*Manolagas in 2010, suggested that main pathogenesis of osteoporosis shift from estrogen-based theory to age-related issue; consist of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as it main role. He mentioned that loss of estrogen and androgen in body would make bone tissue more vulnerable to ROS; make the osteocytes prone to deterioration.

===Gross Pathology===
* When ROS become elevated in bone tissue, several factors would be increased include: T and B lymphocytes, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB), and also osteoclastogenic cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-7, and receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL)).

* The three main mechanisms by which osteoporosis develops are:
** An inadequate ''peak bone mass'' in which the skeleton does not develop sufficient levels of bone mass and strength during growth
** Excessive bone resorption and breakdown by osteoclasts
** Inadequate formation of new bone by osteoblasts


An interplay of these three mechanisms underlie the development of fragile bone tissue.<ref name="Raisz" />  
* RANKL is thought to be the most important factor need for forming osteoclasts; however, Xiong has challenged the old assumption and found that osteoblast and its progenitor cells are not the main source of RANKL, essential for osteoclast formation and remodeling in adult bones. The main role of matrix resorption belongs to the cells embedded in itself.<ref name="pmid21909103">{{cite journal |vauthors=Xiong J, Onal M, Jilka RL, Weinstein RS, Manolagas SC, O'Brien CA |title=Matrix-embedded cells control osteoclast formation |journal=Nat.

* Hormonal factors strongly determine the rate of bone resorption.  Lack of [[estrogen]], such as during menopause, increases bone resorption, while also decreasing the deposition of new bone that normally occurs in weight bearing bones. The amount of estrogen needed to suppress this process is lower that than the amount normally needed to stimulate the [[uterus]] and [[mammary gland|breast gland]]. The α-form of the[[estrogen receptor]] appears to be the most important in regulating bone turnover.<ref name="Raisz" />  
* Autophagy is the mechanism, through which osteocytes use to run away from oxidative stresses. The capability of autophagy in cells decrease as they aged; or it better to say it is one of the reasons of aging, indeed. As the osteocytes grow, they lose their ability more; make the bone holes bigger and bone mass lower.<ref name="pmid23645674">{{cite journal |vauthors=Onal M, Piemontese M, Xiong J, Wang Y, Han L, Ye S, Komatsu M, Selig M, Weinstein RS, Zhao H, Jilka RL, Almeida M, Manolagas SC, O'Brien CA |title=Suppression of autophagy in osteocytes mimics skeletal aging |journal=J.

[[Osteoprotegerin]] (OPG) binds RANKL before it has an opportunity to bind to RANK, and hence suppresses its ability to increase bone resorption.

===Microscopic pathology===
* [[Trabecular bone]] is the sponge-like bone in the center of long bones and vertebrae. [[Cortical bone]] is the hard outer shell of bones. Trabecular bone is more active and more subject to bone turnover and to remodeling than cortical bone.
* In [[osteoporosis]] not only is the bone density decreased, but the microarchitecture of bone is disrupted.
* In osteoporosis, the weaker spicules of trabecular bone break ("microcracks"), and are replaced by weak bone. Common osteoporotic fracture sites such as the wrist, the hip, and the spine, have a relatively high trabecular bone to cortical bone ratio.  These areas rely on trabecular bone for strength, and therefore the intense remodeling causes these areas to degenerate most when the remodeling is imbalanced.  This is why fractures most commonly occur at these sites.

Overview

The pathophysiology of osteoporosis involves an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. Factors that contribute to the development of osteoporosis include advanced age, female sex and hypogonadism.

Pathophysiology

  • In normal bone, there is constant remodeling of bone matrix; up to 10% of all bone mass may be undergoing remodeling at any point in time. The process takes place in bone multicellular units (BMUs) as first described by Frost in 1963. Osteoporosis is a disease could involve all bones of human body; majorly defined as mass loss and also microarchitechtural deterioration in bones. The final destination in osteoporosis is fracture, causing by the predefined mechanisms.[1][2]
  • The main mechanism, through which bone mass would be lost, is activation of osteoclastogenic pathway; there are two main cells involved, include: osteoblasts, and asteoclasts. Bone is reabsorbed by osteoclasts, after which new bone is deposited by osteoblasts.The main predictor of final result, rearrangement or loss of bone tissue, are osteoclasts.[2][3]
  • Normal balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts activities, resulted from tissue microenvironment (i.e., affected by macrophages and innate adaptive immunity), may lead to functional bone homeostasis; finally, forming normal bone. Whenever, the balance and its' predictor factors become distrbed, it may lead to increasing the osteoclastic activity compare with osteobalstic activity; deterioration move above construction, and bone mass loss is happened.[2]
  • Manolagas in 2010, suggested that main pathogenesis of osteoporosis shift from estrogen-based theory to age-related issue; consist of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as it main role. He mentioned that loss of estrogen and androgen in body would make bone tissue more vulnerable to ROS; make the osteocytes prone to deterioration.[4]
  • When ROS become elevated in bone tissue, several factors would be increased include: T and B lymphocytes, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB), and also osteoclastogenic cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-7, and receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL)). On the other hand, androgen may decrease all of them.[5]
  • RANKL is thought to be the most important factor need for forming osteoclasts; however, Xiong has challenged the old assumption and found that osteoblast and its progenitor cells are not the main source of RANKL, essential for osteoclast formation and remodeling in adult bones. The main role of matrix resorption belongs to the cells embedded in itself.[6]
  • Autophagy is the mechanism, through which osteocytes use to run away from oxidative stresses. The capability of autophagy in cells decrease as they aged; or it better to say it is one of the reasons of aging, indeed. As the osteocytes grow, they lose their ability more; make the bone holes bigger and bone mass lower.[7]
  • The role of calcitonin, a hormone generated by the thyroid that increases bone deposition, is less clear and probably less significant.[3]
  • Osteoprotegerin (OPG) binds RANKL before it has an opportunity to bind to RANK, hence, suppresses its ability to increase bone resorption. RANKL, RANK and OPG are closely related to tumor necrosis factor and its receptors. The role of the wnt signalling pathway is recognized but less well understood.
