Estrogen deficiency promotes bone loss and skeletal muscle dysfunction. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists and high-impact exercise both affect musculoskeletal properties. Whereas PPARδ agonists ameliorate training response in muscle, PPARα agonists exert beneficial effects in bone and muscle. In the present study we investigated the effects of the PPARα agonist fenofibrate and high-impact jumping exercise alone and combined in ovariectom...

Epidemiological studies suggest that patients using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have increased fracture risk. We have previously shown that H+/K+ATPase beta-subunit knockout (KO) mice have reduced BMD, BMC and mechanical bone strength compared to WT. Like users of PPIs, these mice have elevated serum gastrin levels due to high gastric pH. We wanted to study whether elevated gastrin influences bone quality in these mice.Female KO and WT mice aged 6 week...
