I wrote a thesis about the effects of androgens and mechanical loading on periosteal osteoblasts and the resulting osteogenic gene expression.
If you have an understanding of this topic I would like to send you my entire thesis (it’s about 10 pages including diagrams and images so it’s not really 10 pages long). I would be happy if someone with substantial knowledge could read it and tell me if it’s mechanisticaly and theoretically correct.
Here a short summary
mechanical stimulation (percussive/vibratory) induces osteocyte-mediated Wnt pathway activation, recruiting periosteal osteoblasts. Locally elevated blood flow increases androgen delivery to the periosteum, where testosterone undergoes 5α-reduction to DHT. DHT binds the androgen receptor with high affinity and slow dissociation (~6–8h), sustaining transcription of osteogenic markers (Runx2, Collagen I, OPG, Osteocalcin) for 24–48h. Supraphysiological androgen levels combined with IGF-1 (via exogenous HGH) act synergistically on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, resulting in net periosteal bone apposition.
Just write in the comments and I’ll send it to you
