Definitions and meanings of "Resorption"

What do we mean by resorption?

The act or process of resorbing. noun

In petrography, the melting of a phenocryst in a porphyritic rock and its recrystallization in situ as other minerals. This results in the formation of a resorption border in many cases about the more or less resorbed phenocryst, as when hornblende is surrounded by a black border composed of pyroxene and magnetite. noun

Retrogressive absorption; specifically, a physiological process by which a part or organ, having advanced to a certain state of development, disappears as such by the absorption of its substance into that of a part or organ which replaces it. noun

Absorption of some product of the organism, as a tissue, exudate, or secretion. noun

The act of resorbing; also, the act of absorbing again; reabsorption. noun

The redissolving wholly or in part, in the molten magma of an igneous rock, of crystals previously formed. The dissolved material may again solidify, giving rise to a mass of small crystals, usually of a different kind. noun

The act of resorbing noun

The loss and reassimilation of bone (or other) material noun

The organic process in which the substance of some differentiated structure that has been produced by the body undergoes lysis and assimilation noun

The act of resorbing.

The redissolving, wholly or in part, in the molten magma of an igneous rock, of crystals previously formed.

The loss and reassimilation of bone (or other) material.

(vasopressin) stimulates the transport of AQP2 to cell membranes in the tube walls and hence increases the water resorption from the urine. ❋ Unknown (2003)

Ovariectomized animals show increased bone resorption, which is prevented by the administration of either estrogen or catalase. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Columbia University Medical Center, the researchers found that the destruction of old bone during normal skeletal regrowth - a process known as resorption - is necessary to maintain a healthy level of glucose in the blood. ❋ Unknown (2010)

However, its function (s) in osteoclasts, cells that slowly breakdown bone (a process known as resorption), has not been determined. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Nitroglycerin also improved bone formation markers by 35% over the two years and decreased bone resorption, or bone breakdown, by 54%. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)

For example, how does bone formation and resorption become decoupled in space, what is the molecular basis for muscle loss, through what processes do highly energetic particles cause damage to the body etc. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This can be defined morphologically, but mutant mice studies show that small genetic changes can affect the timing of resorption and ossification of the bones involved. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Also, we know that small changes to developmental genes control the resorption and ossification of the bones involved. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Researchers said it's not clear why nitroglycerin stimulates bone formation but it appears to affect bone growth and resorption independently. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)

The most rapid rates of bone loss in women occur during the first five years after menopause, when the decrease in the production of estrogen results in increased bone resorption and decreased calcium absorption. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

A recent in vitro study suggests that osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption, increase their activity in response to elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines as a result of increased oxidative stress. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

I repeat: green foods are rich sources of bioavailable minerals that play a role in the prevention of bone resorption and in stimulating healthy bone remineralization. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Of course, in order for antioxidants to help prevent bone resorption, the intake of adequate amounts of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, boron, silica, and omega-3s, as well as vitamins D and K2, is also needed—more about this in chapter 5. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Although drugs called bisphosphonates can slow down the body's resorption of older, brittle bone and reduce the risk of fractures in high-risk people by 30 to 40 percent, little is known about their use beyond 10 years. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Increasing the levels of intracellular antioxidants in women during menopause and the postmenopausal years may help decrease bone resorption by neutralizing hydrogen peroxide. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Since there is a dramatic decrease in the production of estrogen by the ovaries during menopause along with an accelerated increase in bone resorption by the body, followed by a period of more gradual bone loss during the postmenopausal years, it would seem advisable to increase the intake of antioxidant-rich foods and supplements during menopause. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)

Mechanisms to compensate for low nutrient availability include the conservation of nutrients in nutrient-poor tissues, resorption of nutrients from senescing tissues, enhanced rates of nutrient uptake at low temperatures, increased biomass of roots relative to shoots, associations with mycorrhizal fungi, uptake of nutrients in organic forms, and uptake of nitrogen by rhizomes. ❋ Unknown (2009)
