methylmalonic acid and Osteoporosis

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Osteoporosis in 4 studies

Methylmalonic Acid: A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.
methylmalonic acid : A dicarboxylic acid that is malonic acid in which one of the methylene hydrogens is substituted by a methyl group.

Osteoporosis: Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Primary osteoporosis can be of two major types: postmenopausal osteoporosis (OSTEOPOROSIS, POSTMENOPAUSAL) and age-related or senile osteoporosis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Previous data suggest that elevated serum total homocysteine (tHcy) may be a risk factor for bone fracture and osteoporosis."3.81B-vitamin status and bone mineral density and risk of lumbar osteoporosis in older females in the United States. ( Bailey, RL; Eicher-Miller, HA; Fakhouri, TH; Fan, R; Gahche, JJ; Looker, AC; Lu, Z; Mills, JL; Weaver, CM, 2015)
" Serum vitamin B12 was related to BMD in dose-response fashion up to about 200 pmol/L, and subjects with serum Hcy > or = 20 micromol/L had significantly lower BMD than subjects with serum Hcy < 10 micromol/L."1.33Relation between homocysteine and B-vitamin status indicators and bone mineral density in older Americans. ( Jacques, PF; Morris, MS; Selhub, J, 2005)
