Fat of the bone: Exercise, diabetes affect amount of fat inside bones
– Reported, June 26, 2014
A new kind of imaging technique shows how exercise and diabetes drugs affect the amount of fat inside our bones, which could play roles in the health of our bones.
Our bones are not stagnant, rock-like things. They change. Marrow — the tissue inside bones — is full of various kinds of cells. And marrow is also full of fat. The amounts of these cells and fats can decrease or increase over time. And the production of these marrow cells and fat depend on a specific type of progenitor cell called a mesenchymal stem cell.
