Abstract
Aging causes progressive deterioration of daily rhythms in behavioral and metabolic processes and disruption in the regular sleep-wake cycle. Circadian disruption is directly related to diverse age-induced health abnormalities. Rising evidence from various organisms shows that core clock gene mutations cause premature aging, reduced lifespan, and sleeping irregularities. Improving the clock functions and correcting its disruption by pharmacological interventions or time-regulated feeding patterns could be a novel avenue for effective clinical management of aging and sleep disorders. To this end, many drugs for sleep disorders and anti-aging compounds interact with the core clock machinery and alter the circadian output. Evaluation of dosing time-dependency and circadian regulation of drug metabolism for therapeutic improvement of the existing drugs is another fundamental facet of chronomedicine. Multiple studies have demonstrated dose-dependent manipulation of the circadian period and phase-shifting by pharmacologically active compounds. The chronobiology research field is gradually moving towards the development of novel therapeutic strategies based on targeting the molecular clock or dosing time-oriented medications. However, such translational research ventures would require more experimental evidence from studies on humans. This review discusses the impact of circadian rhythms on aging and sleep, emphasizing the potentiality of circadian medicine in aging attenuation and sleep disorders.

Zheng Q, Kernozek T, Daoud-Gray A, Borer KT. Anabolic Bone Stimulus Requires a Pre-Exercise Meal and 45-Minute Walking Impulse of Suprathreshold Speed-Enhanced Momentum to Prevent or Mitigate Postmenopausal Osteoporosis within Circadian Constraints. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13113727. [PMID: 34835982 PMCID: PMC8620686 DOI: 10.3390/nu13113727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis currently afflicts 8 million postmenopausal women in the US, increasing the risk of bone fractures and morbidity, and reducing overall quality of life. We sought to define moderate exercise protocols that can prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our previous findings singled out higher walking speed and pre-exercise meals as necessary for suppression of bone resorption and increasing of markers of bone formation. Since both studies were amenable to alternate biomechanical, nutritional, and circadian interpretations, we sought to determine the relative importance of higher speed, momentum, speed-enhanced load, duration of impulse, and meal timing on osteogenic response. We hypothesized that: (1) 20 min of exercise one hour after eating is sufficient to suppress bone resorption as much as a 40-min impulse and that two 20 min exercise bouts separated by 7 h would double the anabolic effect; (2) early morning exercise performed after eating will be as effective as mid-day exercise for anabolic outcome; and (3) the 08:00 h 40-min. exercise uphill would be as osteogenic as the 40-min exercise downhill. Healthy postmenopausal women, 8 each, were assigned to a no-exercise condition (SED) or to 40- or 20-min exercise bouts, spaced 7 h apart, for walking uphill (40 Up and 20 Up) or downhill (40 Down and 20 Down) to produce differences in biomechanical variables. Exercise was initiated at 08:00 h one hour after eating in 40-min groups, and also 7 h later, two hours after the midday meal, in 20-min groups. Measurements were made of CICP (c-terminal peptide of type I collagen), osteocalcin (OC), and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), markers of bone formation, and of the bone resorptive marker CTX (c-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen). The osteogenic ratios CICP/CTX, OC/CTX, and BALP/CTX were calculated. Only the 40-min downhill exercise of suprathreshold speed-enhanced momentum, increased the three osteogenic ratios, demonstrating the necessity of a 40-min, and inadequacy of a 20-min, exercise impulse. The failure of anabolic outcome in 40-min uphill exercise was attributed to a sustained elevation of PTH concentration, as its high morning elevation enhances the CTX circadian rhythm. We conclude that postmenopausal osteoporosis can be prevented or mitigated in sedentary women by 45 min of morning exercise of suprathreshold speed-enhanced increased momentum performed shortly after a meal while walking on level ground, or by 40-min downhill, but not 40-min uphill, exercise to avoid circadian PTH oversecretion. The principal stimulus for the anabolic effect is exercise, but the prerequisite for a pre-exercise meal demonstrates the requirement for nutrient facilitation.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of physical activity on body image perception and bone are debated among artistic gymnasts. Gymnasts seem to be at greater risk of developing body dissatisfaction, eating disorders and osteoporosis due to inadequate nutrition and attention to the appearance of the body. The objective of this work was to investigate the association between the artistic gymnast and a more favorable body image compared to their sedentary peers and if a preworkout high-carbohydrate meal (HCM; 300 kcal, 88% carbohydrates, 9% protein, 3% fat) or high-protein meal (HPM; 300 kcal, 55% carbohydrates, 31% protein, 13% fat) is able to attenuate bone resorption in young rhythmic gymnasts. Twenty-eight preadolescent female gymnasts were examined. Self-esteem tests were used to analyze body image perception. Preworkout eating habits were examined by short food frequency questions (FFQ) validated for children. The biomarker of the bone resorption C-terminal telopeptide region of collagen type 1 (CTX) was measured in the urine (fasting, postmeal and postworkout). Gymnasts reported higher satisfaction with their body appearance compared to sedentary peers. Of the gymnasts, 30% did not have a preworkout meal regularly, and the timing of the consumption was variable. Bone resorption was decreased by the HCM, consumed 90 min before the training, with respect to the HPM. The study suggests that playing artistic gymnastics is associated with a positive body self-perception in a child. The variability in preworkout meal frequency and timing need attention to prevent inadequate eating habits in light of the ability of the HCM to reduce acute bone resorption.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and bone fragility are progressing worldwide. Previous published literature reported a possible beneficial role of gut hormones, and especially glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), in modulating bone remodeling. As now (Gly2)GLP-2 is approved in the treatment of short bowel syndrome, we thought to investigate whether such molecule could be beneficial in bone fragility. MC3T3 and Raw 264.7 were cultured in presence of ascending concentrations of (Gly2)GLP-2. Collagen crosslinks, maturity, lysyl oxidase activity and osteoclastogenesis were then analyzed. Furthermore, (Gly2)GLP-2, at the clinical approved dose of 50 μg/kg/day, was also administered to ovariectomized Balb/c mice for 8 weeks. Hundred μg/kg zoledronic acid (once iv) was also used as a positive comparator. Bone strength, microarchitectures and bone tissue composition were analyzed by 3-point bending, compression test, microCT and Fourier transform infrared imaging, respectively. In vitro, (Gly2)GLP-2 was potent in enhancing bone matrix gene expression but also to dose-dependently enhanced collagen maturation and post-processing. (Gly2)GLP-2 was also capable of reducing dose-dependently the number of newly generated osteoclasts. However, in vivo, (Gly2)GLP-2 was not capable of improving neither bone strength, at the femur diaphysis or lumbar vertebrae, nor bone microarchitecture. On the other hand, at the tissue material level, (Gly2)GLP-2 significantly enhances collagen maturity and reduce phosphate/amide ratio. Overall, this study highlights that despite modification of bone tissue composition, (Gly2)GLP-2, at the clinical approved dose of 50 μg/kg/day, did not provide real beneficial effects in improving bone strength in a mouse model of bone fragility. Further studies are recommended to validate the best dose and regimen of administration to significantly enhance bone strength. In vitro, (Gly2)GLP-2 enhances dose-dependently bone matrix deposition and quality. In vitro, (Gly2)GLP-2 reduces dose-dependently osteoclast formation. In vivo, (Gly2)GLP-2 failed to improve bone strength in ovariectomy-induced bone loss. In vivo, (Gly2)GLP-2 failed to improve bone microarchitecture. In vivo, (Gly2)GLP-2 increased collagen maturity and phosphate/amide ratios.

Abstract
Circadian rhythm (CR) plays a critical role in the treatment of several diseases. However, the role of CR in the treatment of peripheral nerve defects has not been studied. It is also known that the pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can provide a beneficial microenvironment to quicken the process of nerve regeneration and to enhance the quality of reconstruction. In this study, we evaluate the impact of CR on the promoting effect of PEMF on peripheral nerve regeneration in rats. We used the self-made “collagen-chitosan” nerve conduits to bridge the 15-mm nerve gaps in Sprague-Dawley rats. Our results show that PEMF stimulation at daytime (DPEMF) has most effective outcome on nerve regeneration and rats with DPEMF treatment achieve quickly functional recovery after 12 weeks. These findings indicate that CR is an important factor that determines the promoting effect of PEMF on peripheral nerve regeneration. PEMF exposure in the daytime enhances the functional recovery of rats. Our study provides a helpful guideline for the effective use of PEMF mediations experimentally and clinically.

Abstract
Biochemical markers of bone turnover (BTM) are released during bone remodeling and can be measured in blood or urine as noninvasive surrogate markers for the bone remodeling rate. The C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (βCTX) is released during bone resorption and is specific to bone tissue. Assays have been developed to measure βCTX in blood and in urine; most current use of βCTX measurement for research and in clinical practice is performed on a blood sample. Method-specific differences for serum and plasma βCTX have led to initiatives to standardize or harmonize βCTX commercial assays. βCTX demonstrates significant biological variation due to circadian rhythm and effect of food which can be minimized by standardized sample collection in the fasting state in the morning. While βCTX predicts fracture risk independent of bone mineral density, lack of data has precluded its inclusion in fracture risk calculators. The changes seen in βCTX with antiresorptive therapies have been well characterized and this has led to its widespread use for monitoring therapy in osteoporosis. However, more fracture-based data on appropriate treatment goals for monitoring need to be developed. Evidence is lacking for the use of βCTX in managing "drug holidays" of bisphosphonate treatment in osteoporosis or risk stratifying those at increased risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw. βCTX is useful as an adjunct to imaging techniques for the diagnosis of Paget's disease of bone and for monitoring therapy and detecting recurrence. βCTX also shows promise in the management of metastatic bone disease.

Diurnal variation in concentrations of various markers of bone metabolism in growing female goats and sheep. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2016.

Abstract
AbstractTwelve 6-month-old growing female goats and sheep were used in this study. Blood samples were obtained in the morning before goats and sheep were given food and then at 2-h intervals for 24 h (part I). This procedure was repeated 2 weeks later (part II). Concentrations of osteocalcin (OC), activities of total (tAP) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bAP), degradation products of C-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (CrossLaps™ CL), and carboxyterminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (ICTP) were measured in serum.In both parts of the study, all bone marker concentrations were significantly higher in goats than in sheep. The OC concentrations in goats increased in the late afternoon/evening and decreased thereafter to reach values similar to those obtained at the beginning. The ICTP concentrations in goats slowly decreased until 14:00 h, increased, and decreased again. The concentrations in sheep decreased continuously but not significantly, towards the morning sampling. The CL concentrations increased in both sheep and goats during the night but at 06:00 h started to decrease to levels found at the beginning of testing. The bAP activities decreased in goats from 20:00 to 22:00 h. Changes in the concentrations of bone markers were mainly observed in goats of this study. As documented for bone resorption and formation in other species, circadian rhythms were evident for concentrations of ICTP, CL, bAP and OC. The present study indicates that growing goats may have a physiologically higher bone turn-over than growing sheep, because the bone marker concentrations were always higher.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrin signaling is an attractive target for anti-cancer treatment. GLPG0187 is a broad spectrum integrin receptor antagonist (IRA). GLPG0187 inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in mouse models. METHODS We aimed to determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) and to assess safety and tolerability of continuous i.v. infusion in patients with advanced malignant solid tumors. Anticipated dose levels were 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, and 400 mg/day in a modified 3 + 3 design. Plasma concentrations of GLPG0187 were assessed to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK). C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) was used as pharmacodynamics marker. RESULTS Twenty patients received GLPG0187. No dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed. The highest possible and tested dose was 400 mg/day. Fatigue was the most frequently reported side effect (25%). Recurrent Port-A-Cath-related infections and skin toxicity suggest cutaneous integrin inhibition. No dose-dependent toxicity could be established. PK analysis showed a short average distribution (0.16 h) and elimination (3.8 h) half-life. Continuous infusion resulted in dose proportional PK profiles. We observed decreases in serum CTX levels independent of the dose given, suggesting target engagement at the lowest dose level tested. Single agent treatment did not result in tumor responses. CONCLUSIONS GLPG0187 was well tolerated with a dose-proportional PK profile upon continuous infusion. No formal maximal tolerated dose could be established. GLPG0187 showed signs of target engagement with a favourable toxicity profile. However, continuous infusion of GLPG0187 failed to show signs of monotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
Relationships between the plasma concentration of a cathepsin K inhibitor (ONO-5334) and inhibition of bone resorption markers N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) in serum and urinary NTX/creatinine and CTX/creatinine were examined in 10 postmenopausal women. The subjects received slow-release tablets of 100mg ONO-5534 under fasted or fed conditions in a study with a crossover design. Inhibition of serum NTX and CTX levels and plasma concentrations of ONO-5334 were monitored at 0, 24, 48 and 168 h after dosing. Changes in urinary NTX/creatinine and CTX/creatinine levels in second morning urine were evaluated on 0, 1, 2 and 7 days after dosing. Data were analyzed using sigmoid maximal drug effect (Emax) models. The maximal inhibition, estimated Emax values, were -31.8% for serum NTX, -53.1% for serum CTX, -67.2% for urinary NTX/creatinine, and -95.2% for urinary CTX/creatinine. The estimated half maximal effective plasma concentrations (EC50) of ONO-5334 and confidence intervals were 1.79 (1.01 to 3.16) ng/mL for serum NTX, 2.07 (1.63 to 2.62) ng/mL for serum CTX, 1.85 (1.30 to 2.61) ng/mL for urinary NTX/creatinine, and 1.98 (0.94 to 3.76) ng/mL for urinary CTX/creatinine. EC50 values for the four crosslinks did not significantly differ, as indicated by the overlapping 95% confidence intervals. The highest signal-to-noise ratio was achieved with serum CTX, and was 2-fold higher than that on serum NTX. Inhibition for serum NTX and CTX, and urinary NTX/creatinine and CTX/creatinine by ONO-5334 were all correlated with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.55 to 0.80. In conclusion, data of ONO-5334 slow-releasing tablets in postmenopausal women were well fitted in Emax model. In all measured telopeptides, the maximal inhibition was obtained at urinary CTX/creatinine level, but serum CTX had the highest signal-to-noise ratio. Inhibition for all measured telopeptides by ONO-5334 were all correlated. The estimated half maximal effective plasma concentrations were not significantly different between all measured telopeptides.

Abstract
The bone is a metabolically active organ which undergoes repeated remodeling cycles of bone resorption and formation. In this study, we revealed a robust and extremely long-lasting circadian rhythm in ex vivo culture maintained for over six months from the femoral bone of a PERIOD2(Luciferase) mouse. Furthermore, we also identified robust circadian clocks in flat bones. High- or low-magnification real-time bioluminescence microscopic imaging revealed that the robust circadian rhythms emanated from the articular cartilage and the epiphyseal cartilage within the growth plate of juvenile animals. Stimulation by forskolin or dexamethasone treatment caused type 0 phase resetting, indicating canonical entraining properties of the bone clock. Together, our findings from long-term ex vivo culture revealed that "tissue-autonomous" circadian rhythm in the articular cartilage and the growth plate of femoral bone functions for several months even in an organ culture condition, and provided a useful in vitro assay system investigating the role of the biological clock in bone formation or development.

Abstract
Biological phenomena that exhibit periodic activity are often referred as biorhythms or biological clocks. Among these, circadian rhythms, cyclic patterns reflecting a 24-h cycle, are the most obvious in many physiological activities including bone growth and metabolism. In the late 1990s, several clock genes were isolated and their primary structures and functions were identified. The feedback loop model of transcriptional factors was proposed to work as a circadian core oscillator not only in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus, which is recognized as the mammalian central clock, but also in various peripheral tissues including cartilage and bone. Looking back to embryonic development, the fundamental architecture of skeletal patterning is regulated by ultradian clocks that are defined as biorhythms that cycle more than once every 24 h. As post-genomic approaches, transcriptome analysis by micro-array and bioimaging assays to detect luminescent and fluorescent signals have been exploited to uncover a more comprehensive set of genes and spatio-temporal regulation of the clockwork machinery in animal models. In this review paper, we provide an overview of topics related to these molecular clocks in skeletal biology and medicine, and discuss how fluorescence imaging approaches can contribute to widening our views of this realm of biomedical science.

Abstract
Serum CTX assays measure a fragment of the C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen released during resorption of mature bone. Assay reagents are available in manual and automated formats and give good analytical performance. However their standardisation is not transparent and significant differences in results between methods have been demonstrated. CTX is most stable in EDTA plasma, although serum samples processed promptly would be satisfactory. sCTX shows a profound circadian rhythm, especially in non-fasting subjects; specimens should be collected from fasting patients at a well-defined time of day to minimise biological variation. Reference intervals in pre-menopausal women have been well studied but in other adult groups there is less information. Healthy children show the expected age-related variation corresponding to growth rate. Serum CTX fulfils or partially fulfils all the criteria of a reference bone turnover marker. Further studies aimed at reducing inter-method differences in results and establishing the relationships of sCTX with fracture risk and with fracture risk improvement with treatment are required.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different modes of single-bout exercise would cause different responses in short-term bone metabolism. 24 untrained male college students (19.1 ± 0.1 years old) were recruited and randomly assigned to three groups: (1) a single-bout plyometric exercise group (the PL group, n = 8), (2) a 200-meter × 10 intermittent running group (the IR group, n = 8) and (3) a sedentary control group, which followed the same time schedule of experimentation without performing any exercise (the CON group, n = 8). Serial blood samples were collected before (baseline) and 5 min, 15 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after exercise trials. Within 15 min of exercise, the PL and IR groups showed significantly higher serum phosphorus than did the control group (P < 0.05). Osteocalcin levels were significantly higher in the PL group at 5 min and 1 h after exercise (P < 0.05), while serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) showed no differences among groups. Exercises with different mechanical impact levels responded differently in serum bone formation markers as shown by osteocalcin. Because the increase in osteocalcin in the PL group was revealed shortly after the exercise bout, the changes might due to an exercise-induced mechanical impact rather than bone cellular activities.

Abstract
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have been proved effective in the prevention of osteoporosis both experimentally and clinically. Chronotherapy studies have shown that circadian rhythm (CR) played an important role in the occurrence, development and treatment of several diseases. CR has also been recognized as an essential feature of bone metabolism. Therefore, it is of therapeutic significance to investigate the impact of CR on the efficacy of PEMF in the prevention of osteoporosis. However, this issue has never been discussed previously. The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the impact of CR on the preventive effect of PEMF on osteoporosis in rats. Thirty-two 3 month old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four different groups: sham-operated control (Sham), ovariectomy (OVX), OVX with PEMF stimulation in daytime (OVX+DPEMF) and OVX with PEMF stimulation in nighttime (OVX+NPEMF) groups. The OVX+DPEMF and OVX+NPEMF groups were subjected to daily PEMF exposure on the 2nd post-operative day, from 9:00 to 15:00, and 0:00 to 6:00, respectively. After 12 weeks, the OVX+DPEMF group presented better efficacy in prevention against OVX-induced bone loss and deterioration of trabecular bone architecture compared with the OVX+NPEMF group. This was evidenced by the increased levels of femoral bone mineral density, trabecular area percentage, trabecular thickness, trabecular number and decreased trabecular separation. Furthermore, the bone turnover biomarkers (serum alkaline phosphatase, serum bone Gla protein and urinary deoxypyridinoline) and the dynamic histomorphometric parameters reflecting the trabecular osteoblast and osteoclast activity (bone formation rate with bone volume as referent, osteoclast number, etc.) in the OVX+DPEMF group decreased to a larger extent compared with the OVX+NPEMF group. In conclusion, the results indicated that CR was an important factor determining the preventive effect of PEMF on osteoporosis and PEMF exposure in the daytime presented better stimulus efficacy in rats. The findings might be helpful for the efficacious use of PEMF mediations, evaluation of PEMF action and experimental design in the future studies of biological effect of electromagnetic fields.

Abstract
Objective.To test the OMERACT 8 draft validation criteria for soluble biomarkers by assessing the strength of literature evidence in support of 5 candidate biomarkers.Methods.A systematic literature search was conducted on the 5 soluble biomarkers RANKL, osteoprotegerin (OPG), matrix metalloprotease (MMP-3), urine C-telopeptide of types I and II collagen (U-CTX-I and U CTX-II), focusing on the 14 OMERACT 8 criteria. Two electronic voting exercises were conducted to address: (1) strength of evidence for each biomarker as reflecting structural damage according to each individual criterion and the importance of each individual criterion; (2) overall strength of evidence in support of each of the 5 candidate biomarkers as reflecting structural damage endpoints in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and identification of omissions to the criteria set.Results.The search identified 111 articles. The strength of evidence in support of these biomarkers reflecting structural damage was low for all biomarkers and was rated highest for U-CTX-II [score of 6.5 (numerical rating scale 0–10)]. The lowest scores for retention of specific criteria in the draft set went to criteria that refer to the importance of animal studies, correlations with other biomarkers reflecting damage, and an understanding of the metabolism of the biomarker.Conclusion.Evidence in support of any of the 5 tested biomarkers (MMP-3, CTX-I, CTX-II, OPG, RANKL) was inadequate to allow their substitution for radiographic endpoints in RA. Three of the criteria in the draft criteria set might not be required, but few omissions were identified.

Abstract
While bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the primary method of determining fracture risk, assessing bone turnover may add valuable information for the management of patients with low bone mass. Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are used in clinical trials where they can provide essential information on the biological efficacy of osteoporosis treatments. In such population-based studies, BTMs can predict fracture risk independent of BMD. When combined with BMD, they improve the fracture risk estimate above and beyond BMD alone in postmenopausal osteoporotic women. Since changes in bone turnover after the initiation of therapy with bone resorption inhibitors occur much more rapidly than changes in BMD, treatment efficacy could, in theory, be determined within weeks of using BTMs. However, such predictive value is limited by the large biological variability of these biochemical markers, even though newer automated methods have reduced their analytical variability. Consequently, widespread adoption as a means of predicting treatment efficacy in fracture prevention for individual patients cannot yet be recommended. BTMs may be useful for monitoring adherence to antiresorptive therapy and may aid in identifying patients for whom antiresorptive therapy is most appropriate. Thus, although BTMs are currently confined to clinical research applications, further improvement in assay precision may extend their diagnostic value in clinical settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim was to analyse data on the use of biochemical bone turnover markers (BTM) in postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS We carried out a comparative analysis of the most important papers concerning BTM in postmenopausal osteoporosis that have been published recently. RESULTS The BTM levels are influenced by several factors. They are moderately correlated with BMD and subsequent bone loss. Increased levels of bone resorption markers are associated with a higher risk of fracture. Changes in the BTM during the anti-osteoporotic treatment (including combination therapy) reflect the mechanisms of action of the drugs and help to establish their effective doses. Changes in the BTM during the anti-resorptive treatment are correlated with their anti-fracture efficacy. CONCLUSION Biological samples should be obtained in a standardised way. BTM cannot be used for prediction of the accelerated bone loss at the level of the individual. BTM help to detect postmenopausal women who are at high risk of fracture; however, adequate practical guidelines are lacking. BTM measurements taken during the anti-resorptive therapy help to identify non-compliers. They may improve adherence to the anti-resorptive therapy and the fall in the BTM levels that exceeds the predefined threshold improves patients' persistence with the treatment. There are no guidelines concerning the use of BTM in monitoring anti-osteoporotic therapy in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastases are prevalent among patients with advanced solid tumors. Metastatic bone disease alters bone homeostasis, resulting in reduced bone integrity and, consequently, increased skeletal complications. Biochemical markers of bone metabolism may meet an unmet need for useful, noninvasive, and sensitive surrogate information for following patients' skeletal health. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data for this review were identified by searches of PubMed, and references from relevant articles using the search terms "bone markers" or individual bone marker nomenclature, "cancer," and "metastases." Abstracts and reports from meetings were included only when they related directly to previously published work. Only papers published in English between 1990 and 2007 were included. RESULTS Recent retrospective analyses with bisphosphonates, and particularly with zoledronic acid, have shown significant correlations between biochemical markers of bone metabolism levels and clinical outcomes, especially for bone resorption markers. Clinical results for biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption and other emerging markers of bone metabolism including bone sialoprotein, receptor-activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand, osteoprotegerin, and other markers are presented. However, biochemical markers of bone metabolism are not yet an established surrogate endpoint for treatment efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Biochemical markers of bone metabolism may allow physicians to identify which patients with metastatic bone disease are at high risk for skeletal-related events or death and who may be responding to therapy. Prospective randomized clinical trials are underway to further assess the utility of markers of bone metabolism in patients with bone metastases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The genes encoding the core circadian transcription factors display an oscillating expression profile in murine calvarial bone. More than 26% of the calvarial bone transcriptome exhibits a circadian rhythm, comparable with that observed in brown and white adipose tissues and liver. Thus, circadian mechanisms may directly modulate oxidative phosphorylation and multiple metabolic pathways in bone homeostasis. INTRODUCTION Although circadian rhythms have been associated historically with central regulatory mechanisms, there is emerging evidence that the circadian transcriptional apparatus exists in peripheral tissues. The aim of this study was to determine the presence and extent of circadian oscillation in the transcriptome of murine calvarial bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cohorts of 8-week-old male AKR/J mice were maintained in a controlled 12-h light:12-h dark cycle on an ad libitum diet for 2 weeks. Groups of three mice were killed every 4 h over a 48-h period. The level of gene expression at successive times-points was determined by quantitative RT-PCR and Affymetrix microarray. Data were analyzed using multiple statistical time series algorithms, including Cosinor, Fisher g-test, and the permutation time test. RESULTS Both the positive (Bmal1, Npas2) and negative (Cry1, Cry2, Per1, Per2, Per3) elements of the circadian transcriptional apparatus and their immediate downstream targets and mediators (Dbp, Rev-erbalpha, Rev-erbbeta) exhibited oscillatory expression profiles. Consistent with findings in other tissues, the positive and negative elements were in antiphase relative to each other. More than 26% of the genes present on the microarray displayed an oscillatory profile in calvarial bone, comparable with the levels observed in brown and white adipose tissues and liver; however, only a subset of 174 oscillating genes were shared among all four tissues. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that the components of the circadian transcriptional apparatus are represented in calvarial bone and display coordinated oscillatory behavior. However, these are not the only genes to display an oscillatory expression profile, which is seen in multiple pathways involving oxidative phosphorylation and lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract
Biomarkers of skeletal turnover, such as the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix molecules in specific tissues, offer the opportunity to gain new insights into spinal pathology and treatment. The creation, use, and interpretation of these analytical body-fluid measures of process (rather than outcome) require a clear understanding of the nature of the molecules and events being measured. This review provides examples of how protein and carbohydrate assays of biomarkers can be used to measure the contribution from the intervertebral discs and vertebrae of the spine. With regard to spinal degeneration and ankylosing spondylitis, these investigations are providing important new information, in weeks rather than years, on the response of patients to treatment.

Abstract
Studies in humans have found circadian changes to be one of the most important sources of controllable preanalytical variability when evaluating bone cell activity using biochemical markers. It remains unclear whether similar circadian changes influence bone marker concentrations in the horse. The aim of this study was to characterize changes in serum concentrations of three biochemical markers of bone cell activity over a 24-h period in six 2-yr-old Thoroughbred mares, and to determine circadian variability in IGF-I, which regulates bone turnover. Three bone markers were measured in serum: osteocalcin, a marker of bone formation, the carboxy-terminal propeptide of type-I collagen (a marker of bone formation), and the carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (a marker of bone resorption). Data were analyzed using the cosinor technique, which fits a 24-h cycle to each dataset. A significant circadian rhythm was observed for osteocalcin (P = 0.028), with an estimated amplitude of 7.6% of the mean (95% confidence interval 1.3% to 16.3%), and an estimated peak time of 0900. However, the observed rhythm for the carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (amplitude = 7.4%) was not significant (P = 0.067), and there were no significant changes in concentrations of the carboxy-terminal propeptide of type-I collagen over the 24-h study period (P = 0.44). There was a small but significant circadian rhythm for IGF-I (P = 0.04), with an estimated amplitude of 3.4% (95% confidence interval 0.2 to 7.1%) and peak at 1730. Further studies are now required to determine the potential association between circadian changes in IGF-I and osteocalcin in the horse. Although no significant circadian variation was found in concentrations of the car-boxy-terminal propeptide of type-I collagen and the carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen, this may in part be a result of the age of the animals that were still skeletally immature. Future studies should aim to determine whether these markers develop a circadian rhythm at a later age when growth is complete. In the meantime, consistency in time of sampling should continue to be considered best practice when measuring biochemical markers of bone turnover in the horse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a human assay for quantification of carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), assess the influence of age on plasma CTX-I concentration, investigate the relationship between plasma CTX-I and serum osteocalcin concentrations, and determine whether concentrations of plasma CTX-I or serum osteocalcin fluctuate in circadian manner in horses. HORSES: 75 clinically normal horses. PROCEDURE Cross-reactivity between equine serum CTX-I and CTX-I antibodies in an automated electrochemiluminescent sandwich antibody assay (ECLIA) was evaluated via a specificity test (ie, dilution test) and recovery calculation. Serum osteocalcin concentration was measured with an equine-specific osteocalcin radioimmunoassay. To analyze diurnal variations in plasma CTX-I and serum osteocalcin concentrations, blood samples were obtained hourly during a 24-hour period. RESULTS Results of the dilution test indicated good correlation (r > 0.99) between expected serum CTX-I concentrations and measured serum CTX-I concentrations. The calculated CTX-I recovery was 97.6% to 109.9%. Plasma CTX-I and serum osteocalcin concentrations were correlated. Plasma CTX-I concentration was inversely correlated with age of the horse. No significant circadian variations in plasma CTX-I and serum osteocalcin concentrations were detected. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggest that the fully automated CTX-I ECLIA can be used for evaluation of plasma and serum samples from horses and may be a useful tool to monitor bone metabolism changes. Horses in this study did not have notable diurnal fluctuations in serum osteocalcin and plasma CTX-I concentrations.

Abstract
We have previously shown that a subcutaneous injection of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) at 9 a.m. in fasting postmenopausal women results in a dose-dependent decrease in the serum concentration of fragments derived from the degradation of the C-terminal telopeptide region of collagen type I (s-CTX), a marker of bone resorption. In contrast, GLP-2 was found to have a neutral effect on bone formation, as assessed by serum osteocalcin. Since increased s-CTX levels are normally observed at night, we conducted bedtime studies in healthy postmenopausal women. The objective was to study the effect of GLP-2 injection on bone turnover given at bedtime. A total of 81 postmenopausal women were included in two randomised placebo-controlled studies. In conclusion, we found a dose-related reduction of s-CTX after injection of GLP-2 (P < 0.05) and osteocalcin levels was increased as compared to placebo (P = 0.07) by the treatment, suggestive of a stimulative effect on bone formation. An area under the curve (AUC0-10 h) analysis for s-CTX after GLP-2 injection confirmed the dose-related decrease as compared to placebo (P < 0.05).

Abstract
The objective of the study was to explore the influence of menstrual irregularities, oral contraceptives and smoking on bone mineral density (BMD) development and bone turnover with time. Healthy young women (n = 118) were divided into four categories: (a) women neither smoking nor using oral contraceptives; (b) women who were smokers; (c) women using oral contraceptives; (d) women who were smoking and using oral contraceptives. They responded to a validated questionnaire with 34 questions concerning lifestyle and the Sense of Coherence scale (SOC). BMD was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Deoxypyridinoline (DPD) was measured in urine. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. Among smokers, BMD level decreased during a 2-year period and smoking was associated with a larger negative change in BMD. Use of oral contraceptives moderated the negative impact of smoking. Women using oral contraceptives at baseline and with regular bleeding induced by contraceptive pills had a significantly higher BMD at baseline and at follow-up. They also had lower SOC than women who had natural regular bleedings. Use of oral contraceptives in combination with smoking was linked to high alcohol consumption and higher frequency of self-reported body weight reduction, which reduced the negative BMD change in this category. DPD level and difference were strongly associated with estrogen influence. It is concluded that smokers without OCs had a negative BMD development and BMD in young women with irregular menstruations seems to be improved by OC.

Abstract
Circadian rhythmicity is an essential feature of bone metabolism. The present study was undertaken to (Aoshima et al., 1998) determine the changes in bone resorption and formation in rats over 24h, (Black et al., 1999) evaluate the effect of the consecutive administration of etidronate on circadian rhythms of serum bone markers, and (Blumsohn et al., 1994) determine whether the effect of etidronate on bone metabolism is circadian time-dependent. One hundred twenty male Wistar rats, which had been adapted to a 12/12h light/dark cycle, were injected subcutaneously once daily with either 0.5 mgP/kg etidronate or 0.9% NaCl (control group) at 0090, 1300, 1700, 2100, 0100, or 0500h for 10d. Serum was collected and tibiae were dissected 24h after the last injection. Serum pyridinoline (Pyd), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), osteocalcin (OC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (Pi), calcitonin (CT), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were determined. Bone mineral density (BMD) in the proximal tibia, and the rate of formation of longitudinal trabecular bone over the past 48h were also determined using a chronological labeling method with NTA-Pb. The results showed characteristic circadian rhythms in serum bone markers in rats, with peaks in both bone resorption and bone formation during the animals' rest span. The administration of etidronate at the different times of the day decreased the level of bone-resorption markers (Pyd and TRAP) without affecting the circadian patterns of markers of bone formation (OC and ALP). However, the magnitude of the decrease due to etidronate was not uniform throughout the day, and was greatest during the daytime. Etidronate increased the BMD in the tibial metaphysis in all of the time-treatment groups, but the magnitude of the increase did not vary with the time of etidronate administration. The present data provide a physiological basis for future studies on bone metabolism and may be important in the design of future experiments and in the interpretation of experimental data.

Abstract
To investigate day-to-day biological change of biochemical makers of bone turnover, we measured eight markers for 5 days in 10 healthy women. They aged 26-41 years (mean age; 31.1 years old), and had regular menstrual cycles. Fasting second void urine and blood was collected from them on five successive days. As serum marker, Estradiol (E2), intact PTH (i-PTH), Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and serum C-telopeptide (S-CTX) were measured. As urinary markers, urinary CTX (U-CTX), N-telopeptide (NTX), pyridinoline (Pyr) and deoxypyridinoline (Dpyr) were measured. Day-to-day physiological variations were different between bone markers. Variability of serum markers was less than that of urinary markers. Moreover, in the comparison of the same molecular marker, CTX, the variability of S-CTX was less than U-CTX. One should consider physiological variation of the marker to evaluate whether the change of the biochemical marker of bone turnover is significant or not.

Abstract
AbstractBackground: Pyridinoline (PYD) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) are two of the most extensively characterized biochemical bone markers, but the interpretation of results is hampered by biologic and other preanalytical variability. We reviewed factors contributing to preanalytical variation of pyridinium cross-links in urine.Methods: We searched four databases for English-language reports on PYD and/or DPD in urine. Searches were restricted to humans, except for studies of stability, when the search was expanded to other species. The 599 identified articles were supplemented with references from those articles and with articles known to the authors.Results: The mean reported within-day variability was 71% for PYD (range, 57–78%) and 67% for DPD (range, 53–75%). The mean interday variability was 16% for both DPD and PYD (range for PYD, 12–21%; range for DPD, 5–24%). The mean intersubject variabilities across studies were 26% for PYD (range, 12–63%) and 34% for DPD (range, 8–98%) for healthy premenopausal women and 36% (range, 22–61%) and 40%, (range, 27–54%) for postmenopausal women, respectively. Specimen instability and errors in creatinine measurements were additional sources of variability.Conclusions: Intra- and intersubject variability can be reduced by collecting specimens at a specific time of the day and by maintaining similar patient status at each specimen collection regarding factors such as medications and dietary supplements.

Abstract
In this study we assessed the within and between-subject variability of the concentrations of two urinary markers, free deoxypyridinoline (DPD) and C telopeptide (CTX-I), in healthy patients with the aim of setting reliable thresholds to enable physicians to take decisions about individual patients with confidence.Between-subject variability for the women was 25.4% for DPD and 38.2% for CTX-I, and for the men was 12.9% for DPD and 23.8% for CTX-I. The coefficients of variation were similar for daily, weekly and monthly determinations, giving means of 13.8 and 28.1% for DPD and CTX-I respectively. Critical difference (CD) was lower for DPD than for CTX-I (about 44 and 80% respectively). The number of samples required to determine the true mean with a CD at the 5% level was 29 for DPD and more than 113 for CTX-I.DPD was the least biologically variable. One determination was not sufficient to determine bone resorption status and a 44% decrease in DPD levels and an 80% decrease in CTX-I levels were required to demonstrate the efficacy of antiresorptive therapy in individual patients.

Abstract
We report the development of an assay for measurement of the urinary concentration of collagen type II C-telopeptide fragments. This assay was developed for providing a specific marker of joint metabolism. A monoclonal antibody, recognizing a linear six amino acid epitope from the middle region of the collagen type II C-telopeptide was used in a competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) format for measurement of urine samples. The technical performance and specificity of the assay was evaluated and a panel of samples from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (n = 27), osteoarthritis (OA) (n = 29), Paget's disease (n = 9), and healthy controls (n = 428) was measured in the assay. The ELISA was specific for the peptide EKGPDP derived from collagen type II C-telopeptide: it did not recognize peptides from the N-telopeptide of the molecule or from other collagen types. Collagen type II C-telopeptide fragments measured in the assay resisted seven freeze-thaw cycles and >20 h of storage at room temperature. RA and OA patients showed significant 2.33-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.50-3.16) and 1.53-fold (CI 1.24-1.82) elevations in CartiLaps concentration, respectively. Paget's disease patients did not have elevated CartiLaps levels. RA patients with radiological evidence of cartilage damage had significantly higher (1.79-fold, CI 1.04-2.54) CartiLaps levels than RA patients without radiological evidence of cartilage destruction. The Cartilaps assay showed high technical precision and an ability to differentiate populations with an elevated joint metabolism from normal controls. This suggests that the assay may have clinical value in assisting in the diagnosis of joint diseases and in monitoring progression and therapy in RA and OA.

Abstract
In this study we evaluated the routine practice and clinical application of serum crosslaps to urinary-crosslaps, -N-telopeptide-related fraction of type 1 collagen, -deoxpyridinoline, -totalpyridinoline and serum osteocalcin. The utility of both the serum and urine immunoassays for bone formation and resorption marker were tested in a cohort of 593 female and male patients from our outpatient clinic for osteology and rheumatology and compared to important osteoporosis risk factors like age, gender, E2 deficiency, bone density and chronic renal failure. The biochemical maker of bone formation, serum osteocalcin exhibit significant correlations to all five tested serum and urinary markers of bone resorption (p < 0.0001) crosswise to all different groups of patients. The group of chronic renal failure patients showed no significant correlation between the tested bone turnover parameters and the serum creatinine level except a significant increase and correlation for serum crosslaps and for the ratio of serum and urinary crosslaps. Associations between the age of the patients and the markers of bone turnover were rather poor. We found a significant, negative association between serum and urinary bone turnover markers and bone density and were interested, whether in patients with bone density < 2.5 SD an enhanced bone turnover could be detected in the same way as for E2 deficiency. Applying a discriminant analysis it was possible to discriminate between the patient with BD < 2.5 SD and those with BD > 1.0 SD with a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 65% using serum crosslaps. In case of urinary crosslaps the discriminatory power was slightly lower (sensitivity: 65.6%, specificity: 67.5%) and for serum osteocalcin the discriminatory power was negligible higher (sensitivity: 79%, specificity: 56%). The highly significant correlation between the urinary and serum crosslinked peptides by ELISA and serum osteocalcin supports the concept that these respective indices of bone formation and resorption both in urine and serum reflect a coupled process in vivo with sensitivity and specificity to pathological bone density, estrogen deficiency and chronic renal failure.

Abstract
In this study we evaluated the effect of short-term hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on bone formation (serum osteocalcin) and resorption markers (urinary type I collagen peptides (crosslaps), urinary total free pyridinoline (TPYRI) and urinary free deoxypyridinoline (DPYRI)) as well as female sex hormones (serum estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)) in a group of early postmenopausal women with severe estrogen deficiency. The 46 healthy postmenopausal women with serum estradiol levels < 10 ng/l were subsequently divided into two groups, according to their compliance with HRT. In the group taking HRT significant changes from baseline values could be observed in estradiol, FSH, urinary crosslaps and serum osteocalcin levels after 6 months, whereas no changes could be observed in LH, TPYRI and DPYRI from baseline values. In the group which refused HRT all values were increased relative to baseline values, indicating increased bone turnover. Serum osteocalcin and urinary crosslaps were significantly decreased in women taking HRT in comparison to the group refusing HRT. After 6 months the treated patients showed a decrease in urinary crosslaps of 42% (SD 12%) and in serum osteocalcin of 24% (SD 6%) in comparison with baseline values. In patients who refused HRT, urinary crosslaps were increased by 43% (SD 20%) and serum osteocalcin levels decreased by 2% (SD 9%) compared to baseline values. In postmenopausal women suffering from severe estrogen deficiency (estradiol < 10 ng/l) serum osteocalcin and urinary crosslaps are significantly increased, indicating a clear correlation between estrogen deficiency and an increase in bone resorption as well as bone formation. The recommended HRT dose was sufficient to reduce the rate of bone turnover to premenopausal values. Serum osteocalcin and urinary crosslaps are suitable candidates not only for the assessment of a high postmenopausal bone turnover, but also for monitoring the response to and for verifying the actual intake of HRT or other antiresorptive treatment.

Abstract
We report the predictive value for hip fracture of a new marker of bone resorption, serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), measured on a new automated analyzer, Elecsys. Baseline urinary and serum samples from 212 patients who subsequently had a hip fracture and from 642 controls were analyzed in a nested case control study within the EPIDOS prospective cohort. Each fracture patient was matched with three control patients of the same age who did not fracture. Mean follow-up was 3.3 years (maximum 4.9 years). We measured urinary CTX, urinary free deoxypyridinoline, and serum CTX. Urinary markers were assessed to know whether the magnitude of prediction of hip fracture by this serum marker was similar compared with that given by urinary markers. In the whole group, serum CTX was not predictive of hip fracture risk. When the analysis was restricted to samples taken in the early afternoon (between 1 and 2 P.M.), representing 115 fracture cases and 293 controls, serum CTX was significantly predictive with a relative hazard of 1.86 (95% confidence interval 1.01-3.76) for values above the premenopausal range (mean + 2 SD). For comparison, in the whole group, the relative hazard for fracture of women having a T-score >/= 2 for urinary CTX and free deoxypyridinoline was 1.67 (1.19-2.32), and 2. 07 (1.49-2.9), respectively. Serum CTX from morning samples did not predict hip fractures probably because it was not controlled for time and fasting/nonfasting state. We conclude that serum CTX sampled under controlled conditions significantly predicts the subsequent risk of hip fracture in ambulatory elderly women, with the same magnitude as urinary markers of resorption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Collagen cross-links are formed during the maturation process of bone matrix. They have been considered as valuable markers in some metabolic, endocrinologic, and neoplastic bone disorders. As an advantage, it can be measured in urine as well as in serum samples. However, the excretion characteristics remains controversial. DESIGN AND METHODS We investigated urinary free deoxypyridinoline (f-Dpd) excretion in first-void urine samples and in 24-hour collections in healthy Turkish children. We also evaluated the possible correlations and gender-related differences in Dpd excretion between these sampling methods. Both urine samples of 62 subjects (aged from 31 to 120 months) were analyzed by Immulite chemiluminescent technique. RESULTS There were no remarkable differences in f-Dpd excretion between first-void and 24-hour urine samples, although f-Dpd values of the first-void samples were slightly higher (Dpd: creatinine, mean +/- SD, 20.5 +/- 5.8 nmol/mmol vs. 19.6 +/- 5.6 nmol/mmol, respectively, p > 0.05). A strong linear correlation was found between 24-hour and first-void urine f-Dpd excretions (r = 0.77, p < 0.05). In addition, f-Dpd showed no gender-related differences between boys and girls in either 24-hour or first-void urine samples (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Because of difficulties in long-time urine collection in infants and young children, f-Dpd assessment in first-void single urine samples is an easy, safe, and non-invasive method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcium is a major component of mineralized tissues and is required for normal growth and maintenance of bone. Epidemiologic studies showed that a large percentage of the population fails to meet the currently recommended guidelines for optimal calcium intake. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to determine whether high-calcium mineral water is an efficient additional source of dietary calcium. DESIGN Twelve healthy young men (mean +/- SD age: 21.1 +/- 1.2 y) ingested in a randomized order either 0.5 L of a mineral water containing 344 mg Ca/L or 0.5 L of a mineral water with a very low concentration of calcium (<10 mg/L) as a control. Blood samples were drawn before and 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after intake of the water. Urine was collected for 2 h before and every 2 h for 4 h after ingestion of the water. Serum concentrations of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and serum concentrations and urinary excretion of a recently developed biochemical marker of bone resorption, type 1 collagen cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTx), were measured. RESULTS Serum iPTH was significantly (P < 0.002) lower after ingestion of high-calcium water than after ingestion of the control. There was a significant (P = 0.01) progressive decrease in urinary CTx after ingestion of the high-calcium water, whereas after ingestion of low-calcium water the changes were modest and not significant. The fall in serum CTx concentrations was 34.7% 3 h after ingestion of high-calcium water, compared with 17.6% with the control. The decreases in serum CTx concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) lower 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after ingestion of high-calcium water than after ingestion of the control. CONCLUSION The present study showed that one oral intake of water containing a very moderate dose of calcium (172 mg) acutely inhibited iPTH secretion and bone resorption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted in order to describe the variations and circadian rhythm of biochemical markers of bone remodelling at baseline and after weight gain in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). SUBJECTS We studied 9 women (mean age 21 years, range: 16-30) with established AN who remained amenorrhoeic during the study and with a low body mass index (BMI) after refeeding and 6 female controls (mean age 20 years, range, 18-24 and BMI: 20.6 +/- 1.1 kg/m2). Refeeding was not associated with any other intervention or treatment, especially oestrogen replacement or hormonal contraception. Serum levels of oestradiol remained below 70 pmol/l before and after refeeding. MEASUREMENTS During the study, PTH and 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurements were performed. Markers of bone formation: serum intact osteocalcin (iBGP) and serum intact BGP + fragments (iBGP+F) and markers of bone resorption: urine C-teloptide of type I collagen (uCTX) and serum C-telopeptide ofvtype 1 collagen (s-CTX) were measured. RESULTS At baseline, PTH and 25 OH-vitamin D concentrations were within the normal range in AN patients and no significant variation was observed after refeeding. Bone formation markers were found to be significantly different at baseline between AN patients and controls. After refeeding, iBGP and iBGP+F levels increased by 172% and 154%, respectively, to values no different from controls. Intact BGP and iBGP+F exhibited a significant circadian variation in controls (P < 0.05 and P < 0.002, respectively), whereas we did not find any such circadian rhythm in AN patients. After refeeding no significant circadian variation was observed; however, iGBP+F tended to peak in early morning and exhibited a nadir in the afternoon. At baseline, sCTX was 2-fold higher in AN patients than in controls. After weight gain sCTX decreased significantly and reached control values. Refeeding induced a non-significant 40% decrease in uCTX. We found positive correlations between uCTX and the 24-h mean value of sCTX levels (r2 = 0.93, P < 0.0001) and between uCTX and the mean value of sCTX peak levels at 0800 h (r2 = 0.65, P < 0.0003). Serum CTX exhibited a significant circadian variation in controls (P < 0.001) with a peak at 0800 h and a nadir at 1600 h with a 60% decrease between peak and nadir values. We found that anorexia nervosa suppressed the sCTX circadian variation which was restored by refeeding. We found a significant non-linear relationship between BMI and sCTX/iBGP ratio in AN (r2 = 0.6, P < 0.0001), thus illustrating the influence of nutritional status on bone remodelling. CONCLUSIONS In this study we found that weight gain, related to refeeding only, reversed the anorexia nervosa-induced uncoupling of bone remodelling and restored circadian variation of a bone resorption marker.

Abstract
The ability of biochemical markers to predict the rate of postmenopausal bone loss is still controversial. To investigate this issue further, baseline levels of a panel of specific and sensitive biochemical bone markers were correlated to the rate of change of forearm bone mineral density (BMD) assessed by four measurements over a 4-year period using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in a large population-based prospective cohort of 305 women aged 50-88 years (mean 64 years), 1-38 years postmenopausal. In the whole population, higher baseline levels of bone formation (serum osteocalcin and serum type I collagen N-terminal propeptide) and bone resorption markers (urinary N-telopeptides; urinary and serum C-telopeptides) were significantly associated with faster BMD loss (r = -0.19 to -0.30, p < 0.001), independently of age. In women within 5 years of menopause that have the highest rate of bone loss, the predictive value of bone markers was increased with correlation coefficients reaching 0.53. Women with an abnormally high bone turnover, i.e., with levels of bone markers at baseline 2 SD above the mean of premenopausal women, had a rate of bone loss that was 2- to 6-fold higher than women with a low turnover (p = 0.01-0.0001) according to the marker. When the population was categorized according to quartiles of bone markers at baseline, a similar relationship between increased levels of bone markers and faster rate of bone loss was found (p = 0.008-0.0001). In the logistic regression model, the odds-ratio of fast bone loss, defined as the rate of bone loss in the upper tertile of the population, was increased by 1.8- to 3.2-fold for levels of biochemical markers in the high turnover group compared with levels within the premenopausal range, with, however, a limited value for identifying individual fast bone losers. We conclude that increased levels of some of the new biochemical markers of bone turnover are associated with greater radial bone loss. Because increased bone loss is associated with an increased risk of fracture, bone turnover markers may be useful to improve the prediction of the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Biochemical markers of bone turnover that are specific to bone allow study of the subtle changes in bone turnover associated with osteoporosis. They have been evaluated in Paget's disease of the bone and chronic renal failure. This review focuses on the use of biochemical markers of bone turnover in osteoporosis. The data in this review period are numerous and varied due to the growing interest in the use of biochemical markers of bone turnover in clinical practice. The data provide support for the use of the newer bone turnover markers for monitoring treatment of osteoporosis, if care is taken to minimize sources of variability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone resorption can be judged using biochemical markers in urine and blood. Our aim was to study the patterns of markers in the postmenopausal period. METHODS The urinary excretion of bone resorption markers was tested using different assays. The study was undertaken to determine the day-to-day and the long-term variation, over 8 years, of these markers in individual women. RESULTS Over a period of 2 weeks, the median of the day-to-day variation of the pyridinium crosslink markers varied between 12 and 23%, the median value of the long-term variation over 8 years between 10 and 21%, for the telopeptide markers median day-to-day variation was 18 and 20% and the long-term variation was 17 and 19%. The correlations between the different crosslink markers varied between 0.63 and 0.92, depending on the kind of the crosslink and on the method of determination. The two telopeptide markers showed an excellent correlation with r of 0.95. The excretion of all bone resorption markers varied with postmenopausal age, some differences were found between the crosslink and the telopeptide excretions with age, in women more than 20 years postmenopausal the telopeptides decrease whereas the crosslinks show an increase. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that crosslinks and telopeptides give similar information on the rate of bone resorption: an increase during the first 5 years and a slight decrease in the next 5 years after menopause, discrepancies were found after 10 or more postmenopausal years.
