Introduction Osteoporosis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are diseases that have serious public health consequences, reducing the quality of life of patients and increasing morbidity and mortality, with substantial healthcare expenditures. Objective To evaluate the impact of MetS on bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption in adolescents with excess weight. Method A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was performed that evaluated 271 adolescents of both sexes (10 to 16 years). From the total sample, 42 adolescents with excess weight and the presence of MetS (14%) were selected. A further 42 adolescents with excess weight and without MetS were chosen, matched for chronological age, bone age, and pubertal developmental criteria to those with MetS, for each sex. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure collection, and biochemical tests were performed in all adolescents, as well as evaluation of BMD and the bone biomarkers osteocalcin (OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and carboxy-terminal telopeptide (S-CTx). Results The adolescents with excess weight and MetS exhibited significantly lower transformed BMD and concentrations of BAP, OC, and S-CTx compared to the matched group, except for OC in boys. A negative and significant correlation was observed between total body BMD and BAP (r = -0.55568; p = 0.005), OC (r = -0.81760; p = < .000), and S-CTx (r = -0.53838; p = 0.011) in girls. Conclusion Metabolic syndrome may be associated with reduced bone mineral density and biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption in adolescents with excess weight.

The influence of general and local vibration on bone remodeling processes is investigated. The interrelations between the long - term exposure of industrial vibration and indicators of bone mineral density (T-and Z-criteria), biochemical markers of bone formation (osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase) and bone resorption (ionized calcium, calcium/creatinine) were established.

Abstract To compare the relative sensitivity and specificity of bone turnover indexes for bone loss or gain in early postmenopausal women, we performed a multicenter trial in 236 menopausal women (mean age, 51 yr), who were randomized to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or calcium supplementation (CS; 500 mg/day) for 1 yr. Two markers of bone formation, osteocalcin (OC) and bone alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), and two markers of bone resorption, urinary N-telopeptide (NTx) and urinary free deoxypyridinoline (fDpd), as well as spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) were measured at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Women receiving HRT (n = 105) showed a significant increase in spine BMD (+2.5%; P &lt; 0.0001) and hip BMD (+1.0%; P = 0.02) compared to women receiving CS, who showed a decline at both sites (−1.1%; P &lt; 0.01). All four markers showed time-dependent decreases in women receiving HRT (P &lt; 0.001) and no change in women receiving CS alone. When baseline indexes of turnover were stratified by quartile, there was a significantly greater increase in BMD among those with the highest NTx, OC, and BSAP levels compared to that in those with the lowest NTx, OC, and BSAP levels (P &lt; 0.05). The highest quartile for percent change from baseline to 6 months in fDpd, BSAP, and NTx was also associated with the greatest change in spine BMD at 1 yr. Receiver operator characteristic curves for percent change from baseline to 6 months in an individual marker to 1 yr change in BMD during HRT revealed that the percent change in NTx provided the greatest discrimination between gain and loss of BMD. When subjects receiving HRT were compared by their positive or negative skeletal response at 1 yr and their baseline turnover marker, initial NTx values were significantly higher in those that gained bone than in those that lost bone (P = 0.0002). CS women in the highest quartile for NTx at baseline had significantly greater decreases in spine BMD than subjects with the lowest NTx values (P &lt; 0.005), although this was not true for fDpd (P &lt; 0.20). In conclusion, for early postmenopausal women there are differential responses of biochemical markers to HRT and CS. Baseline urinary NTx and serum OC were the most sensitive predictors of change in spine BMD after 1 yr of either HRT or CS. Similarly, the percent change in NTx and OC from baseline to 6 months best predicted bone gain or loss. We conclude that markers of bone formation and resorption can be used clinically to predict future BMD in early postmenopausal women.

abstract Context: Two common strategies are used to treat estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in women: tamoxifen to inhibit estrogen action, and aromatase inhibitors (AIs) to block estrogen biosynthesis. Recent data suggest that AIs are more effective than tamoxifen in the adjuvant and advanced disease settings and are now being more commonly used. Tamoxifen, as a selective estrogen receptor modulator, exerts estrogenic effects to preserve bone, whereas the AIs profoundly lower estrogen levels and cause bone loss. Recent comparative studies of these agents provide extensive data on fracture rates, bone mineral density, and markers of bone formation and resorption. Objective: The aim of the study was to review the mechanistic effects of estrogen on bone and clinical data regarding bone density, bone turnover markers, and fracture rates in women with breast cancer taking tamoxifen or AIs. Evidence Acquisition and Synthesis: Data presented reflect a review of the literature and data integration from the perspective of the author's knowledge of the field. Results: Tamoxifen increases bone density and reduces fractures in postmenopausal women with breast cancer, whereas AIs increase rate of fracture, accelerate loss of bone mineral density, and enhance levels of markers of bone formation and resorption. Bisphosphonates and denosumab counteract the effects of the AIs on bone. Guidelines for management of AI-induced bone loss are available from several sources, but a simple algorithm guides decision making most effectively. Conclusions: Endocrine therapy for postmenopausal women with breast cancer exerts substantial effects on bone, and guidelines are available to assist in the management of bone-related problems.
