Osteoporosis is a clinical manifestation of an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation, resulting in weakened bones that easily fracture. How may one design a therapeutic drug targeting specific bone cell type(s) for the treatment of osteoporosis? a. A therapeutic drug that inhibits osteoblast= activity would be useful. A drug that enhances the bone formation activity of osteoclasts may also be a good strategy. b. A therapeutic drug that inhibits osteoclast activity would be useful. One that reduces the activity of osteoblasts may also be a good strategy. c. A therapeutic drug that inhibits osteoblast activity would be useful. One that enhances the bone formation activity of osteoblasts may also be a good strategy. d. A therapeutic drug that inhibits osteoclast activity would be useful. One that enhances the bone formation activity of osteoblasts may also be a good strategy.
If you were a dietician who had a young female patient with a family history of osteoporosis, what foods would you suggest she include in her diet? Why?
