Bone turnover markers and prediction of bone loss in elderly women
… of individuals who are at high risk. Biochemical markers of bone turnover (BTMs) have shown some degree of fracture predictability. There is also a correlation between rate of decrease of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and incident fractures. In this study, the correlation between BTMs and rate …

Are Bone Turnover Markers and Vitamin D levels associated with Frequency of Complete Denture Relines?
… of complete denture relines in terms of their bone turnover markers; C-terminal Telopeptide (C-Tx), Osteocalcin (OCN) and Vitamin D (25 OH-Vit D) levels to determine the presence of and the degree of association between them.</p> <p>METHODS: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study …

Rarity of kidney stones in South Africa's black population : studies of urinary macromolecules, crystal matrix extract containing osteopontin, and bone turnover markers in urine and serum from black and white subjects as a key to understanding this paradox
… of CaOx stone formation and for their effects on bone turnover markers in urine and in serum. For the biochemical isolation of crystal matrix extract, COD-CME was precipitated in urine from both black and white subjects. The proteins included in COD-CME were detected using sodium dodecyl sulfate …

Aerobic Exercise and Bone Turnover in Trained and Untrained Premenopausal Women
… recommended for healthy young adults to optimize bone mineral density (BMD) (Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee, 2008). BMD alone however, is not a significant predictor of osteoporosis or fracture risk. While bone turnover markers are used clinically to assess efficacy of …

Menopause and cardiovascular, metabolic and bone parameters
… risk variables, glucose and insulin levels and bone turnover markers. It was hypothesised that these interventions would independentiy improve parameters measured, whilst combined treatment would provide further benefit.

Melatonin-micronutrients Osteopenia Treatment Study (MOTS): A translational study assessing the effects of melatonin, strontium citrate, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 on bone density, bone turnover markers and health-related quality of life in postmenopausal osteopenic women following a one-year double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial and on osteoblast-osteoclast co-cultures
… combination of melatonin and three other natural bone-aiding micronutrients: strontium citrate, vitamins D<sub>3</sub> and K<sub>2</sub> (MSDK) could improve bone health by modulating the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in favor of balanced bone remodeling and by improving the overall …

Long COVID related inflammatory processes. What is its impact on bone, joints and musculoskeletal microvascular haemodynamics?
… low-grade inflammation in LC could affect bone metabolism, joint health, and skeletal muscle microcirculation, but there is no or limited evidence relating to this. Aim: This study aims to determine the influence of LC on MSK function, encompassing bone health, body composition, joint …

Daily Nocturnal Melatonin Supplementation in Perimenopausal Women: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study Examining the Effects of Melatonin on Bone Health and Quality of Life
… supplementation on primary endpoints of bone health and secondary endpoints of quality of life in perimenopausal women. </p><p> Methods: A total of 18 perimenopausal women were randomized to receive melatonin, 3 mg p.o., (n=13) or placebo (n=5) nightly for six months. Bone density was …

Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Vegetarians and Omnivores
… were used to determine whether biochemical markers of bone turnover, resorption and formation, differed in a group of 50 healthy premenopausal Caucasian women eating vegan, lactoovovegetarian(LOV) and omnivorous diets.</p> <p>The women, ages 20-42, had participated in a study of bone mineral …

PTH RESISTANCE SYNDROMES: AGE-DEPENDENT CLINICAL PICTURE AND EMERGING UNCOMMON FEATURES
… This study attempts to define the extent of bone responsiveness to elevated PTH levels, through the analysis of bone turnover markers, bone mineral density and fractures’ prevalence. Most of our patients had received a molecular diagnosis. RESULTS: • Study A: the first cohort was made up of …

HIV, Antiretroviral Therapy, Pregnancy, Lactation and Bone Health in Uganda
… is associated with a 2-6% decrease in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) regardless of ART regimen, but data are limited in pregnant and lactating women. Tenofovir, a preferred first-line drug in Option B+ ART regimen, is associated with 1-2% greater decreases in aBMD. Pregnancy and lactation …
