Circulating osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand system are associated with bone metabolism in middle‐aged males

Abstract: Our data show that the circulating OPG-RANKL system is associated with bone metabolism in the male populations. Also, our data suggest that OPG and RANKL may be mediators of the effects of oestradiol in male bone metabolism.

“…Published findings of serum OPG-bone mineral density (BMD) associations in humans have been inconsistent (3,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and few studies have assessed the associations of RANKL (18)(19)(20) and the RANKL/ OPG ratio (20,21) with BMD. To test the a priori hypotheses that OPG-BMD associations are positive and RANKL-BMD associations are negative in humans, we conducted a cross-sectional and prospective study of the associations of serum levels of OPG, RANKL, and their ratio with BMD in older men and postmenopausal women, stratified by use of estrogen.…”

“…The chromosome 15 locus contains the gene for tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B precursor (Tnfrsf11b or osteoprotegerin) at 54.3 Mb. Osteoprotegerin is a regulator of osteoclastogenesis (26). Interleukin 4-induced I (chromosome 7, 23.1 cM) and procollagen, type II, ␣1 (chromosome 15, 54.5 cM) also have been implicated as osteoporosis candidate genes (27).…”
