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...
