Lumbal spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers [bone alkaline phosphatase (bALP), osteocalcin (OC), aminoterminal procollagen I propeptide, bone acid phosphatase (bACP), ß-crosslaps (CTX)], sex hormones [testosterone, estradiol (E2), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index (FAI), free estrogen index (FEI)], parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)] were determined in 39 men in age 42±10 years (33 with well renal function and 6 - with renal failure (RF) 44±26 months following KT receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy (CysA, prednisolone and azathioprine). Increased CTX, bACP, OC and decreased bALP so as BMD were associated in men following KT with low testosterone, SHBG and IGF-1 and high E2, OPG and PTH. There was more degree of bone turnover disturbances, decreased BMD, PTH hypersecretion and low FAI in RF. There were significant positive relationships between serum testosterone and E2, FEI and FAI, bALP and E2, bALP and FEI, femur BMD and FAI, femur BMD and FEI, OPG and E2, IGF-1 and PTH. There were significant inverse correlations between serum CTX and FAI, CTX and FEI, hip (spine) BMD and SHBG, hip (spine) BMD and PTH so as between PTH and FAI, PTH and FEI. So bone turnover disturbances, hip BMD losses and PTH hypersecretion in men at late time following KT associated with sex hormone deficiency. Predictor of high bone turnover and as vertebral as femur bone losses after KT besides PTH hypersecretion was serum SHBG. Decreased IGF-1 was the reason of bone forming suppression and possibly was following cyclosporine hepatotoxicity. OPG increasing was associated partly with high estradiol and was compensatory to attenuation of bone resorption and bone losses.

Objectives: As bone fragility is partly the result of sex hormone deficiency, we sought to determine whether circulating sex steroids or sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) predicts non-vertebral fractures. Methods: Forearm bone mineral density (BMD), total estradiol and testosterone, calculated free levels, and SHBG were measured in 1386 postmenopausal women and 1364 men aged 50–84 years at baseline in the Tromsø Study (1994–1995). Non-vertebral fractures were documented between 1994 and 2005. Results: During 8.4 years (range 0.01–10.4) of follow-up, 281 women and 105 men suffered non-vertebral fractures. For both sexes, fracture cases had lower BMD and higher SHBG, but sex steroids were not lower. Each standard deviation (s.d.) increase in SHBG increased non-vertebral fracture risk in women (hazards ratio (HR) 1.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03–1.33) and men (HR 1.26; 95% CI 1.03–1.54). After further adjustment for BMD, the risk was not statistically significant in women (HR 1.09; 95% CI 0.95–1.24) or men (HR 1.22; 95% CI 0.99–1.49). Each s.d. decrease in BMD increased fracture risk in women (HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.19–1.56) and men (HR 1.41; 95% CI 1.15–1.73). Fracture rates were highest in participants with SHBG in the highest tertile and BMD in the lowest tertile and were 37.9 and 17.0 per 1000 person-years in women and men respectively. However, in both sexes the combination of BMD and SHBG was no better predictor of fracture risk than BMD alone. Sex steroids were not associated with fracture risk. Conclusions: Measurements of sex steroids or SHBG are unlikely to assist in decision making regarding fracture risk susceptibility.

Background: The currently available bone turnover markers are mostly derived from osteoblasts or osteoclasts. Protein markers derived from osteocytes, the most abundant bone cells that can regulate bone turnover activities by other cells, are less explored. Objective: This study aimed to compare the circulating markers of osteocytes and calcium homeostasis between Malaysian postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis. Method: Postmenopausal women with (n=20) or without osteoporosis (n=20) as determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were randomly drawn from a bone health cohort. Their fasting blood was collected and assayed by a multiplex immunoassay panel. Results: The results showed that osteoprotegerin and sclerostin levels were significantly lower among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis than the normal control. No significant differences in other markers were observed between the two groups. Sclerostin level correlated positively with spine bone mineral density (BMD), while 25-hydroxyvitamin D correlated negatively with hip BMD in the control group. No significant correlation was observed between other markers with spine or hip BMD. Conclusion: These data provide an insight into the possible roles of osteocyte markers, especially osteoprotegerin and sclerostin in classifying subjects with osteoporosis. However, the lack of association between these markers and BMD indicates that osteoporosis is a complex and multifactorial condition.

Raloxifene HCl, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, has been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and decrease biochemical markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women without stimulatory effects on the breast and uterus. However, it is not known whether the changes in BMD and bone turnover are associated with changes at the tissue level, nor how changes with raloxifene compare with estrogen. In this randomized, double blind study, we evaluated the effects of raloxifene (Evista, 60 mg/day) or conjugated equine estrogens (CEE; Premarin, 0.625 mg/day) on bone architecture, bone turnover, and BMD. Iliac crest bone biopsies were obtained at baseline and at the end of the study after double tetracycline labeling and were analyzed for standard histomorphometric indexes. Serum and urinary biochemical markers of bone turnover were measured at baseline and at 4, 10, 18, and 24 weeks of treatment. Total body, lumbar spine, and hip BMD were measured at baseline and at the end of the study by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Activation frequency and bone formation rate/bone volume were significantly decreased from baseline in the CEE, but not in the raloxifene, group. Bone mineralization did not change in either group. Most markers of bone resorption and formation decreased in both groups, but to a greater degree in the CEE group (P < .05). Total body and lumbar spine BMD increased from baseline in both groups, with a greater increase in the CEE group (P< 0.05). Hip BMD significantly increased from baseline in the raloxifene group, but the change was not different from that in the CEE group. These results suggest that raloxifene reduces bone turnover and increases bone density, although to a lesser extent than CEE. Thus, raloxifene is an alternative to CEE for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
