Does lower leg muscle mass relate to knee pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis?
DEXA-measured leg muscle mass was significantly associated with knee pain in people with radiographic knee OA. Low leg muscle mass is a useful clinical indicator for symptomatic knee OA, and DEXA is potentially an excellent tool to quickly assess leg mass in patients with knee OA.
Re-endothelialization of arterial injuries is reduced in hypercholesterolemic mice and is inversely correlated with oxidative stress. An oral antioxidant decreases oxidative stress and improves EC healing.
