Title: | Potential of RAS inhibition to improve metabolic bone disorders | Authors: | Gebru, Y Diao, TY Pan, H Mukwaya, E Zhang, Y |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Source: | BioMed research international, 2013, v. 2013, 932691 | Abstract: | Metabolic bone disorder is usually caused by abnormalities of minerals and hormones metabolism. Recently, it has been proved by several studies that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in local bone tissue is directly involved in bone metabolism. Activation of skeletal RAS plays an important role in bone metabolic disorders. Based on in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies, this review explains the roles of RAS in bone metabolism and also covers the potential approaches and beneficial effects of RAS inhibition on bone health. Differential strategies for inhibiting RAS can be employed to maintain bone health, which are attributed primarily to the reduced level of angiotensin II (AngII) and suppressed stimulation of the AngII signaling pathway. The use of renin inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and AngII receptor blockers either individually or in combination with each other could have promising results in fighting bone metabolic disorders associated with other cardiovascular diseases as well as independent bone injuries. | Publisher: | Hindawi Publishing Corporation | Journal: | BioMed research international | ISSN: | 2314-6133 | EISSN: | 2314-6141 | DOI: | 10.1155/2013/932691 | Rights: | Copyright © 2013 Yoseph Gebru et al.
