Evidence of estrogen receptors in normal human osteoblast-like cells

TL;DR: The data suggest that estrogen acts directly on human bone cells through a classical estrogen receptor-mediated mechanism, indicating an induction of functional progesterone receptors.

Changes in Skeletal Integrity and Marrow Adiposity during High-Fat Diet and after Weight Loss.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HFD causes long-term, persistent changes in bone quality, despite prevention of marrow adipose tissue accumulation, as demonstrated through changes inBone morphology and mechanical strength in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity and weight loss.

Associations Between Body Composition and Bone Health in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: Most of the studies indicated that the increase in bone parameters seen in overweight and obese children and adolescents is due to an increase in LM and not to greater FM, and the results on the association between body fat and bone parameters were contradictory and depended on children’s age and sex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity and bone metabolism.

TL;DR: The majority of studies indicate that obesity has a positive effect on skeletal strength, even though most likely the effects are site-dependent and, in fact, obese individuals might be at risk of certain types of fractures.

Exercise prevents high fat diet-induced bone loss, marrow adiposity and dysbiosis in male mice

TL;DR: Exercise induced changes in microbiota composition could represent a novel mechanism that contributes to exercise induced benefits to bone health.
