Correlations between bone turnover markers, serum magnesium and bone mass density in postmenopausal osteoporosis

Serum Leptin and Bone Turnover Markers in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Serum Sema4D levels are associated with lumbar spine bone mineral density and bone turnover markers in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

To investigate the association of serum semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) levels with lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PO). Lumbar spine BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 257 PO patients (aged from 50 to 75) and 90 healthy controls (aged from 51 to 83). Serum Sema4D, BAP, BGP and TRACP-5b levels were measu...

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...

Effect of Denosumab on Bone Mineral Density and Markers of Bone Turnover among Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of denosumab (Dmab) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers after 1 year of treatment. Additionally, the effect of Dmab in bisphosphonate-naïve patients (BP-naïve) compared to patients previously treated with bisphosphonates (BP-prior) was analyzed. This retrospective study included 425 postmenopausal women treated with Dmab for 1...

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...
