Researchers at UCSF and UC Davis discovered a hormone, named Maternal Brain Hormone (CCN3), which maintains bone strength in breastfeeding women despite calcium loss. This hormone could potentially treat osteoporosis and aid in healing fractures across different demographics. The study emphasizes the importance of including female subjects in biomedical research to uncover gender-specific biological processes. UCSF and UC Davis researchers identified a new hormone, CCN3, that strengthens bones in breastfeeding women and could treat osteoporosis and enhance fracture healing. Researchers from UCSF and UC Davis have resolved a longstanding mystery about how breastfeeding women maintain strong bones despite losing calcium...
