Aim: Identify new potential biomarkers of osteoporosis at an early stage, by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), studying early changes in the metabolic profile of bone-marrow fatty acids in women's calcanei during healthy aging and osteoporosis status. Methods: Single voxel MRS was performed by using a point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) sequence at 3T. Thirty- four Caucasian women (age range: 22-59 years) were recruited to investigate calcaneus bone marrow. The cohort was constituted of four groups according to age, menopausal status, and T-score evaluated after a DXA examination on the femoral neck. Women were classified in young control (n = 11, mean age = 26.5 ± 3.8 y, age range: 22-34 years), perimenopausal groups (n = 11, mean age = 42.0 ± 3.6 y, age range: 37-47 years), postmenopausal group (n = 9, mean age = 55.4 ± 2.9 y, age range: 50-59 years, mean T-score =

Abstract
Aim: Identify new potential biomarkers of osteoporosis at an early stage, by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), studying early changes in the metabolic profile of bone-marrow fatty acids in women's calcanei during healthy aging and osteoporosis status. Methods: Single voxel MRS was performed by using a point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) sequence at 3T. Thirty- four Caucasian women (age range: 22-59 years) were recruited to investigate calcaneus bone marrow. The cohort was constituted of four groups according to age, menopausal status, and T-score evaluated after a DXA examination on the femoral neck. Women were classified in young control (n = 11, mean age = 26.5 ± 3.8 y, age range: 22-34 years), perimenopausal groups (n = 11, mean age = 42.0 ± 3.6 y, age range: 37-47 years), postmenopausal group (n = 9, mean age = 55.4 ± 2.9 y, age range: 50-59 years, mean T-score =File | Dimensione | Formato | |
