Aspirin Use For Prevention And Treatment Of Osteoporosis
Researchers at the University of Southern California, School of Dentistry have uncovered the health benefits of aspirin in the fight against osteoporosis. Forty-four million Americans, 68 percent of whom are women, suffer from the debilitating effects of osteoporosis according to the National Institute of Health. One out of every two women and one in four men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.
This latest study identifies aspirin’s medicinal role on two fronts. In mice, the drug appears to prevent both improper bone resorption and the death of bone-forming stem cells. The findings will be published in PLoS ONE http://www.plosone.org/doi/pone.0002615 on Wednesday, July 9.
