Abstract
Background
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, can cause damage to DNA, protein and lipids. Oxidative stress has been implicated in a wide variety of disease processes, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, neurodegerative disorder and process of aging. Recently, it has been also suggested that oxidative stress is causally associated with pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the association between the marker of oxidative stress and either the bone turnover markers and bone mineral density (BMD).
Methods
Oxidative stress was evaluated in serum by measurement of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in 135 postmenopausal subjects (68.2±4.9 years, BMI 24.4±2.8 kg/m2). Women who had taken drugs which affected bone metabolism and who had past history of smoking were excluded. The biochemical markers of bone formation (osteocalcin) and resorption (carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP)) were measured from the same specimen. BMD of lumbar spine, and hip were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Results
In multivariate linear regression analyses, the 8-OHdG levels were negatively associated with BMD of lumbar spine, total proximal femur, femoral neck, trochanter, and positively associated with the ICTP levels. Odds ratio (OR) of the 8-OHdG for osteoporosis in lumbar spine and osteoporosis and/or osteopenia in total proximal femur were 1.70 (1.20~2.39, p=0.003) and 1.36 (0.97~1.91, p=0.043), respectively. OR for increased bone resorption was 4.22 (1.44~7.72, p=0.009) in the highest 8-OHdG quantile.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that oxidative stress is associated with increased bone resorption and low bone mass in healthy women.
