简要总结
The main hypothesis is that muscle acts on bone tissue via the secretion of myokines (myostatin, follistatin, irisin). This is based on previous results showing that muscle mass in different patient populations with very different body mass indexes (anorexic or obese patients) is significantly and independently associated with bone mineral density.
详细描述
Bone densitometry using X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the reference technique for measuring Bone Mineral Density (BMD). According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), if a single site is to be preferred, it should be the total hip or femoral neck, using a single NHANES III reference curve. It should be stressed, however, that this curve was obtained from a North American population with anthropometric parameters, notably body mass index (BMI), that differ from those of the European population, particularly the Caucasian population. Apparently, only one reference curve has been obtained in France, from the OFELY study in 1993. Given the age of this cohort and the possibility of BMI changes over time in the Caucasian population, but even more so, the impossibility of transposing this curve onto new DXAs of different brands, new reference curves need to be developed. DMS IMAGING is therefore financing the MONIKA study, with the CHU de Nîmes as sponsor.
As part of this study, some 425 healthy female volunteers aged between 20 and 89 will be recruited from three centers (Nîmes, Montpellier, Lyon). A DXA examination at various bone sites (femur, rachis, radius and whole body) will provide up-to-date normalcy curves for BMD, but also for body composition (fat and lean mass), which are currently lacking. Access to this population could also enable us to better understand bone physiology and the links that may exist between bone tissue and muscle and fat tissue.For example, the serum concentration of leptin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, is associated with bone mass in non-obese women.More recent data show that skeletal muscle also has a secretory activity, characterized by the production of myokines.In humans, there are various arguments in favour of myostatin's action on bone tissue.However, clinical studies in humans are very limited.Through two clinical studies, myokine levels were assessed in two populations with very different BMIs. Female patients suffering from anorexia nervosa, for example, showed decreased myostatin levels, increased follistatin levels and comparable irisin levels, in parallel with very low BMD, compared with a population of young, non-malignant women.
In obese women with high BMD, it was also shown that myostatin and follistatin levels were high, whereas irisin levels were lower than in a control population. Furthermore, the effect of lean body mass on BMD was partially mediated by irisin. These results are still preliminary, having been obtained on a small group of subjects, and merit further investigation on a representative population scale. However, there are apparently no age-dependent reference values for these myokines.
In addition to the involvement of these myokines in the muscle-bone complex, these factors could also be involved in the muscle-fat complex, since new functions are now being attributed to them, such as lipolysis, which could affect the concentrations of certain adipokines, such as leptin, which in turn could have an impact on bone formation and resorption. The main hypothesis is that muscle acts on bone tissue via the secretion of myokines (myostatin, follistatin, irisin). This is based on previous results showing that muscle mass in different patient populations with very different BMIs (anorexic or obese patients) is significantly and independently associated with BMD.
