Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D and Estrogen Receptor Allelic Variants in Italian Postmenopausal Women: Evidence of Multiple Gene Contribution to Bone Mineral Density
Luigi Gennari,L. Becherini,Laura Masi,R Mansani,Stefano Gonnelli,Chiara Cepollaro,S Martini,Andrea Montagnani,Giuseppe Lentini,A. Becorpi,Maria Luisa Brandi +10 more
TL;DR: The introduction of another variable, the ER genotype, in the analysis of VDR genetic determination of BMD, may represent a useful model in the identification of patients at risk of developing a multigenic disorder like osteoporosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endometrial evaluation with transvaginal ultrasound during hormone therapy: a prospective multicenter study.
Umberto Omodei,Enrico Ferrazzi,Francesca Ramazzotto,A. Becorpi,E. Grimaldi,Gianfranco Scarselli,Daniele Spagnolo,Luigi Spagnolo,Walter Torri +8 more
TL;DR: Sonographic endometrial thickness of 4.5 mm provides a sensitive tool to select HT patients who might benefit from hysteroscopy and biopsy and is not a sensitive sign of hyperplasia in patients with thick endometrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of early postmenopausal bone loss with cyclical etidronate
S. Adami,Vincenzina Bruni,D. Bianchini,A. Becorpi,P. Lombardi,C. Campagnoli,Andrea Ferrari,T. Marchesoni,R. Balena +8 more
TL;DR: The conclusion was that cyclical etidronate therapy provides a safe and effective therapeutic option for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women who are unwilling or unable to tolerate hormone replacement therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of immuno- and HPLC-assays for the measurement of urinary collagen cross-links
E. Calabresi,Laura Lasagni,Francesco Franceschelli,V. de Leonardis,A. Becorpi,Mario Serio,Maria Luisa Brandi +6 more
TL;DR: The immunoassay proposed for the determination of urinary collagen cross-links is not immediately applicable to clinical use and the improvement of the antibody specificity will probably contribute to replace the HPLC method with the immunoASSay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natriuretic hormone receptors and actions on bone endothelial cells
M. L. De Feo,Francesco Franceschelli,U. Frediani,C. Tosti-Guerra,Clara Crescioli,Annalisa Tanini,O Bartolini,A. Becorpi,Mario Serio,M. L. Brandi +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bone endothelial cells bear receptors for natriuretic hormones associated with changes in PTH-induced cAMP production, prostaglandin production, and cell proliferation.
