## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key mediators in extraβcellular matrix remodelling and implicated primarily in bone growth, and particularly in osteoclastic bone resorption. We hypothesise that MMPs have a role in the increased bone remodelling resulting from oestrogen deficiency.

Objective. Inhibitors of prostaglandin production, such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and pharmacologic nitric oxide (NO) donors, such as organic nitrates, have been suggested to protect against bone loss in both humans and experimental animals. Recently, a new class of nitrosylat
## Abstract The Runx2 gene is essential for osteoblast differentiation and function. In vivo overβexpression of Runx2 in osteoblasts increases bone resorption, and blocks terminal osteoblast differentiation. Several lines of evidence suggest that osteoblastic matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) could
