Objectives: In our study, we investigated whether the undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) is an indicator of bone turnover for patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). Furthermore, have examined relationships between ucOC levels and other inidicators such as (OC), specific alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP), calcitonin, vitamin D, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calciu...

Oral anticoagulants exert their effect by blocking the utilization of vitamin K, yet little is known about competitive aspects of their interaction with dietary vitamin K. We carried out systematic dose-response studies in healthy volunteers who had been stably anticoagulated and maintained on their individualized doses for 13 weeks. First, we studied the response to weekly incremental doses (5...

In the first part of this review, two pathways are described whereby adipose tissue acts on bone mass. In the first, leptin activates the sympathetic nervous system via serotonin and d...
