“…The sympathetic nervous system regulates bone metabolism by decreasing osteoblast activity and increasing osteoclast activity (Elefteriou et al, ; Togari & Arai, ; Takeda et al, ). Tooth movement is increased by increased bone metabolic turnover due to sympathetic activation (Kondo, Kondo, Miyazawa, Goto, & Togari, ; Sato et al, ). A previous study reported that spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with sympathicotonia (Klemola, Huttunen, Laine, Weckström, & Hirvonen, ; Nagatsu et al, ; Wang, Hsu, Jee, & Matthews, ) have hypertension and osteoporosis due to decreased lumbar and tibial bone mass (Sato, Arai, Goto, & Togari, ).…”
