Erythropoietin suppresses osteoblast apoptosis and ameliorates steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head in rats by inhibition of STAT1-caspase 3 signaling pathway

Abstract Background Steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is characterized by osteoblast apoptosis, leading to a loss of bone structure and impaired hip joint function. It has been demonstrated that erythropoietin (EPO) performs a number of biological roles. Objective We exa...
