The serum levels of osteocalcin, a 49 amino acid bone matrix protein, have been found to be a specific biochemical parameter of bone formation. The aim of our study was to assess the variability of serum osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone levels in postmenopausal osteoporosis. In 16 patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, serum levels of osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone were determined in 4-hourly intervals by radioimmunoassay. Whereas the serum parathyroid hormone levels were similar throughout the day, the serum osteocalcin levels showed a circadian rhythm, with lowest levels in the morning and maximal levels during the night. These findings might suggest a circadian variation of bone formation in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008593 Menopause The last menstrual period. Permanent cessation of menses (MENSTRUATION) is usually defined after 6 to 12 months of AMENORRHEA in a woman over 45 years of age. In the United States, menopause generally occurs in women between 48 and 55 years of age. Change of Life, Female

D010024 Osteoporosis Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Primary osteoporosis can be of two major types: postmenopausal osteoporosis (OSTEOPOROSIS, POSTMENOPAUSAL) and age-related or senile osteoporosis.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D015675 Osteocalcin Vitamin K-dependent calcium-binding protein synthesized by OSTEOBLASTS and found primarily in BONES. Serum osteocalcin measurements provide a noninvasive specific marker of bone metabolism. The protein contains three residues of the amino acid gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla), which, in the presence of CALCIUM, promotes binding to HYDROXYAPATITE and subsequent accumulation in BONE MATRIX.
