One side-effect, however, is a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk.
Wnt signaling and LRP5/6 coreceptor activity can be blocked by the sclerostin (SOST) and Dickkopf (Dkk), leading to a decrease in bone mass.
"Our study shows that these salts could prevent osteoporosis, as our results showed a decrease in bone resorption," said Lambert.
In the past, it was widely believed that a decrease in bone density was the main cause of osteoporotic fractures.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that combines both a decrease in bone density and its internal architecture changes.

Metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis usually cause a decrease in bone mass and a deterioration of bone microarchitecture leading to a decline in bone strength.
