Abstract

Bone homeostasis is maintained by bone formation and bone resorption. The identification that nervous system controls bone metabolism through leptin deficient mice studies opened a new field in bone biology. Notably, sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve system regulate bone metabolism. In addition, sensory nerve system also has been shown to be involved in the regulation of bone homeostasis. On the other hand, recent studies reported that bone derived hormones, such as osteocalcin or fibroblast growth factor 23, regulate systemic metabolism. Based on these findings, currently the bone-organ crosstalk has been noted.
