1. Efeito do óxido nítrico sobre fêmures e vértebras lombares de ratos orquiectomizados.
Osteoporosis is attributed to an imbalance between bone formation and resorption, followed by bone mass loss and microarchitectural deterioration, leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risk. Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule with important regulatory effects on bone cell function. Nitric oxide donor nitroglycerin has been reported to allev

2. Relationship between NMR transverse relaxation, trabecular bone architecture, and strength.
Structure, biomechanical competence, and incremental NMR line broadening (R'2) of water in the intertrabecular spaces of cancellous bone were examined on 22 cylindrical specimens from the lumbar vertebral bodies of 16 human subjects 24-86 years old (mean, 60 years old). A strong association (r = 0.91; P < 0.0001) was found between Young's modulus of elastici
