Highlights Klotho controls cellular pathways and is a key factor in senescence and longevity. FGF-23 regulates phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism in a Klotho-dependent manner. Bone formation in Klotho-deficient mice decreased similar to that in aged humans. Renal function and lumbar spine bone mineral density were related to Klotho and FGF-23, respectively. ABSTRACT Objective: To investigating the relationship between α-Klotho and FGF-23 with bone biochemical markers and bone density findings in extremely aged individuals. Methods: A total of 55 individuals […]

Objective To analyze the variations in the angle basal sphenoid skulls of adult humans and their relationship to sex, age, ethnicity and cranial index. Methods The angles were measured in 160 skulls belonging to the Museum of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo Department of Morphology. We use two flexible rules and a goniometer, having as reference points for the first rule the posterior end of the ethmoidal crest and dorsum of the sella turcica, and for the second rule […]
