Myostatin and irisin levels in postmenopausal women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at two proteins in the blood, myostatin and irisin, which may be linked to bone strength and muscle strength in women after menopause. It aims to see if these proteins can help predict bone health and muscle function, which could lead to better ways to prevent fractures and falls.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how bone strength (osteoporosis) and muscle mass (sarcopenia) are related in women who have passed menopause and are younger than 60. It aims to help understand and compare bone and muscle health in women with and without osteoporosis.
This study tests two injectable medications (romosozumab and abaloparatide) that help strengthen bones in women after menopause. Researchers will also look at blood markers to understand why some women respond better to treatment than others.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work and how strong your muscles are, in women after menopause with osteoporosis. You may be asked to start standard osteoporosis treatment, and the researchers will study pain and changes related to vascular function and sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength).
This study looks at how signals from muscles affect bone health in women of different ages. It aims to understand why bone density changes over time.
This trial looks at bone health in women who have gone through menopause. It may help researchers understand more about osteoporosis (bone thinning) and how to treat it. You might be a fit if you are a postmenopausal woman aged 50-75 and have had a bone density scan at Kayseri City Hospital.
This study looks at how bone health and muscle strength (“osteosarcopenia” — loss of both bone and muscle) change after a hip fracture in older adults. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better support recovery after hip surgery.
