Tartarate Resistant Acid Phosphatase as a Marker in Osteoporosis and Bone Malignancy
نویسنده
چکیده
Non prostatic tartarate resistant acid phosphatase(TRACP) is present in bone resorbing osteoclasts. Matrix degradation products together with TRACP are released from the osteoclasts into the blood circulation .Therefore this study is carried out to study TRACP as a marker for osteoporosis and bone malignancy. A total of 75 subjects were included in this study. They were divided into 3 groups. Group I included 25 diagnosed cases of malignant bone tumors between the age group 20 to 70 years of both sexes. Group II included 25 cases of osteoporosis and group III , the control group, included 25 healthy individuals of the same age groups and sexes. TRACP was estimated in the serum of all the subjects. TRACP levels were highly increased in both the osteoporosis and bone malignancy groups (p<0.001) . Therefore TRACP can be considered as a marker for bone resorption in osteoporosis and bone malignancy.

OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to investigate further the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid (ZOL) and propranolol (PRO) as monotherapy and combination therapy in a rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS Female Wistar rats were ovariectomized (OVX) or sham-operated at 3 months of age. Twelve weeks post-surgery, rats were randomized into six groups: (1) sham + vehicle...

Background : Bone resorption can be assessed by measuring plasma tartarate resistant acid phosphatase and urinary excretion of collagen degradation products: Hydroxyproline,Hydroxylysine glycosides,pyridinium crosslinks and associated peptides. We compared the excretion of Hydroxyproline in women of premenopausal age group to those of post menopausal age group and found a significant difference...
متن کاملTartrate-resistant acid phosphatase as a marker of bone resorption.
Tartrate-resistant serum acid phosphatase was measured in 123 subjects, 80 of which were normal and the rest pathologic, in order to define the profile and value of this parameter as a biological marker of osteoclastic activity. Normal subjects were divided into age groups based on the period where skeletal growth ends (under 20 years), at the age of menopause in women (50 years, between 20 and...

OBJECTIVE This study analyzes whether concomitant raloxifene (RLX) or bisphosphonates (BP) plus eldecalcitol (ELD) has excessive suppressive effects on a bone resorption marker during the first 6 months of treatment in postmenopausal women in real-world setting. METHODS 285 postmenopausal osteoporotic patients who had been treated with RLX or BP plus ELD were evaluated the bone resorption mar...

Analyzing biochemical turnover markers will be helpful to predict the bone health status of individuals. The present study aimed at studying the two essential enzymes involved in bone turnover process viz., serum acid phosphatase and serum alkaline phosphatase which are considered as bone resorption and bone formation marker respectively among urban women aged 35 to 74 years. The findings well ...
