Objectives: We assessed the implications of PINP (procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide), NTX (cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen), E2 (estradiol), calcium (Ca2+), phosphorus (PHOS(2−)), and their correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) in the process of bone remodeling of postmenopausal osteoporosis.Methods: The study was performed on two groups of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (with different degr...

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the implications of TRACP-5b (bone tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase izoform-5b), BAP (bone alkaline phophatase) BGP (bone Gla protein) and E2(estradiol) in bone remodelling process, in osteoporotic postmenopausal women.Material and method: The study comprised two groups of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (with different degrees of estrogenic deprivation): group I (n=48, estrogenic deprivation &#60...
