Bone mineral density (BMD) is a major risk factor for osteoporosis. Circulating monocytes may serve as early progenitors of osteoclasts and produce a wide variety of factors important to bone metabolism. However, little is known about the roles of circulating monocytes in relation to the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. Using the Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChip(R) array, we performed a comparative gene expression study of circulating monocytes in subjects with high and low BMD. We identified in tot ...[more]
