Abstract:Perimenopausal period causes a significant amount of bone loss, which results in
primary osteoporosis (OP). The Periostin (Postn) may play important roles in the
pathogenesis of OP after ovariectomized (OVX) rats. To identify the roles of
Postn in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived osteoblasts (BMSC-OB) in
OVX rats, we investigated the expression of Wnt/β-catenin
signaling pathways in BMSC-OB and the … Show more
