The cause of bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis--decreased bone formation or increased bone resorption--is controversial. Synthesis of bone--Gla protein (BGP), a specific osteoblast product, is stimulated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D] in vitro. Thus, increases in serum BGP levels during 1,25(OH)2D administration might provide a useful dynamic index of osteoblast function. We compared 14 postmenopausal osteoporotic women with 12 age-matched postmenopausal normal women before and during 6 d of 1,25(OH)2D administration (2.0 micrograms/d). Serum BGP levels were similar at baseline and increased during treatment in both groups (P less than 0.001). However, trend analysis showed a greater (P less than 0.01) increase in the osteoporotic women. These data do not support the hypothesis that defective osteoblast function is the major cause of bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis. 相似文献

Bone alkaline phosphatase measured with a new immunoradiometric assay in patients with metabolic bone diseases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have investigated the clinical utility of a new quantitative two-site radioimmunometric assay specific for bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) in 219 healthy control subjects and in 264 patients with various metabolic bone diseases. B-ALP was compared with total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP) and with osteocalcin (BGP). B-ALP increased linearly with age in both sexes. In postmenopausal normal women B-ALP increased by 82% compared with premenopausal normal women, whereas the differences between pre- and postmenopausal women for T-ALP and BGP were 18% and 30% respectively. As assessed by Z -score, the highest values of B-ALP were found in patients with Paget's disease of bone, bone metastases or hyperparathyroidism and in patients on maintenance haemodialysis. In osteoporotic patients, B-ALP, but not T-ALP, showed a slight but significant ( P < 0.05) difference compared with normal women. On the basis of bone turnover, osteoporotic patients were divided into two groups: high turnover and low turnover; B-ALP, like BGP, was significantly ( P < 0.01) higher in patients with high turnover. In conclusion, B-ALP, measured by this new method, can be considered a sensitive marker of bone turnover and could be especially useful in identifying women at risk of developing osteoporosis. 相似文献

Because it is unclear whether age-related bone loss results from increased bone resorption, decreased bone formation or both, we measured the serum level of bone Gla-protein (BGP), a specific marker for bone turnover, in 174 women, ages 30 to 94 yr. Serum BGP increased linearly with aging (r = 0.44, P less than 0.001) from 4.4 +/- 0.4 (mean +/- SE) in the 4th decade to 8.9 +/- 0.9 ng/ml in the 10th decade. This increase correlated inversely (P less than 0.001) with concomitant decreases in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, midradius, and distal radius. Using partial correlation coefficients, serum BGP still correlated positively with age (r = 0.31, P less than 0.001) after creatinine clearance was fixed but not with creatinine clearance (r = -0.04, NS) when age was fixed. Urinary hydroxyproline (r = 0.29, P less than 0.001), an index of bone resorption, and serum alkaline phosphatase (r = 0.31, P less than 0.001), an index of bone formation, also increased with age and these increases correlated with increases in serum BGP (r = 0.39, P less than 0.001 and r = 0.43, P less than 0.001, respectively). Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone concentrations (r = 0.39, P less than 0.001) and urinary cyclic AMP excretion (r = 0.38, P less than 0.001) increased, suggesting that PTH secretion increased with age; these increases correlated significantly with increases in serum BGP. A subgroup of 32 women who were found to have vertebral fractures, hip fractures, or both had significantly higher values for serum BGP than the remainder. These data suggest that overall bone turnover increases in women with aging and, especially considering the concomitant decrease in skeletal mass, do not support the view that age-related bone loss results primarily from decreased bone formation. 相似文献

We have measured classic markers of bone turnover, serum alkaline phosphatase (sAP), urinary hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio (uOH-Prol/creatinine) and osteocalcin (sBGP), in two bone disorders characterized by an increase in bone remodelling, namely Paget's disease of bone and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and in two other bone diseases characterized by an increase in bone resorption without the concomitant increase in bone formation, hypercalcaemia of malignancy (HM) and involutional osteoporosis (IO). Serum BGP was increased in patients with Paget's disease of bone (6.7 +/- 3.1; n = 25; p less than 0.01) and in PHPT patients (8.3 +/- 5.3; n = 20; p less than 0.005) with respect to control patients (4.2 +/- 1.2 ng/ml; n = 12). Two subgroups of patients with high and normal levels of sBGP were found in both pathologies. Serum BGP was decreased in HM patients (2.1 +/- 1.7; n = 9; p less than 0.01) and in IO patients (1.9 +/- 1.4; n = 31; p less than 0.001). Two subgroups of patients with normal and low sBGP values were found in these two last disorders. A positive linear correlation was found between sBGP and sAP (y = 14.6x + 73.7; r = 0.44; p less than 0.05) and between sBGP and uOH-Prol/creatinine (y = 0.008x + 0.007; r = 0.67; p less than 0.001) in Paget's disease of bone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Hip fracture is one of the severest consequences of osteoporosis affecting elderly women, but abnormalities of bone turnover responsible for bone loss have not been clearly defined. This study evaluated the relationship of bone turnover parameters to hip fracture in postmenopausal elderly women. We also investigated the effects of endogenous hormones and vitamin D deficiency on osteoporotic hip fracture. The subjects were 21 osteoporotic patients with hip fracture (study group) and 20 healthy postmenopausal women (control group). We measured osteocalcin levels, total and bone alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP and B-ALP), calcitonin, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), urinary free deoxypyridinoline (D-pyr) and cross-linked N-telopeptides of type 1 collagen (NTx) levels. Serum T-ALP and B-ALP levels in the study group were lower than those of the control group. The mean serum 25OHD levels in the study group were not significantly different from the control group, but in five cases the mean serum iPTH level was increased. The mean urinary NTx levels were significantly increased in the study group compared with the control group (p<0.05). There was no significant increase in urinary free D-pyr between the two groups. There was significant correlation between serum T-ALP levels and B-ALP levels and between serum iPTH levels and B-ALP levels. The mean serum SHBG level in the study group was higher than in the control group (p<0.05). These data suggest that postmenopausal hip fracture patients have biochemical evidence of decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption compared with postmenopausal healthy subjects. We suggest these abnormalities play a role in the decrease of bone mass and the consequent increase in bone fragility that characterises osteoporotic hip fracture. 相似文献

Seasonal variation of serum bone GLA protein 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The seasonal variation of serum Bone Gla Protein (BGP) was investigated in 15 normal young individuals (seven women and eight men, aged 27-39 years). Serum BGP exhibited a significant seasonal variation of 23% around the yearly mean (p less than 0.001) with zenith in February and nadir in July. Significant seasonal variations were noted also for serum alkaline phosphatase (p less than 0.01) and serum phosphate (p less than 0.01). Serum calcium, bone mineral content (BMC) and creatinine clearance revealed no significant seasonal variation. The seasonal variation of BGP did not follow the variation in serum total alkaline phosphatase. The seasonal variation of BGP has to be taken into account when using the protein as a marker of bone remodelling activity. The variation was probably caused by changes in the production rate of the protein, since the renal excretion of the protein, as reflected in creatinine clearance, remained unchanged throughout the year. 相似文献

Thirty healthy perimenopausal women who had normal lumber spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) participated in this study as controls. The pathological group comprised 50 postmenopausal osteoporotic women who had LS-BMD more that 2 SD below the normal mean of healthy perimenopausal women. Postmenopausal osteoporotic patients were allocated to three different therapeutic modalities (hormone replacement therapy HRT, alendronate or combined HRT and alendronate). Blood and urine samples were collected from all groups before and 12 months after treatment. Serum bone sialoprotein (BSP) was measured by a specific radioimmunoassay and urinary pyridinoline N-telopeptide of type l collagen (NTX ) were determined as biomarkers of bone resorption. In addition, serum IL-11 and TGF g 2 were measured by enzyme immunoassays. The results obtained showed that serum BSP was significantly elevated in postmenopausal osteoporosis compared to that of healthy perimenopausal controls. Significant positive correlations exist between serum BSP and biomarkers of bone resorption (Pyr,DPyr,NTX ) as well as bone resorptive cytokines (IL-11,TGF g 2 ). Serum BSP decreased after different antiresorptive treatments and this decrease paralleled the decrease of bone resorption markers and the increase of LS-BMD. Based on these data, circulating BSP appears to be a valuable marker of bone resorption and monitoring therapy with antiresorptive drugs in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

New evidence that serum β2 -microglobulin behaves as a biological marker of bone remodelling in women
E. RIPOLL M. REVILLA E. R. HERNÁNDEZ I. ARRIBAS L. F. VILLA H. RICO 《European journal of clinical investigation》1996,26(8):681-685
Abstract. Having observed that serum β 2 -microglobulin concentration correlates with serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) concentration in postmenopausal osteoporosis, and that metacarpal endosteal diameter is dependent on bone resorption, we correlated the two biochemical parameters with the radiographic parameter to determine if β 2 -microglobulin behaves like a biological marker of bone remodelling. In 105 women (mean age 68±4 years) consisting of 60 normal postmenopausal women and 55 osteoporotic postmenopausal women, there was a significant positive correlation between metacarpal endosteal diameter and these two biochemical values ( r = 0.66 with β 2 -microglobulin and r = 0.68 with TRAP in the osteoporotic postmenopausal women: r = 0.48 with β 2 -microglobulin and r = 0.56 with TRAP in the normal postmenopausal women: P < 0.001 for all comparisons). All three measurements were significantly higher ( P < 0.001) in the osteoporotic postmenopausal women than in the normal postmenopausal women. These findings show that serum β 2 -microglobulin behaves like a biological marker of remodelling. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of osteoclast activating cytokines, interleukin-11 (IL-11) and transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2) in the assessment of bone turnover in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PO). Eighty postmenopausal osteoporotic women with lumbar spine bone mineral densities (BMD) as measured by DEXA that were more than 2.5 SD below the normal mean of healthy women (controls), participated in this study. Various therapeutic modalities (hormone replacement therapy, HRT, alendronate, calcitonin and 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D (alfacalcidol) were administered for 12 months to 4 groups of postmenopausal osteoporotic patients. Fasting blood samples and two hour urine samples were collected from control subjects and from patients before and after treatment. Serum samples were assayed for IL-11, TGF-beta2, osteocalcin (OC) and bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP), whereas urine samples were assayed for N-telopeptide for type I collagen (NTX) and deoxypyridinoline (DPyr). The results demonstrated a significant increase of both IL-11 and TGF-beta2 in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Positive correlations exist between TGF-beta2 or IL-11 and markers of bone resorption (NTX and DPyr). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between TGF-beta2 and IL-11. Therapeutic modalities enhancing bone formation and/or with antiresorptive effect revealed a significant decrease in markers of bone resorption, formation and osteoclast activating cytokines, indicating a decrease in bone turnover. The decrease of IL-11 and TGF-beta2 may be attributed to a drug inhibitory effect of these cytokines on enhancing osteoblast mediated osteoid degradation. In conclusion, both serum IL-11 and TGF-beta2 determinations may be considered as biomarkers for the assessment of bone turnover and for monitoring antiresorptive therapy in postmenopausal osteoporosis. 相似文献

To investigate the effectiveness of calcitonin treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in relation to bone turnover, we examined 53 postmenopausal osteoporotic women before and after one year of therapy with salmon calcitonin (sCT), at the dose of 50 IU every other day. Baseline evaluation revealed that 17 (32%) patients had high turnover (HTOP), and 36 (68%) normal turnover osteoporosis (NTOP) as assessed by measurement of whole body retention (WBR) of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate. The two groups did not differ in terms of bone mineral content (BMC) measured by dual photon absorptiometry at both lumbar spine and femoral diaphysis. However, HTOP patients had higher levels of serum osteocalcin (OC) and urinary hydroxyproline excretion (HOP/Cr). Multivariate regression analysis showed no correlation between parameters of bone turnover (WBR, OC, HOP/Cr) and both femoral and vertebral bone density; the latter being negatively correlated only with the years elapsed since menopause (R2 = 0.406). Treatment with sCT resulted in a significant increase of vertebral BMC in the 53 patients taken as a whole group (+/- 7%, P less than 0.001). When the results obtained in HTOP and NTOP were analyzed separately, only those with HTOP showed a marked increment of spinal BMC (+22%, P less than 0.001), NTOP subjects neither gained nor lost bone mineral during the study. Femoral BMC decreased in the whole group after sCT therapy (-3%, P less than 0.003). However, HTOP patients maintained initial BMC values, whereas those with NTOP lost a significant amount of bone during the study period (-5%, P less than 0.001). The increase of vertebral bone mass was associated with a marked depression of bone turnover detectable in both subsets of patients and in the whole group. In conclusion: (a) assessment of bone turnover cannot help predict the severity of bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis; (b) calcitonin therapy appears to be particularly indicated for patients with high-turnover osteoporosis, resulting in a net gain of bone mineral in the axial skeleton and a slowing of bone loss in the appendicular bones. 相似文献

Osteopontin (OPN) is an extracellular matrix protein that is expressed in bone cells such as osteoblast and osteocytes and associated with bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Here, we aimed to investigate the relationship between circulating OPN levels and BMD in postmenopausal women in Southern China. A total of 362 postmenopausal women were consecutively recruited into this study from 2011–2013. Serum levels of OPN, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL), and bone turnover markers were analyzed. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Osteoporosis and osteopenia were diagnosed according to the World Health Organization criteria. Serum OPN levels were remarkably higher in the osteoporotic group than those in the osteopenic and normal groups (all p?0.001). The cut-off value of OPN for diagnosing postmenopausal osteoporosis was 10.1 ng/mL, which had a sensitivity of 89.5%, a specificity of 70.8%, and an area under curve of 0.953. Serum OPN was negatively correlated with parathyroid hormone (PTH), lumbar spine BMD, and femoral neck BMD (r?=??0.25, p?=?0.004; r?=??0.66, p?0.001; r?=??0.28, p?=?0.001; respectively) and positively associated with type I procollagen amino-terminal propeptide (PINP), carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), and RANKL (r?=?0.20, p?=?0.020; r?=?0.17, p?=?0.036; r?=?0.19, p?=?0.028, respectively) in the osteoporotic group. In multiple regression analyses, lumbar spine BMD, PTH and RANKL were the predictors for serum OPN levels. In conclusion, OPN serum levels are negatively related to BMD and positively correlated with bone turnover levels in this group of Chinese postmenopausal women. 相似文献

Most RIAs of serum bone gla-protein (BGP; also called osteocalcin) used for clinical investigation are based on bovine BGP for standard, tracer, and immunogen because of the homology between bovine and human BGP. However, ovine BGP differs from human BGP by only five amino acids, being identical from residues 11 to 49, as compared with homology at residues 20-49 between bovine and human BGP. In screening various anti-ovine BGP polyclonal anti-sera we selected one (R310) that exhibits apparently complete cross-reactivity with human BGP, as assessed by dilutions of 13 human sera from normal subjects and from patients with bone disease. This RIA gave a 42% binding at a 10,000-fold final dilution, with intra- and interassay variations less than 7% and 11%, respectively. Gel-filtration chromatography of human serum showed a single immunoreactive peak. Synthetic fragments of human BGP 1-10, 7-19, 25-37, and 37-49 were not recognized by R310, suggesting that either a mid-molecule region or a conformational epitope was its target. Using this RIA, we determined that serum BGP increased with age in women (P less than 0.02), by a mean of 90% from ages 30 to 70 years. Serum BGP was also increased in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, and Paget's disease. In contrast with the "normal" concentrations of BGP detected with an anti-bovine BGP antiserum (R102), serum BGP was increased in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis as measured with the R310 ovine assay, suggesting a greater sensitivity for the latter assay. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Cathepsin K, a cysteine protease, plays an essential role in osteoclast-mediated collagen degradation. Recently, an immunoassay to quantify cathepsin K in serum has been developed. We assessed the usefulness of serum cathepsin K as a marker of bone turnover in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of patients with metabolic bone disease. METHODS: The study cohort consisted of 40 healthy subjects, 21 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis [66.1 +/- 7.9 yrs] and 10 patients with Paget's disease of bone [67.1 +/- 11.6 yrs]. All patients were started on oral or intravenous bisphosphonate treatment and were followed prospectively over 6 months. Circulating cathepsin K levels were determined by a specific sandwich enzyme immunoassay (Biomedica, Vienna, Austria). In addition, serum carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (betaCTX-I) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) were measured for comparison. RESULTS: When compared to healthy subjects, mean serum cathepsin K levels were significantly elevated in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (3.1 +/- 1.9 vs. 11.3 +/- 13.1 pmol/L, p = 0.01) and in patients with Paget's disease of bone (6.2 +/- 4.4 pmol/L, p = 0.04). In postmenopausal osteoporotic women, both oral and intravenous bisphosphonate treatment resulted in a significant reduction in serum cathepsin K levels (p = 0.03) with most of the effect occurring after one month (mean% change: -33%). In patients with mild Paget's disease, serum cathepsin K levels decreased during bisphosphonate treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Serum concentrations of cathepsin K appear to reflect osteoclastic activity in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone and may hold promise as a marker of osteoclast activity. 相似文献

With advancing age both sexes have an increased incidence of osteoporotic fractures, although fractures are more common in women than in men. Whereas in women several potential risk factors have been identified, less is known about osteoporosis in men. A total of 27 Austrian men (mean age: 65 +/- 2 years) with atraumatic spine fractures were studied. In all patients, medical history gave no evidence of disease or medications causing osteoporosis. Peripheral bone mass was determined by single-photonabsorptiometry on the distal non-dominant forearm; lumbal bone density was measured by quantitative computed tomography. Serum levels of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, testosterone, estrogen, parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D as well as 2-h-urinary-OH proline and calcium excretion were measured. All data were compared with those of an age and sex matched control group consisting of 19 healthy males. A significant difference in mean peripheral and axial bone mass (SPA: P less than 0.004; QCT: P less than 0.0001) was observed between osteoporotic men and controls. When compared to controls, serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (P less than 0.012), urinary OH proline (P less than 0.05) and urinary calcium excretion (P less than 0.003) were significantly higher in the osteoporotic males. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary OH proline excretion (r = 0.32; P less than 0.04) in the osteoporotics. All other biochemical parameters showed no significant differences. Our results may lead to the assumption that osteopenia in men is related to increased bone turnover. 相似文献

In order to sudy the specificity and sensitivity of markers of bone metabolism in postmenopausal osteoporosis we investigated bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin and carboxyl-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I in sera as markers of bone formation, and deoxypyridinoline in urine as a marker of bone resorption. The investigated parameters were determined in 53 women with confirmed osteoporosis and in a control group consisting of 45 healthy postmenopausal women without bone changes who were 40 to 79 years old. All biochemical markers were determined by monoclonal competitive enzyme immunoassay tests obtained by Metra Biosystems. The activity of bone alkaline phosphatase and the concentration of osteocalcin, procollagen type IVC-terminal propeptide (PICP), and deoxypyridinoline were grouped according to age of postmenopausal healthy and osteoporotic women. The values of all bone markers gradually increased with age, but significantly higher values were obtained in groups of postmenopausal osteoporotic women. By using receiver operator characteristic curve analysis, a very high specificity and sensitivity of the investigated biochemical markers in the diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis were proven. The areas under the PICP curve and the osteocalcin curve were significantly higher than the area under the deoxypyridinoline curve, demonstrating a higher discriminating power of PICP and osteocalcin than deoxypyridinoline (p < 0.05). 相似文献

Serum bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing (Gla) protein (sBGP), a sensitive and specific marker of bone turnover, was measured in 25 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and in 24 patients with bone metastases with or without hypercalcemia. Despite similar levels of hypercalcemia, sBGP was increased in primary hyperparathyroidism (14.2 +/- 9.6 ng/ml, P less than 0.001), was decreased in malignant hypercalcemia (3.1 +/- 2.8 ng/ml, P less than 0.001), and was normal in patients with bone metastases without hypercalcemia (6.6 +/- 2.7 ng/ml). In primary hyperparathyroidism, sBGP was correlated with serum immuno-reactive parathyroid hormone (r = 0.90), calcium (r = 0.73), and with the adenoma weight (r = 0.79). After parathyroidectomy, sBGP slowly returned to normal values within 2-6 mo, suggesting that sBGP reflects increased bone turnover rather than a direct effect of parathyroid hormone on BGP synthesis at the cell level. An iliac crest biopsy was performed in 11 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and in 9 cancer patients in a noninvaded area. sBGP was significantly correlated with all parameters reflecting bone formation but not with bone resorption. Patients with bone metastases were analyzed according to the presence or the absence of hypercalcemia. In contrast to normocalcemic patients who had normal sBGP, hypercalcemic patients had decreased sBGP (P less than 0.001) and a lower bone formation at the cellular level (P less than 0.05). Thus, biochemical and histological data suggest that an unknown humoral factor might be responsible for this uncoupling between increased resorption and decreased formation. This uncoupling, rather than local release of calcium by the metastatic process, might be responsible for hypercalcemia in patients with bone metastases. 相似文献

Plasma bone Gla protein (BGP) was determined by radio-immunoassay in 266 healthy adults, men (n = 132) and women (n = 134), aged 20-79 years. In the women aged 30-69 years, plasma BGP increased significantly with age (r = 0.44, p less than 0.001), and a particularly steep increase was seen from 1.1 +/- 0.5 (mean +/- 1 SD) in the fifth decade to 2.0 +/- 1.4 nmol/l in the seventh decade. In men, aged 30-69 years, no correlation was found between plasma BGP and age (r = -0.07, NS). Plasma bone Gla protein is removed from the circulation mainly by the kidneys and the increased plasma BGP in the women could be caused by decreased renal clearance. The interrelationship was analysed by means of partial correlation. When creatinine clearance was held constant in women, BGP still correlated positively with age (r = 0.40, p less than 0.001), but not with creatinine clearance (r = 0.003, NS) when age was fixed. Plasma BGP was significantly increased above normal in 35 patients with chronic renal failure (10.2 +/- 14.6 nmol/l). Non-linear regression analysis showed that plasma BGP was within the normal range when 24-h creatinine clearance was greater than 30 ml/min, and large increases in plasma BGP did not occur until the 24-h creatinine clearance was below 20 ml/min. We conclude that, in normal subjects and patients with mild to moderate renal failure, plasma elevations of BGP reflect increased bone turnover rather than decreased renal clearance. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Biochemical bone markers are sensitive to the changes in bone turnover that result from treatment of postmenopausal osteoporotic women with antiresorptive therapies. Although information is available on the use of bone markers in monitoring therapy in groups of subjects, less is known regarding how these markers perform in individual patients. METHODS: Serum bone alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP) concentrations, measured with the Tandem(R) Ostase(R) assay, were used to monitor the biochemical response of bone in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis receiving either 10 mg/day alendronate therapy (n = 74) or calcium supplementation (n = 148) for 24 months. RESULTS: Bone ALP decreased significantly from baseline at 3 months (P =0.0001), reaching a nadir between 3 and 6 months of alendronate therapy. The magnitude of the bone ALP decrease in the treated osteoporotic population was consistent with normalization to premenopausal concentrations. Of the 74 alendronate-treated subjects, 63 (85.1%) demonstrated a decrease from baseline in bone ALP by 6 months that exceeded the least significant change of 25%. The bone ALP decrease from baseline exceeded 25% in 72 (97%) by the end of the study. CONCLUSION: The bone ALP assay is a sensitive and reliable tool that may be used to monitor the reduction in bone turnover after alendronate therapy in individual postmenopausal osteoporotic women. 相似文献

Pre-clinical data have shown that osteoprotegerin (OPG) inhibits osteoclast function and therefore plays an important role in bone remodelling. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of serum OPG. Do higher OPG serum levels reflect decreased bone resorption and perhaps higher bone mass in women? Serum OPG levels were measured in 177 healthy women (aged 17-85 years) and in 48 untreated patients (mean age 71 +/- 5) with established osteoporosis, and related to age, bone mass, markers of bone turnover and, in the case of patients with osteoporosis, to pre-existing vertebral fractures. In healthy women OPG levels showed a positive correlation with age (r = 0.25, p < 0.001) but not to bone mass or markers of bone turnover. In women with osteoporosis, however, there was a strong relationship between serum OPG and markers of bone turnover (serum c-terminal crosslinked telopeptides of thpe I collagen (sCTX): r = +0.82, p < 0.0001; osteocalcin (OC): r = +0.69, p < 0.0001), with patients who had higher levels of bone-turnover markers showing higher serum levels of OPG. After adjustment for bone mass and bone markers, patients with pre-existing vertebral fractures had significantly lower serum OPG levels than patients without fractures (57 +/- 8 vs. 97 +/- 10 pg/ml, [mean +/- SE], p < 0.01). The age-dependent increase of OPG as an antiresorptive factor may reflect an insufficient paracrine mechanism of bone cells to compensate for bone loss in older age. In patients with osteoporosis, however, OPG correlated strongly with markers of bone turnover; this may point toward a higher level of RANKL/OPG expression in these patients. Finally, low OPG serum levels seem to be associated with vertebral fractures. We hypothesise that low OPG levels in preset conditions of bone turnover may indicate a higher risk of fracture in patients with osteoporosis. 相似文献
