For example, a structure/function claim for calcium supplements may say that they are "for maintenance of bone health," but it may not say that they are "intended to cure osteoporosis".
It is not known whether bone properties change sufficiently to have biological consequence, but, to the extent that such change does occur, renewal around osteocytes would provide for the physical maintenance of bone structural material.
Bone remodelling is a dynamic process required for the maintenance of bone architecture in response to the changing mechanical needs.
Several studies have emphasized the importance of the maintenance of bone health in a comprehensive cancer care.
Tight interactions among different cell types contributing to bone formation are of key importance in the maintenance of bone homeostasis.
This chapter focuses on androgens, which have important beneficial effects on skeletal development and on the maintenance of bone mass in both men and women.
Since CD59a is the principal regulator of the membrane attack complex in mice, we evaluated the impact of CD59a gene deletion upon maintenance of bone architecture.
Therefore, the intra-sinus augmented site under the HA/PLLA mesh plate was not affected by pneumatization due to air pressure associated with respiration, which could contribute to the maintenance of bone volume after sinus lift [11].
Copper is incorporated into a variety of proteins and metallo-enzymes which perform essential metabolic functions; the micronutrient is necessary for the proper growth, development and maintenance of bone, connective tissue, brain, heart and many other body organs.
We all rely on the action of sunlight on skin to generate vitamin D. Vitamin D, in turn, is essential for the absorption of calcium from food, and the growth and maintenance of bone -- among many other functions.
The roles of vitamin D in calcium homeostasis and the maintenance of bone health are widely recognized [39], [42].
