The Study of LTBP1 of Postmenopausal Women Osteoporosis Molecular Mechanism of Kidney Yang Deficiency Syndrome

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone mass as well as a deterioration of the bone architecture resulting in an increased risk of fracture,which is directly related to the lack of estrogen and also associated with a variety of genetic and acquired factors. Previous studies have found that POP molecular regulation mechanism of kidney Yang deficiency syndrome may be associated with LTBP1 gene expression.

This topic using RT-PCR and Western Blot detection POP of kidney Yang deficiency group and healthy group LTBP1 mRNA and proteion's expression level,validate LTBP1 relevance to POP the kidney Yang deficiency syndrome.To provide a scientific basis for clinical treatment.
