During childhood growth, bone undergoes modelling involving separate osteoblastic and osteoclastic processes. Markers of bone turnover circulate at high concentrations, parallel the childhood growth curve and correlate with height velocity. The aim of this study was to compare serum markers of bone turnover in children with haemophilia and normal bone mineral density (BMD) vs. those with low BMD. In a cross-sectional study, 69 children with haemophilia were evaluated, 45 children with normal spine BMD vs. 24 with low BMD. Lumbar spine BMD was determined using dual X-ray absorptiometry and Z-scores were calculated. Serum samples of markers of bone turnover, osteocalcin (bone formation) and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (bone resorption) were measured using ELISA. The mean BMD (g cm(-2) ) in the normal group was 0.656 ± 0.15 vs. 0.558 ± 0.12 in those with low BMD (P = 0.007), osteocalcin levels in children with normal BMD were 9.29 ± 4.97 vs. 7.06 ± 2.17 ng μL(-1) in the low BMD group (P = 0.012). C-telopeptide levels in the normal group were 1.06 ± 1.4 vs. 0.74 ± 0.3 ng mL(-1) in the low BMD group (P = 0.169). Our results showed that low osteocalcin levels predominated in the group with low BMD, which indicates a diminished osteoblastic bone formation activity while there were no differences with regard to bone resorption markers. Moreover, osteocalcin levels explain 10% of the variation of lumbar spine Z-score.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D001842 Bone and Bones A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principal cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
