骨髓脂肪的生物学功能及其与骨密度的关系研究进展

Research progress on biological function of bone marrow adipose and its relationship with bone mineral density

近年来研究表明骨髓脂肪在不同的年龄段、不同的营养状况呈现不同的功能,其与骨密度的关系也呈现不一致性,且不同人群其含量变化趋势有差异。本文就骨髓脂肪与骨密度的关系及其潜在的生物学功能进行综述。

Recent studies showed that bone marrow adipose tissue （BMAT） displayed different functions with various ages and nutritional status, and it had diverse relationships with bone mineral density （BMD）. Mean-while, the content of BMAT was various in different groups. In this paper, the potential biological function of BMAT and its relationship with BMD was reviewed.
