Body Clock Controls Bone Breakdown” Surrey Study Links Night Shifts to Fracture Risk

Scientists have discovered that how our bodies break down bone is linked to our internal body clock, while bone formation isn’t affected by these daily rhythms. This finding could change how we think about bone health and conditions like osteoporosis. Researchers from the University of Surrey and University of Sheffield studied 22 young adults by taking blood samples every two hours over a 26-hour period. They measured two important markers: one that signals bone formation (sPINP) and another that indicates bone breakdown (sCTX). “This study has established a clear link between circadian rhythms and bone resorption, which is a key … Continue reading Body Clock Controls Bone Breakdown” Surrey Study Links Night Shifts to Fracture Risk
