Abstract
Stimulation of PPARγ turns mesenchymal stem cells into adipocytes instead of osteoblasts. We investigated the effect of polymorphisms in the PPARγ gene on BMD and fracture risk in two Danish cohorts and found opposing effects of certain SNPs and haplotypes in the two cohorts probably owing to environmental factors.
