Expressions of IL-6 receptor subunit gp80 and gp130 genes in bone marrow of osteoporotic rat / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Gene expressions of interleukin-6 receptor subunit gp130 and gp80 were investigated by competitive RT-PCR in the rat model of osteoporosis. A significant increase in expressions of gp130 and gp80 was found in bone marrow of osteoporotic rat, this change may be a possible mechanism in osteoporosis due to loss of estrogen.
