Factors that influence bone

Dietary:minerals & vitamins


Hormones


Exercise

Dietary

Minerals: Ca & P (also Mg, F, Mn)


Vitamins: A-stim osteoblast activ


C- needed for collage syn


D- stim Ca absorption


K,B12- need for syn bone proteins

Ca homeostasis

Goal: reg blood Ca w/in norm range (8.5-11.0 mg/dl)


Why- Ca important physiological role: membrane excitability(blood clotting) & intercellular activ(2nd messenger)


How- control Ca entry into & exit from blood: bone storage, intestinal absorption, kidney excretion

Hormones involved in Ca homeostasis

Calcitonin


Parathyroid hormone


Calcitriol (vitamin D)

Calcitonin

Stim: high blood Ca


Source: thyroid gland (parafollicular cell)


Target tissue: bone, kidney, intestine


Actions (goal to decrease bone resorption): inhibit osteoclast activity, increase excretion of Ca at kidney, inhibit absorption of Ca at intestine


End result: decrease blood Ca

Parathyroid hormone

Stim: low blood Ca


Source: parathyroid gland


Target tissue: bone, kidney, intestine


Actions (goal to increase Ca): stim osteoclast activity, decrease excretion of Ca at kidney, stim intestinal absorption of Ca & promote calcitriol (vit D) action


End result: increase blood Ca

Vitamin D

Calcitriol: active form of vit D


1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol or 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3


Vit D steroid hormone- derived from cholesterol (lipophilic/hydrophobic)

Actions of calcitriol (active form of vit D)

Stim osteoclast activ (increase bone resorption)


Decrease Ca excretion at kidney


Increase Ca absorption at intestine (works well with PTH stim absorption)


End result: increase blood Ca

How much Ca should you have per day?

Young adults(19-50) need 1000mg Ca from diet&sup to avoid bone loss

Hormones that influence bone

Calcitonin & PTH = osteoclasts


Growth hormone(somatotropin) & estrogen/testosterone = osteoblasts

Growth hormone (somatotropin)

Stim cell growth & protein syn (collagen)


Stim form of insulin like growth factors (IGFs) --> stim osteoblast activ --> stim bone form

Skeletal disorders associated w/ GH

Pituitary dwarfism


Pituitary giantism


Acromegaly

Pituitary dwarfism

Children w/ low levels of growth hormone--> slow epiphyseal growth (short stature)

Pituitary giantism

Hypersection of growth hormone in childhood--> accelerated epiphyseal growth (tall stature)

Acromegaly

Hypersecretion of growth hormone after puberty--> appositional growth (thickening of bones) in skull, hands, feet--> epiphyseal plates of long bones already closed

Estrogen/testosterone

Both stim osteoblast activity--> stim bone form


Levels increase at puberty: bone growth/height spurts, eventually cause closure of epiphyseal plates because osteoblast/osteoclast activity slightly greater than chondrocyte activ


Levels decrease w/ older age

Effect of exercise on bone

Bone will chg in response to stresses


1. Muscle pulling on bone --> joint rxn forces


2. Impact --> ground rxn forces

Spongy vs compact

Spongy- more metabolically active- can respond to chgs in mechanical loading more readily


Most likely sites of fracture areas w/ high spongy bone content (hip, wrist, spine)

Role of exercise

Goal: reach fracture threshold later in life


Early- increase peak bone mass


Later- prevent bone loss


Other benefits- fall prevention


- improved strength, balance, coordination

Bone estrogen strength training (BEST) study
