Bone Turnover Markers Relations to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Serum Leptin and Bone Turnover Markers in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and bone turnover markers in Palestinian postmenopausal osteoporosis and normal women

This study evaluated the association of vitamin D and bone markers with the development osteoporosis in Palestinian postmenopausal women. Even though vitamin D deficiency was very high for the recruited subjects, it was not associated with osteoporosis except for bones of the hip. Age and obesity were the strongest determining factors of the disease. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to i...

Endotoxin and bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) also known as endotoxin, which represents the outer cell wall membrane of gram-negative bacteria has been implicated as the major bacterial bone-resorbing factor. Recently, the most prevalent form of clinically significant osteopenia and osteoporosis involves periodontitis and otitis media by gram-negative bacteria. The aim of the study is to evaluate circulat...

New automated multiplex assay for bone turnover markers in osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND Serum C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (PINP), and osteocalcin (OC) are among the most sensitive bone turnover markers for evaluating osteoporosis. Each marker is currently measured individually by manual or automated immunoassays that are time consuming and require substantial sample volume. We evaluated the per...
