Abstract:
The degree of mineralization and microstructure are regulated by bone turnover. Bone collagen enzymatic cross-links and advanced glycation end products(AGEs)are affected by various factors such as the levels of oxidative stress and glycation as well as tissue lifespan. Deterioration of bone material properties markedly advances due to increases in oxidative stress, glycation stress, reactive oxygen species, carbonyl stress associated with aging and reduced sex hormone levels, and glucocorticoid use. In this review, we described determinants of bone quality and strength.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
