Abstract:
Recent researches have revealed that iron-overload could lead to osteoporosis and bone morphogenetic protein 6(BMP-6)could enhance the expression of hepcidin. Therefore, it is believed that BMP-6 might play a key role in the treatment of such kind of osteoporosis. This paper focuses on the newest papers regarding the relationship between BMP-6 and iron-overload osteoporosis in order to lay a foundation for further research on the osteoporosis induced by iron overloading.
