Meanings of bmp activity in English

Objective: To determine whether hyperglycemia in vitro and diabetes in vivo promote vascular BMP activity and correlate with vascular calcification.

BMP activities in bone are mediated through binding to specific cell surface receptors and through interactions with other growth factors.

Conclusions: Hyperglycemia and diabetes activate vascular BMP activity, which is instrumental in promoting vascular calcification and may be limited by increasing BMP inhibition.
