Abstract
Osteoporosis and vascular calcification are chronic metabolic diseases threatening the health of aging people. The incidence of osteoporosis and vascular calcification increases year by year, and has drawn much attention from the scientific and clinical area. Many studies have found that osteoporosis and vascular calcification are not completely independent, but there are close correlations between them in the pathogenesis and underlying mechanisms. The underlying mechanisms of osteoporosis and vascular calcification include aging, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, lipid metabolism, calcium and phosphorus metabolism, vitamins, autophagy, and extracellular vesicles. This review updates the current understanding of the correlation and underlying mechanisms of osteoporosis and vascular calcification, and highlights the complexity of the bone-vascular axis, aiming to provide novel ideas for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and vascular calcification.
期刊介绍:
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry: An International Journal for Chemical Biology in Health and Disease publishes original research papers and short communications in all areas of the biochemical sciences, emphasizing novel findings relevant to the biochemical basis of cellular function and disease processes, as well as the mechanics of action of hormones and chemical agents. Coverage includes membrane transport, receptor mechanism, immune response, secretory processes, and cytoskeletal function, as well as biochemical structure-function relationships in the cell.
In addition to the reports of original research, the journal publishes state of the art reviews. Specific subjects covered by Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry include cellular metabolism, cellular pathophysiology, enzymology, ion transport, lipid biochemistry, membrane biochemistry, molecular biology, nuclear structure and function, and protein chemistry.
