Question: Context: Burns cause thermal injury to local tissue and trigger systemic acute inflammatory processes, which may lead to multiple distant organ dysfunction. We investigated the protective effect of dietary whey supplementation on distant organs in a rat model.', 'Forty-eight rats were divided into six groups of eight: groups 1 and 2 were the controls, fed a standard diet and a whey-supplemented diet, respectively; groups 3 and 4 were fed a standard diet and subjected to burn injury; and groups 5 and 6 were fed a whey-supplemented diet and subjected to burn injury. We measured the oxidative stress variables, as well as glutathione in the liver and kidney, and histologically examined skin samples obtained 4 h (groups 3 and 5) and 72 h (groups 4 and 6) after burn injury.', 'Glutathione (GSH) levels remained the same in the liver but were slightly elevated in the kidneys after burn injury in the rats fed a standard diet. Whey supplementation caused a significant increase in hepatic GSH levels 4 h after burn injury. Moreover, there was a significant rebound effect in the liver and kidney GSH levels after 72 h and whey supplementation potentiated this effect. Hepatic and renal lipid peroxide levels were also increased 4 h after burn injury in the rats fed a standard diet. Whey supplementation significantly suppressed the burn-induced increase in hepatic and renal lipid peroxide levels. Histological examination revealed that although whey supplementation resulted in decreased subepidermal inflammation, the indicators of wound healing and collagen deposition were not improved.\Question: Does whey feeding suppress the measurement of oxidative stress in experimental burn injury?

Answer: Whey pretreatment suppressed hepatic and renal oxidative stress measurements after experimental burn injury.


Question: Context: The present analyses intend to clarify if gender and puberty modify the relationship between bone development (modeling and remodeling) and fat mass at the forearm.', 'Data were collected from participants (139 males, 157 females, age = 5-19 years) of the Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed study in a cross-sectional investigation. The main outcome measures were total and trabecular bone mineral density (BMDtot and BMDtrab), strength strain index (SSI) and parameters associated with modeling (cortical area, CA; periosteal circumference, CP) and remodeling (cortical bone mineral density, BMDcort, endosteal circumference, CE) were analyzed in their relationship to cross-sectional fat (FA) and muscle area (MA) at the forearm.', 'BMDtot was correlated with FA in pubertal males (r = -0.25). BMDtrab was contrarily predicted by FA in pubertal males and females (r = -0.28 vs. 0.31). FA was correlated with BMDcort (r = -0.32) and CE (r = 0.26) in pubertal females. MA was positively correlated with CA, CP and SSI.\Question: Is local body composition associated with gender differences of bone development at the forearm in puberty?

Answer: Modeling and bone strength were primarily predicted by MA. Markers of remodeling were positively correlated with FA in pubertal females, but not in prepubertal individuals and pubertal males. Therefore, gender and puberty modify the relationship between FA and bone development.


Question: Context: This study characterizes ovariectomized (OVX)-induced osteoporotic fracture healing with focus on estrogen receptors (ERs). Callus formation plays a critical role in fracture healing, and ERs are well-known mechanosensors in osteogenic pathways. It was hypothesized that callus formation was related to and partially determined by the difference in expression patterns of ERs in both normal and OVX-induced osteoporotic fractures.', 'Closed femoral fracture in SHAM and ovariectomized rats were used in this study. Weekly callus width (CW) and area (CA), endpoint mechanical properties, gene expressions of Col-1, BMP-2, ER-α, ER-β and ER-α:ER-β ratios (ER-ratios), and correlations were assessed at 2, 4 and 8 weeks post-fracture.', 'CW and CA results confirmed that OVX-induced osteoporotic fracture was delayed at 2-4 weeks with impaired endpoint mechanical properties. Gene expressions of ER-α and ER-β were higher in the SHAM group at week 2 (p < 0.05) and later lowered at week 8; whereas the OVX group showed an opposing trend. Moderate correlation existed between ER-α and BMP-2 (0.545, p = 0.003), and ER-ratio and BMP-2 (0.601, p = 0.001), and BMP-2 to CW and CA (r = 0.709, p = 0.000 and r = 0.588, p = 0.001, respectively). ER-α and ER-β proteins expressions were confirmed by immunohistochemistry at the fracture callus in reparative progenitor cells, osteoblasts- and osteoclasts-like cells.\Question: Is callus formation related to the expression ratios of estrogen receptors-alpha and -beta in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic fracture healing?

Answer:
We conclude that the delayed healing rate and impaired callus quality in OVX-induced osteoporotic fracture is related to the delayed expression of ERs. A high ER-α:ER-β ratio favors callus formation.
