The role of boron alone or in combination with estrogen or PTH in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats
… and trabecular plate density, and increases in serum osteocalcin, and trabecular plate separation. However, intermittent PTH injection increased the dried bone weight to body weight ratio, wall thickness of the femur, total bone ash, bone ash to dried bone or body weight ratio, bone Ca, P, and …

Dietary calcium and cation-anion difference influences calcium status and bone remodeling in exercising and sedentary Arabian horses
… collected while horses were at rest every 21 d. Serum and plasma were analyzed for total and ionized Ca, P, Mg, Cl, total protein, albumin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin, and hydroxyproline. Radiographs of the left third metacarpal bone were taken. An aluminum step wedge exposed …

Effect of a Low-Carbohydrate, High-Protein Diet on Bone Mineral Density, Biomarkers of Bone Turnover, and Calcium Metabolism in Healthy Pre-Menopausal Females
… were conducted at weeks 0, 1-4, 6, and 12. Serum osteocalcin was analyzed at weeks 0, 1, 2, 6, and 12, while urinary NTx was analyzed at weeks 0, 1 and 2. Weight loss was significant at the end of 12 weeks in both diet groups (P < 0.05) but there was no Diet x Time interaction. Total …

The natural history of post-traumatic algodystrophy.
… and decrease in bone formation as measured by serum osteocalcin. The mechanism causing these skeletal changes and their implications are discussed. Treatment with nasal calcitonin did not alter the natural history of the disorder. This study has shown that post-traumatic algodystrophy is more …

Bone Mineral Density and Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Young-Adult Females with and without Cognitive Eating Restraint
… were found. Overall, despite finding a lower serum osteocalcin concentration in the high CER group at baseline, evidence of compromised BMC or BMD between women with high versus low CER scores over 6 months was not found.

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
… 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 polyacryalamide gel electrophoresis …

A mechanistic examination of the metabolic regulation of insulin resistance, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis
… administration resulted in decreased serum n-telopeptide (NTX) and serum osteocalcin (OC) in TE. Continuous testosterone treatment results in a decrease in both bone resorption and bone formation in older men.

Bone mineral density, bone remodeling, insulin-like growth factors, hormone replacement therapy, and exercise training in postmenopausal women
… exercise on BMD, bone formation, measured by serum osteocalcin (OC) and bone resorption, measured by urinary excretion of deoxypyridinoline crosslinks (Dpd), in 2 groups of postmenopausal women who were either taking or not taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Secondary aims were to …

Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Vegetarians and Omnivores
<p>A cross-sectional study on fasting serum and 24-hour urine samples 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 …

Skeletal Status and Bone Turnover in Overweight Young Men with and without Sleep Apnea Syndrome
… measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum osteocalcin, leptin, IGF-1, and NTx-1 were measured, respectively, by radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. RESULTS: Fat-free mass, intra-abdominal fat, and fat mass were higher in the SAS and OWT groups (p<0.03). ESS …

Digestibility of calcium and phosphorus and effects of microbial phytase in diets fed to growing pigs or gestating sows
… ATTD and retention of Ca and P, blood Ca and P, serum concentrations of hormones, and blood biomarker for bone synthesis and resorption. Sows in late-gestation were fed one of 4 experimental diets containing 25, 50, 75, or 100% of the requirement for Ca with a constant level of P. Results …

Dietary Intake and Bone Mineral Density in Young-Adult Females
The late second and early third decades of life are critical periods for bone health due to the attainment of peak bone mass during this time, yet little is known about relationships between lifestyle factors and bone health among young-adult females. Therefore, anthropometric, body composition, …
