The aim of this work was to evaluate the response of different biochemical bone markers to tiludronate administration in Paget's disease of bone. Ten patients (five men and five women), 56-77 years old (67 +/- 6.5), were treated for 3 months with tiludronate tablets (400 mg/day). Bone formation markers: alkaline phosphatase (AP), bone alkaline phosphatase (bAP), osteocalcin (BGP), and procollagen I carboxyterminal propeptide (PICP) in serum; and bone resorption markers: serum cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptides of type I collagen (ICTP), urinary hydroxyproline/creatinine (Hyp/Cr), pyridinoline/Cr (Pyr/Cr), and alpha-1 collagen chain products degradation (CrossLaps) were assessed. Samples were taken before and at monthly intervals for 3 months after treatment began. The results of the present work show that serum AP and bAP are sensitive and reliable biochemical markers of bone formation in the follow-up of tiludronate in this disease. Serum PICP shows less sensitivity than serum AP, and serum BGP is not indicated as biochemical marker in these types of studies. Urinary hydroxyproline seems to be the most reliable biochemical marker of bone resorption. More studies should be performed with urinary Pyr and CrossLaps determinations. Serum ICTP is not adequate for the follow-up of tiludronate treatment in Paget's disease of bone.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D010446 Peptide Fragments Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
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

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents. Bisphosphonate,Bisphosphonates
