How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

  2. Hyperbaric oxygen increased osteoblastic activity in irradiated distracted bone and shifted the osteogenic pattern towards that of non-irradiated bone, though not to the level of non-irradiated bone.
