This study is focused on the effects of the synergic use of vitamins D and K on human osteoblasts primary cultures derived from osteoporotic and normal patients. The aim of this work is the evaluation of the different cellular behaviour in response to the lipophilic vitamins stimulation. We included 20 osteoporotic and 20 control patients in age between 35 and 50 and in age between 55 and 85. All patients gave informed consent for using bone samples as a source of bone cells. ...
