabolism. However, the effect and mechanism of CFZ on OP has not been investigated systematically. In this study, we found that protein levels of proteasome activator subunit 1/2 (PSME1/2) increased in OP, an ...

Abstract:
... An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein levels on growth performance, serum and bone parameters, production performance, and egg quality of Hy-Line brown chicken. A total of 384 pullets were randomly allotted to one of 3 groups with 8 replicates of 16 birds each and were fed with a diet containing 14% crude protein (CP), 16% CP, or 18% CP from 8 to 18 wk. At 18 ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Early life vitamin D exposure is linked to later skeletal health with maternal vitamin D status in pregnancy associated with neonatal bone mass. The MAVIDOS study has demonstrated that vitamin D supplementation leads to reduced RXRA DNA methylation. Mice exposed to early life vitamin D deficiency have reduced bone mass and bone accrual in response to mechanical loading. Using the tibia ...

Abstract:
... Numerous publications over the past 5 decades have investigated the effect of limestone particle size (LmPS) on production performance, bone mineralization, and limestone solubilization in laying hens. Coarse limestone particles have been shown to improve eggshell quality and bone mineralization. However, there is a large variability of responses in birds to this factor, indicating the need to bet ...

Abstract:
... Several male animal studies have demonstrated bone-protective effects of dried plum; however, no human male study has evaluated the effect of dried plum on bone health. We conducted a randomized controlled clinical study to test if daily inclusion of 100 g of dried plum in the diet positively influenced bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, and bone biomarkers in men. Sixty-six men were rando ...

Abstract:
... Aging is associated with reductions in muscle and bone mass and brain function, which may be counteracted by several lifestyle factors, of which exercise appears to be most beneficial. However, less than 20% of older adults (> 55 years of age) adhere to performing the recommended amount of resistance training (≥ 2 days/week) and less than 12% regularly meet the aerobic exercise guidelines (≥ 150 m ...

Abstract:
... Bone strength and the incidence and severity of skeletal disorders vary significantly among human populations, due in part to underlying genetic differentiation. While clinical models predict that this variation is largely deleterious, natural population variation unrelated to disease can go unnoticed, altering our perception of how natural selection has shaped bone morphologies over deep and rece ...
... Influence of marine mineral complex (CeltiCal) as a partial substitute for limestone on growth efficiency, carcass traits, meat quality, bone strength, calcium (Ca) retention, and immune response was investigated in broilers fed low-Ca diets with or without phytase (PHY) addition for a 35-d trial period. A total of 300 one-day-old Ross 308 straight-run broilers were randomly allocated to: T1 (posi ...

The strains encompassed 2 conventional (CONV; ADG₀₋₄₈ >60 g/d) and 12 slower-growing (SG) strains classified as FAST (ADG₀₋₆₂ = 53–55 g/d), MOD (ADG₀₋₆₂ = 50–51 g/d), and SLOW (ADG₀₋₆₂ <50 g/d), with 4 strains represented in each SG category. A total of 7,216 mixed-sex b ...

Abstract:
... Living near green spaces may benefit various health outcomes. However, no studies have investigated the greenness-bone linkage in the general population. Moreover, to which extent ambient air pollution (AAP), physical activity (PA), and body mass index (BMI) mediate this relationship remains unclear. We aimed to explore the association between greenness and bone strength and the potential mediatin ...

In total, 21 female Wistar rats were assigned to two groups: sham-operated (SHAM, n = 7) and ovariectomized (OVA, n = 14). After 12 weeks of osteopenia induction in the OVA females, the animals were given i.p. physiological saline (OVA, n = ...

Abstract:
... Skeletal abnormalities such as bone loss occur when there is an imbalance in bone matrix synthesis and bone resorption. This imbalance is also caused by hormonal changes and inflammation. Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) has a high nutritional value and is an excellent source of calcium. Evaluate the bioavailability of calcium from chia, and its effect on bone metabolism when consumed as part of a stand ...
