Physiologic Fluctuations of Serum Estradiol Levels Influence Biochemical Markers of Bone Resorption in Young Women

Plasma Fluctuation in Estradiol-17β and Bone Resorption Markers around

Sequential analysis of biochemical markers of bone resorption and bone densitometry in multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bone lesions often occur in multiple myeloma (MM), but no tests have proven useful in identifying patients with increased risk. Bone marker assays and bone densitometry are non-invasive methods that can be used repeatedly at low cost. This study was performed to evaluate these methods in predicting bone events in MM patients. DESIGN AND METHODS Thirty newly diagnosed...

Effects of Resistance Training on Serum Cortisol and Dehydroepiandrosterone Levels in Trained Young Women

Background & Objectives:Endocrine hormones, through their anabolic or catabolic function, contribute in body homeostasis. They can be used to assess the physical performance in athletes. This study was performed to determine the resistance training (RT) influences on serum cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone in trained young females. Materials & Methods:The study population c...

Serum concentration of biochemical bone turnover markers in vegetarian children.

PURPOSE In general, most children on well-planed vegetarian diets can achieve normal growth and development. However, elimination of animal products from the diet decreases the intake of some essential nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and may influence bone metabolism. This is especially important in childhood and adolescence, when growth and bone turnover are most intensive. The aim o...
