Relation of bone mineral density with homocysteine and cathepsin K levels in postmenopausal women

Relation of bone mineral density with homocysteine and cathepsin K levels in postmenopausal women

Background: Homocysteine (HCY) interferes with collagen cross-linking in bones and stimulates osteoclast activity. The activated osteoclasts secrete cathepsin K (CathK), a cysteine protease, in eminent quantity during bone resorption. Hyperhomocysteinemia may effect bone mineral density (BMD) throug...
