If a patient with osteoporosis begins resistance training, which consequence follows regarding bone remodeling?

💡 Explanation

Resistance training applies mechanical stress to bone, because mechanotransduction stimulates osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone deposition. Therefore, bone density increases due to enhanced bone remodeling, rather than remaining static or decreasing as in osteoporosis alone.

• If a child with chronic kidney disease doesn't receive sufficient vitamin D supplementation, which consequence is most likely related to renal osteodystrophy?
• A patient with a genetic mutation has decreased Factor XIII production. If this patient sustains a deep wound, which coagulation outcome is most likely?
• If a patient undergoes chemotherapy that causes severe aplastic anemia, why will a blood test taken several weeks later show abnormally low reticulocyte counts?
• A patient exhibits a ventilation-perfusion ratio (V/Q) mismatch in the lungs following pulmonary thromboembolism; which compensatory mechanism is triggered to minimize hypoxemia?
• Following a pulmonary infection, why does alveolar inflammation resolve, rather than progressing into chronic fibrosis?
• If a researcher introduces antibodies that bind and neutralize a specific cytokine, such as TNF-alpha, during a chronic inflammatory response in a rheumatoid arthritis model, which consequence follows?
