“…Previous studies have demonstrated that nonlethal hemorrhage results in a beneficial response to bone tissue, evoking a systemic osteogenic response. Acute blood loss in rodents results in immediate and sustained increases in biomarkers of bone formation (i.e., osteocalcin, osteoprotogerin) and lower bone resorption activity (i.e., RANKL) (22,23). Furthermore, acute hemorrhage has demonstrated the ability to increase mineral apposition rate and osteoblast number and reduce osteoclast number (22).…”
