The negative impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on bone in a mouse model.

H Yu | H Watt | S Mohan
Brain injury | 2014

While it is well established that the brain produces hypothalamic hormones and neuropeptides that influence skeletal metabolism, the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on bone is unknown. Based on the recognition from clinical studies that there is an association between TBI and long-term hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction, it was hypothesized that TBI exerts a negative impact on skeletal growth and maintenance.
