## Abstract Leptin has been advocated as a centrally acting factor responsible for inhibiting accumulation of bone mass. However, recent investigations unequivocally establish leptin as a local (autocrine) factor expressed by osteoblasts. Exogenously added leptin causes osteoblastic cell proliferat
## Abstract Osteoclast activity is thought to be regulated by calcitonin, as well as by the level of ionised calcium generated locally as a result of bone resorption. The exposure of isolated osteoclasts to elevated ambient calcium levels has been shown to lower resorptive activity and to reduce ra
## Abstract A novel compound, __N__^6^โ(4โhydroxybenzyl)adenosine, isolated from __Gastrodia elata__ and which has been shown to be a potential therapeutic agent for preventing and treating neurodegenerative disease, was found to target both the adenosine A~2A~ receptor (A~2A~R) and the equilibrati
## Abstract The rapid, nonโgenomic actions of 1,25โdihydroxyvitamin D~3~ [1,25(OH)~2~D~3~] have been well described, however, the role of the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) in this pathway remains unclear. To address this question, we used VDR(+/+) and VDR(โ/โ) osteoblasts isolated from wildโtype
