Genetic susceptibility of postmenopausal osteoporosis on sulfide quinone reductase-like gene

Genetic susceptibility of postmenopausal osteoporosis on sulfide quinone reductase-like gene Summary Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a major health problem with important genetic factors in postmenopausal women.

Introduction Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a metabolic bone disease leading to progressive bone loss and the deterioration of the bone microarchitecture. The sulfide-quinone reductase-like protein is an important enzyme regulating the cellular hydrogen sulfide levels, and it can regulate bone metabolism balance in postmenopausal women.
