Obesity Related Hormone - High Risk of Bone Fracture - Hip Implants

One of the bodies of obesity-related hormone, adiponectin is linked to osteoporosis, which causes an increased risk of fracture, the Science Daily website said, citing a research group of the Academy Sahlgrenska University in Gothenburg, Sweden. However, detection of graphite in the metal on metal hip devices could lead to more sustainable.

Usually a protein hormone, adiponectin is made and secreted exclusively by adipocytes (fat cells) that adjust the metabolism of lipids and glucose. It influences the body's response to hormones insulin.The also received anti-inflammatory effects on cells lining the blood vessel walls, MedicineNet.com said.

High blood levels of adiponectin are associated with a risk of heart attack short, according to medical research. Small levels of adiponectin are found in people who are obese and are at high risk of a heart attack, according to MedicineNet.com.

The human skeletal system is not only the bones, the vertebrae and joints. It is a dynamic organ that is constantly associated with the brain, muscle and adipose tissue. Stem cells - the most important cells of the body - are trained in the skeleton, which hormones are also found that the governments of the body blood sugar and obesity by sending signals to other organs, according to the Science Daily website. New research has now shown that high rates of obesity hormone in the blood may be related to osteoporosis.

Mellström Dan, a scientist at the Sahlgrenska Academy and consultant at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden, is a prominent person in osteoporosis. As part of a research project around the world are studying the characteristics of the risks of osteoporosis in older men, he and his colleagues have observed in obesity hormone adiponectin. This research has now shown that men and women with high levels of this hormone also have skeletons more fragile and more fractures, and reduced muscle strength and muscle mass lower, increasing the risk of fractures. High adiponectin concentration to give the impression to be connected to increase the functional aging, the Science Daily website said.

High levels of adiponectin in the elderly appear to be associated with both reduced functioning of the musculature and skeleton more fragile, Mellstrom said. This means a high risk of fractures and falls, and mortality also increased, says the Science Daily online resources.

The benefits have been considered in the study of Mr. OS, led by the Sahlgrenska Academy, who had looked into the risk factors for osteoporosis in older men. Research includes about 11,000 men in Sweden, the United States and Hong Kong.

This fracture can cause hip pain causes patients to go through the hip and lower defective implants, against which patients filed DePuy Pinnacle trial.
