Using agents that suppress bone remodeling to treat or prevent joint disease: quo vadis?

Actual. osteol; 12 (3), 2016
Treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) with antiremodeling agents has had a mixed record of results. It is likely that remodeling suppression is only effective when used in the early phases of OA, before significant progression. Animal and human studies largely bear this out. Treatment of young mice with a RAN...

Raloxifene neutralizes bone brittleness induced by anti-remodeling treatment and increases fatigue life through non-cell mediated mechanisms

Actual. osteol; 12 (3), 2016
Pre-clinical data have shown that tissue level effects stemming from bisphosphonateinduced suppression of bone remodeling can result in bone that is stronger yet more brittle. Raloxifene has been shown to reduce bone brittleness through non-cellular mechanisms. The goal of this work was to test the hypot...

Effect of raloxifene on alveolar bone resorption after mucoperiosteal fl ap surgery in mice

Stomatos; 21 (41), 2015
Background: Mucoperiosteal fl ap surgeries (MFS) are carried out to provide access to the alveolar bone and root surfaces in several clinical situations. Nevertheless, they lead to a variable degree of alveolar bone resorption. Raloxifene is an agonist in bone, and acts inhibiting bone loss. Objective: T...

Enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water soluble raloxifene using microwave induced fusion method

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 49 (3), 2013
The objective of the present work was to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of the drug raloxifene HCl (RLX), which is poorly soluble in water. The solubility of RLX was observed to increase with increasing concentration of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC E5 LV). The optimized ratio for prep...

Actualización sobre prevención del cáncer de mama

The combined results from the four tamoxifen prevention trials showed a 38% reduction in breast cancer incidence. The largest risk-reduction trial, the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial conducted by the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project, revealed that tamoxifen reduced the risk of invasive...

Tamoxifeno e raloxifeno: papel na quimioprevenção do câncer de mama
Tamoxifen and raloxifene: their role in chemoprevention for breast cancer

Femina; 34 (2), 2006
O Câncer de mama é a neoplasia de maior incidência na mulher brasileira, e já dispomos de meios para sua prevenção primária. A quimioprevenção agora é uma possibilidade real para mulheres consideradas de alto risco, de redução no risco para desenvolver câncer de mama. Os moduladores seletivo...

Efeitos do raloxifeno sobre a concentração plasmática de homocisteína e o lipidograma em mulheres na pós-menopausa
Effects of raloxifene on plasma homocysteine concentration and lipid profile in postmenopausal women

OBJETIVOS: avaliar os efeitos do raloxifeno sobre a concentração plasmática de homocisteína e o perfil lipídico em mulheres na pós-menopausa. MÉTODOS: foram estudadas 24 mulheres saudáveis na pós-menopausa, com idade entre 50 e 70 anos e diagnóstico de osteopenia e/ou osteoporose, submetidas à...

Ovariectomia profilática em câncer de mama
Prophylactic oophorectomy in breast cancer

Femina; 31 (9), 2003
A Profilaxia ou prevenção primária do câncer de mama seria indicada em condições onde o risco de adquirir a doença seja importante, por exemplo quando de antecedentes familiares com BRCA1 e BRCA2 alterados. A revisão da literatura demonstra que a ovariectomia reduz a chance de mulheres portarem a...
