Expression of Estrogen Receptors Alfa and Beta mRNA and Alkaline Phosphatase in the Differentiation of Osteoblasts from Elderly Postmenopausal Women: Comparison with Osteoblasts from Osteosarcoma Cell Lines

Expression of Estrogen Receptors Alfa and Beta mRNA and Alkaline Phosphatase in the Differentiation of Osteoblasts from Elderly Postmenopausal Women: Comparison with Osteoblasts from Osteosarcoma Cell Lines

Objective: To evaluate the expression of estrogen receptors (ER) a and b, and activity of alkaline phosphatase during differentiation of primary osteoblast cells (hOB) from aged postmenopausal women and human osteosarcoma cell lines (HOS, MG63). Materials and Methods: Osteoblast cultures were prepar...
