Bone Biochemical Marker

New biochemical marker for bone disease: is it a breakthrough?

Bone biochemical marker response to a plyometric exercise session with and without blood flow restriction in inactive adolescent females

Background and Aims: Physical activity and blood flow restriction (BFR) training can affect bone metabolism. This study  aimed to investigate the effect of a plyometric exercise session with and without blood flow restriction on bone metabolism markers, such as bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1collagen (CTX), as the markers of bone formation and destruction, ...

Urinary deoxypyridinoline is a useful biochemical bone marker for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Most medical treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis are inhibitors of bone resorption and urinary deoxypyridinoline (D-Pyr) has been shown to be a reliable indicator of bone resorption. Fifty-one healthy women were divided into four groups. Group A: premenopausal women (n = 10), Group B: postmenopausal women, no osteoporosis, not on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) (n = 14), Group C: postmen...

A Biochemical Marker in Epidermal Differentiation

Unusual protein containing a high level of histidine and eight other amino acids (i.e. glycine, alanine, serine, threonine, arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and tyrosine) is localized in the epidermal granular cell layer of the newborn rat. I t appears that the formation of "histidine-protein" is a step in the sequence of epidermal differentiation terminating in keratinization. This paper...

Is pH a biochemical marker of IQ?

We have measured intracellular brain pH in vivo in 42 boys and found a significant correlation between this biochemical parameter and samples of intelligent behaviour. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported relation between a biochemical marker which is within normal physiological values and intellectual ability. pH is one of the most accurate parameters that can be measured by...
