The role of leptin in normal and pathological bone resorption

Creator:: Philbrick, Kenneth Alan
Abstract:: Particles generated from wear of prosthesis joint bearing surfaces induce inflammation and promote pathological periprosthetic osteoclast-mediated bone resorption (osteolysis). Obesity increases the risk of prosthesis failure. However, despite being morbidly obese, leptin-deficient ob/ob mice are resistant to osteolysis. These findings suggest that leptin exerts effects that act to increase particle-induced...
