[Increased bone resorption by sympathetic nervous activity].
Recent experimental studies showed the dynamic neural regulation of local bone metabolism. Increased sympathetic nervous activity has been demonstrated to cause bone loss via an increase in bone resorption and a decrease in bone formation. This review summarized both in vivo and in vitro evidences implicating sympathetic neuron action in bone resorption.
