Osteoporoza yeni çözüm

Yaşlı populasyon arttıkça, osteoporoz riski altındaki insan sayısı da artmaktadır. Kemik geri emilimini engelleyen ilaçlar bulunmasına rağmen, osteoporoz tedavisinde asıl ihtiyaç duyulan tedavi, anabolik ajanlarla uygulanandır. Bizim çalımamızda; kolesterol biyosentezinde ilk basamağı kontrol eden 3-hidroksi-3-metilglutaril Koenzim A redüktazı inhibe ederek etki eden simvastatinin kemik oluşumunu uyardığı in vivo olarak sıçanlarda gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ; kontrol ve simvastatin uygulandıktan sonra 7.,14. ve 21. günlerde incelenmek üzere dört gruba ayrılan sıçanlarda, normal kemik dokusundaki değişiklikleri değerlendirmektir. Sağlıklı bir hayvan modelinde izlenen değişiklikler; kılcal damar gelişimiyle beraber, kemik öncü hücrelerinde çoğalma ve farklanmada artış ve yeni osteoid doku oluşumudur.

New solution to osteoporosis

The number of people under the risk of osteoporosis is growing as the elderly population increases. Although there is such of drugs that inhibit bone resorption, the main therapy needed is an anabolic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis.In our study; inhibitor of the enzyme 3- hydroxy-3- methylglutaryl Coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, simvastatin, which controls the first step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, has been shown to stimulate bone formation in rats in vivo. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in normal bone tissue in rats that is grouped to four as a control and 7., 14., 21. day groups following simvastatin injection. The observed effects of the bone in a healty animal model included advencement of the blood supply, acceleration of the proliferation and differantiation of osteoprogenitor cells and formation of osteoid tissue.
