Background and Aims: Atherosclerosis osteoporosis share common risk factors, as well inflammatory mechanisms. Our aim was to understand how atherosclerotic lesions are related with disturbances in bone. Methods: Gene expression of pro-inflammatory bone metabolism proteins ( IL-1 β , IL-6, IL-17A, TNF, RANKL, OPG, COL1, CTSK, OCL, TRAP, CBFA1, DKK1, SOST, ADIPOQ ADIPOR1 ) were analyzed arteries bones from 45 deceased donors adipose tissue used control. Additionally, 139 patients advanced...
