Correlation between bone mineral density and oxidative stress in postmenopausal women

Abstract

These findings support that oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis. We did not find any significant association between BMD and serum level of antioxidants (P > 0.05). The failure to detect this association does not preclude the role of OS in osteoporosis because OS is complex and dynamic process.
