Osteocytic expression of constitutive NO synthase isoforms in the femoral neck cortex: a case-control study of intracapsular hip fracture.
UNLABELLED: NO is an osteocytic signaling molecule that can inhibit osteoclasts. The NO synthases eNOS and nNOS were expressed by >50% of osteonal osteocytes in controls. Hip fracture cases showed +NOS osteocytes only in deep osteonal bone, and 25-35% reduced expression overall. These data a...
