Effects of vitamin B 12 , folate, uric acid, and serum biomarkers of inflammation on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women

Abstract: IntroductionDespite the accumulating evidence suggesting a possible relationship between femur and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and serum uric acid (UA), it is unclear whether alterations in UA levels reflect any underlying subclinical inflammatory conditions in postmenopausal osteoporosis. In addition, the mechanistic link between osteoporosis and dietary factors including vitamin B12 and folate in postmenopausal women is still obscure. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association betwe… Show more

“…Therefore, it was reasonable that vitamin C might improve bone health. In this study, there were no significant associations of serum vitamins B12 and E levels with BMD, which was consistent with previous studies [ 32 , 33 ]. The potential mechanisms of serum folate, vitamins A and C levels on bone health are presented in Fig.…”

“…It is generally considered that physiological concentration of blood uric acid has an anti-osteoporosis effect. On the one hand, uric acid has a certain protective effect on bone metabolism, which is believed to be related to its antioxidant function (Ahn et al, 2013; Beyazit and Pek, 2018). Uric acid is also positively correlated with the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) (Chikura et al, 2009; Hui et al, 2012) and can also affect bone metabolism by regulating the activity of 1α-hydroxylase.…”

“…Notably, under normal conditions, the kidneys continuously excrete uric acid out of the body, and the presence of circulating uric acids in the body is an important determinant of renal impairment (Stamp et al, 2011). In addition to being the routine biomarkers of kidney (Klein et al, 2018; Lu et al, 2018) and liver diseases (Drolz et al, 2018), urates or its related products are also proving to have diagnostic value in other important diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (Cova and Priori, 2018), diabetes (Xie et al, 2018), cardiovascular diseases (Murata et al, 2018), obstructive sleep apnea (Fleming et al, 2018), and bone inflammation (Beyazit and Pek, 2018). Urates or urea derivatives have also shown applicable values in clinical diagnosis of renal diseases (Yang et al, 2018), gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases (Siddiqui et al, 2016), using advanced technologies like self-powered implantable electronic-skin and non-invasive breath test, respectively.…”
