TY - JOUR T1 - Glutamatergic System in Bone Physiology JF - In Vivo JO - In Vivo SP - 621 LP - 628 VL - 18 IS - 5 AU - NIKI KALARITI AU - MICHAEL KOUTSILIERIS Y1 - 2004/09/01 UR - http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/18/5/621.abstract N2 - Bone is a highly innervated tissue consisting of nerve fibers, which contain many neurotransmitters including glutamate. Recently, a number of studies have identified functional glutamate receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, implying that the glutamatergic system has an apparent regulatory role in bone physiology. This review outlines the evidence which suggest that the glutamatergic system regulates bone physiology. Copyright © 2004 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.
