Abstract

It is well known that osteoblasts and osteoc1asts playa key role in bone metabolism. They involve in osteoformation or bone destruction which are ragulated by various factors such as thyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone, estrogen, growth factor and cytokine. Recently, it is demonstrated that oxidative stress is one of pathological factors in bone metabolism, but it is left unknown about mechanism between oxidative stress and bone metabolism.(omitted)
