Lactation and Bone Turnover: A Conundrum of Marked Bone Loss in the Setting of Coupled Bone Turnover

role of soy protein on bone turnover

bone mass loss is one of the commonest menopause symptoms, resulting from cessation of estrogen production. compounds which have estrogen – like biological activity similar to “isoflavones” present in plants especially soy, may reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women, because as they are similar in structure to estrogens. this study, therefore, was undertaken to assess the effect of soy protei...

Bone turnover markers.

Bones are constantly remodelled to cope with the body's calcium requirements and to repair microscopic damage. The entire skeleton is replaced every 10 years in adults, and around 10% of the skeleton is involved in bone remodelling at any one time.

changes in cytokines, biomarkers of bone turnover and hormones are associated with bone loss in postmenopausal indian women

Circulating markers of bone turnover

Renal osteodystrophy is a feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with increasing prevalence as CKD progresses. This bone disease is responsible for major morbidity, including fractures, and a deterioration in the quality of life and its sequelae. Circulating biomarkers of renal osteodystrophy typically indicate bone turnover, but not other features of bone, like bone volume, mineralization, q...

Bone turnover and inhaled corticosteroids.

Bone turnover and inhaled corticosteroids We wish to take issue with several statements made by Kerstjens et al in their recent paper (July 1994;49:652-6). We believe that their conclusion that there is no clear evidence of a detrimental effect of inhaled corticosteroids on bone metabolism is unsubstantiated by the results of their study. They were able to demonstrate a significant fall in oste...
