J Nutr 2023; 153:3430-3438. [PMID: 37844839 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies suggest that dairy-derived calcium supplements have additional beneficial properties compared with other calcium supplements in relation to bone health. OBJECTIVES We investigated the postprandial calcium absorption from a milk-derived calcium permeate (CP) compared with calcium carbonate (CC). METHODS In this randomized double-blinded cross-over study, 10 healthy postmenopausal females (age 50-65 y) received maltodextrin (placebo), 800 mg calcium from CP or from CC provided in 6 capsules on separate days. A fasting blood sample was collected at baseline, 60, 120, 240, and 360 min after ingestion. At baseline and 360 min, spot-urine samples were collected. Serum-ionized calcium, intact parathyroid hormone, phosphorus, and magnesium were analyzed, as were urinary calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. A linear mixed model was applied. RESULTS Serum-ionized calcium concentration after the CC supplement was higher at 240 min compared with the CP supplement [between-group difference; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.039 mmol/L; 95% CI: 0.017-0.061; P = 0.00078]. Serum-ionized calcium concentration after the CC supplement was significantly higher than placebo at all postprandial time points except at 60 min. Urinary calcium concentration in 360 min spot urine was higher after intake of CC compared with CP [between-group difference; 95% CI: 2.47 mmol/L; 95% CI: 1.90-3.03; P = 0.0042]. CONCLUSIONS Postprandial calcium absorption from CP was lower than that of CC, and concurrently, urinary concentration reflected increased serum appearance by CC compared with CP, highlighting different metabolic responses. The long-term and clinical implications should be studied further.

Effect of Denosumab on Bone Density in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: A Comparison with and without Calcium Supplementation in Patients on Standard Diets in Korea. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6904. [PMID: 37959369 PMCID: PMC10649665 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12216904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The side effects and safety issues tied to calcium supplementation raise questions about its necessity in osteoporosis treatment. We retrospectively evaluated 189 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients treated with denosumab for 12 months. Patients exhibited neither renal dysfunction nor compromised general dietary intake. Patients were divided into three groups as follows: group A, weekly vitamin D 7000 IU; group B, daily vitamin D 1000 IU with elemental calcium 100 mg; and group C, daily vitamin D 1000 IU with elemental calcium 500 mg. All groups showed significant increases in bone density: +6.4 ± 4.7% for the lumbar spine, +2.2 ± 3.5% for the femoral neck, and +2.4 ± 3.8% for the total hip in group A; +7.0 ± 10.9% for the lumbar spine, +2.3 ± 5.2% for the femoral neck, and +2.4 ± 3.8% for the total hip in group B; and + 6.7 ± 8.7% for the lumbar spine, +2.5 ± 8.4% for the femoral neck, and +2.3 ± 4.0% for the total hip in group C. Serum calcium levels increased over time in all three groups with no significant difference. Changes in CTX and P1NP levels did not differ between the groups (all p > 0.05). With regular dietary intake, calcium supplementation levels showed no significant effect on bone density, bone marker changes, or hypocalcemia incidence during denosumab treatment.

Effect of 24-Week, Late-Evening Ingestion of a Calcium-Fortified, Milk-Based Protein Matrix on Biomarkers of Bone Metabolism and Site-Specific Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women with Osteopenia. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14173486. [PMID: 36079744 PMCID: PMC9460355 DOI: 10.3390/nu14173486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Dietary calcium intake is a modifiable, lifestyle factor that can affect bone health and the risk of fracture. The diurnal rhythm of bone remodelling suggests nocturnal dietary intervention to be most effective. This study investigated the effect of daily, bed-time ingestion of a calcium-fortified, milk-derived protein matrix (MBPM) or control (CON), for 24 weeks, on serum biomarkers of bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, CTX) and formation (serum pro-collagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide, P1NP), and site-specific aerial bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), in postmenopausal women with osteopenia. The MBPM supplement increased mean daily energy, protein, and calcium intake, by 11, 30, and 107%, respectively. 24-week supplementation with MBPM decreased CTX by 23%, from 0.547 (0.107) to 0.416 (0.087) ng/mL (p < 0.001) and P1NP by 17%, from 60.6 (9.1) to 49.7 (7.2) μg/L (p < 0.001). Compared to CON, MBPM induced a significantly greater reduction in serum CTX (mean (CI95%); −9 (8.6) vs. −23 (8.5)%, p = 0.025 but not P1NP −19 (8.8) vs. −17 (5.2)%, p = 0.802). No significant change in TBS, AP spine or dual femur aerial BMD was observed for CON or MBPM. This study demonstrates the potential benefit of bed-time ingestion of a calcium-fortified, milk-based protein matrix on homeostatic bone remodelling but no resultant treatment effect on site-specific BMD in postmenopausal women with osteopenia.

Acute CTX-1 Suppression With Milk Calcium or Calcium Carbonate is Independent of Visceral Fat in A Randomized Crossover Study in Lean and Overweight Postmenopausal Women. J Nutr 2021; 152:1006-1014. [PMID: 36967157 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxab384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal women with higher visceral adipose tissue (VAT) present with suppressed bone resorption (lower c-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen, CTX-1) and turnover (lower osteocalcin) but whether this blunts the effect of calcium is unknown. OBJECTIVE The primary outcome of this study was the effect of VAT on changes in CTX-1 after intake of two forms of calcium. Secondary outcomes included changes in parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). DESIGN Randomized open three period crossover trial conducted between 2017-2019 at the University of South Australia among 77 lean and overweight postmenopausal women (53-79 y) with body mass index (BMI) less than 25 kg/m2 and greater than 27 kg/m2, respectively. Participants received a single dose of milk (1000 mg calcium), calcium carbonate tablet (1000 mg calcium), and fruit juice (no calcium) in random order with a seven-day washout period. Blood samples were collected at baseline and hourly for 5h. Data was analysed by repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) of log-transformed data. RESULTS At baseline, women with higher VAT had significantly lower CTX-1 and higher PTH (44% lower and 30% higher, respectively between Q4 and Q1, P < 0.0001). VAT had no influence on the acute changes in CTX-1 or PTH with calcium or juice. A suppression of 44% in CTX-1 was seen with calcium carbonate and milk and a suppression of 18% with juice. PTH was suppressed more with calcium carbonate (47%) compared to milk (22%). Milk calcium reduced PTH and CTX-1 at 2-hour while calcium carbonate reduced PTH in 1 hour. The suppression in CTX-1 was slower with lowest levels at 4-5 hour. CONCLUSIONS 1000 mg calcium obtained from milk or from calcium carbonate is effective in acutely suppressing bone resorption in postmenopausal women irrespective of visceral fat.This trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry http://www.ANZCTR.org.au/ACTRN12617000779370.aspx (ACTRN 12617000779370).

Temporal Change in Biomarkers of Bone Turnover Following Late Evening Ingestion of a Calcium-Fortified, Milk-Based Protein Matrix in Postmenopausal Women with Osteopenia. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11061413.

Abstract
The diurnal rhythm of bone remodeling suggests nocturnal dietary intervention to be most effective. This study investigated the effect of bedtime ingestion of a calcium-fortified, milk-derived protein matrix (MBPM) or maltodextrin (CON) on acute (0–4 h) blood and 24-h urinary change in biomarkers of bone remodeling in postmenopausal women with osteopenia. In CON, participants received 804 ± 52 mg calcium, 8.2 ± 3.2 µg vitamin D and 1.3 ± 0.2 g/kg BM protein per day. MBPM increased calcium intake to 1679 ± 196 mg, vitamin D to 9.2 ± 3.1 µg and protein to 1.6 ± 0.2 g/kg BM. Serum C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP), and urinary N-telopeptide cross-links of type I collagen (NTX), pyridinoline (PYD) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) was measured. Analyzed by AUC and compared to CON, a −32% lower CTX (p = 0.011, d = 0.83) and 24% (p = 0.52, d = 0.2) increase in P1NP was observed for MBPM. Mean total 24 h NTX excreted in MBPM was −10% (p = 0.035) lower than CON. Urinary PYD and DPD were unaffected by treatment. This study demonstrates the acute effects of bedtime ingestion of a calcium-fortified, milk-based protein matrix on bone remodeling.

Role of Calcium and Low-Fat Dairy Foods in Weight-Loss Outcomes Revisited: Results from the Randomized Trial of Effects on Bone and Body Composition in Overweight/Obese Postmenopausal Women. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11051157. [PMID: 31126121 PMCID: PMC6566640 DOI: 10.3390/nu11051157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Revised: 05/09/2019] [Accepted: 05/20/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Several studies have investigated the possibility of dairy foods and calcium (Ca) mediating weight and body composition, but a consensus has not been reached. We aimed to investigate weight-loss-related outcomes during intervention with low-fat dairy foods or Ca + vitamin D supplements, both as complements to hypocaloric diets. Overweight/obese Caucasian, early-postmenopausal women (n = 135) were recruited for a 6 month energy-restricted weight loss study complemented with either low-fat dairy foods (D; 4–5 servings/day), or Ca + vitamin D supplements (S); both to amount a total of ~1500 mg/day and 600 IU/day of Ca and vitamin D, respectively, or placebo pills (C). Bone mineral density (BMD) and lean and fat tissue were measured by Lunar iDXA. Serum and urinary markers of bone turnover were analyzed. Diet and physical activity were assessed with 3-day records. Participants on average lost ~4%, ~3%, and ~2% of body weight, fat, and lean tissue, respectively. The significantly better outcomes were noticed in participants in the D group regarding body composition (fat loss/lean tissue preservation) and in participants in the S group regarding the BMD outcomes, compared to those in the C group. Therefore, increasing low-fat dairy foods to 4–5 servings/day and/or increasing Ca & vitamin D intake by supplements (in those who are at the borderline dietary intake) may be beneficial for weight loss/maintenance and may lead to more favorable bone and body composition outcomes in postmenopausal women during moderate weight loss.

Abstract
Food can be an excellent source of calcium. Dietary calcium is in general as well absorbed as calcium supplements, and exerts the same effects on bone. The main sources are dairy products, but also some vegetables and fruits contain considerable amounts of calcium. Mineral water can serve as a supplement. Cross-sectional, longitudinal and some interventional trials have shown positive effects on bone metabolism, bone density and bone loss. But the effect on fracture incidence is less certain, and that of milk, the most studied dairy product, still unproven.

Abstract
Calcium supplements were tested in pregnancy and lactation, in childhood and adolescence, in pre- and postmenopausal women and in elderly persons with various effects on bone density and fracture incidence. They must be properly chosen and adequately used. In this case, the reported minor negative side-effects do not restrict their use. All these aspects are reviewed here.

Postprandial metabolic responses of serum calcium, parathyroid hormone and C-telopeptide of type I collagen to three doses of calcium delivered in milk. J Nutr Sci 2014; 3:e6.

Abstract
Acute doses of Ca rapidly increase serum Ca and reduce bone resorption concomitant with a
reduction in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The physiological response to a dose
of Ca in milk and to a Ca salt may be different. The present study investigated Ca
absorption patterns with increasing levels of fortification in milk, and the response to
one dose of a Ca salt. A group of twenty-eight Asian women aged 20–45 years volunteered to
attend the laboratory over several weeks. The fasted volunteers were randomised to one of
three experimental drinks: 200 ml skimmed milk containing 250, 500 or 1000 mg Ca. A
subgroup of seven volunteers also received a calcium gluconate/carbonate salt containing
1000 mg Ca in 200 ml water. Serial blood samples and urine were collected for 5 h from
baseline. Different doses of Ca in milk resulted in a graded response in serum corrected
Ca, PTH and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx) but not ionised Ca. Serum Ca increased
in response to all milk drinks and from 2 to 5 h the blood Ca levels were significantly
different for the 250 and 1000 mg doses, as was the integrated response between the loads.
The PTH response to the two higher doses was significantly more than following the 250 mg
dose. The integrated response for CTx and urinary Ca between all three doses of Ca in milk
was significantly different. A dose of Ca salt elicited a more immediate response reaching
a plateau faster, and declining faster to baseline. Fortified milk is a safe matrix for
delivering larger doses of Ca.

Abstract
In February 2013, the US Preventive Services Task Force (see www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org) recommended 'against daily supplementation with 400 IU or less of vitamin D3 and 1000, mg or less of calcium for the primary prevention of fractures in non institutionalized postmenopausal women', which illustrates the divergence of opinions. This review wants to shed an objective light on the importance of calcium for bone health. It cannot compete with an exhaustive analysis of the literature by an institute. It does not mention all significant references. But it highlights some pivotal studies from the past and it refers to recent studies that opened new views or added essential data to known facts. It also reflects the personal perception of the author. The first part deals mainly with intake, absorption, needs and recommendations; the second part will discuss the effects of calcium and its supplements on bone.

Abstract
Individuals often perform exercise in the fasted state, but the effects on bone metabolism are not currently known. We compared the effect of an overnight fast with feeding a mixed meal on the bone metabolic response to treadmill running. Ten, physically-active males aged 28 ± 4y (mean ±SD) completed two, counterbalanced, 8d trials. After 3d on a standardised diet, participants performed 60 min of treadmill running at 65% VO(2max) on Day 4 following an overnight fast (FAST) or a standardised breakfast (FED). Blood samples were collected at baseline, before and during exercise, for 3h after exercise, and on four consecutive follow-up days (FU1-FU4). Plasma/serum were analysed for the c-terminal telopeptide region of collagen type 1 (β-CTX), n-terminal propeptides of procollagen type 1 (P1NP), osteocalcin (OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), albumin-adjusted calcium, phosphate, osteoprotegerin (OPG), cortisol, leptin and ghrelin. Only the β-CTX response was significantly affected by feeding. Pre-exercise concentrations decreased more in FED compared with FAST (47% vs 26%, P<0.001) but increased during exercise in both groups and were not significantly different from baseline at 1h post-exercise. At 3h post-exercise, concentrations were decreased (33%, P<0.001) from baseline in FAST and significantly lower (P<0.001) than in FED. P1NP and PTH increased, and OC decreased during exercise. Bone markers were not significantly different from baseline on FU1-FU4. Fasting had only a minor effect on the bone metabolic response to subsequent acute, endurance exercise, reducing the duration of the increase in β-CTX during early recovery, but having no effect on changes in bone formation markers. The reduced duration of the β-CTX response with fasting was not fully explained by changes in PTH, OPG, leptin or ghrelin.

Abstract
AbstractTo investigate the mechanism by which strontium ranelate (SrR) inhibits the bone resorption, this study compared the effects of SrR and calcium on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the biochemical marker of bone resorption (serum type 1 collagen cross-linked C-telopeptide, βCTX).In 10 healthy young subjects, after overnight fasting, 1000 mg of elemental calcium and 2000 mg of SrR containing 600 mg SrAfter the ingestion of either calcium or SrR, there was a significant increase in serum calcium and strontium concentrations, and a decrease in serum βCTX and intact PTH concentrations as compared to the baseline values (p<0.05). In the fasting subjects, no significant differences in the variable were found as compared to the baseline values.The decrease in PTH and the marker of bone resorption observed after the SrR administration is comparable to the decrease observed after the calcium administration in young adults.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Premenopausal women with low calcium intakes consumed calcium-fortified ice cream daily for 28 days. Bone markers, NTX, CTX and PTH decreased significantly by 7 days, with some evidence of a calcium dose-dependent effect. Bone marker responses were observed within 1 h of consuming ice cream. Body weight remained constant over 28 days. INTRODUCTION Dietary calcium is important for lifelong bone health. Milk is a good source of bioavailable calcium, but consumption has declined among young adults. The aims were to determine whether calcium-fortified ice cream, a palatable source of calcium, produces significant, sustainable changes in bone turnover markers and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in premenopausal women with calcium intake below recommended UK levels. METHODS Eighty women, ages 20-39 years (calcium intake <750 mg/day) were randomised to consume lower saturated fat/sugar ice cream containing 96, 244, 459 or 676 mg calcium daily for 28 days. Urinary NTX/Cr, serum CTX, PINP, 1,25D and PTH were measured (baseline, days 1, 7 and 28). Acute changes in CTX and PTH were measured over 5 h (n = 29 women). RESULTS There were significant mean decreases by 7 days in NTX/Cr, CTX, PTH and 1,25D and increases in PINP (one sample t tests), with a significant dose-dependent effect on CTX analysis of covariance. Only CTX remained suppressed at 28 days. Serum CTX and PTH decreased within 1 h. Body weight did not change significantly between baseline and 28 days. CONCLUSIONS Daily consumption of calcium-fortified ice cream by premenopausal women may significantly reduce levels of the bone resorption marker serum CTX, without stimulating weight gain. The ice cream could be incorporated into the diet to replace low-calcium snacks and thus help individuals with habitually low calcium intakes to meet recommended intakes. The 244 mg calcium preparation would provide more than a quarter of the UK daily recommended nutrient intake for premenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Citrate is the anticoagulation of choice in apheresis procedures. Citrate anticoagulation results in a short-term increase in serological markers of bone turnover, with uncertain clinical significance. AIM To understand the effect of calcium supplementation on serological bone turnover markers during an acute citrate load as a mimic of citrate anticoagulation during apheresis procedures. METHODS A placebo-controlled, crossover study was conducted in 22 healthy volunteers. Volunteers received a standardized citrate load at a fixed dose of 1.5 mg/kg of body weight/min for 80 min for three times and a single placebo infusion as a control. Each intervention was separated by a wash-out interval of 2 to 3 weeks. During two citrate infusions, volunteers received an additional calcium supplementation, consisting of either oral administration of calcium carbonate or an i.v. bypass infusion of calcium gluconate. Serial blood samples were collected for the determination of ionized calcium (iCa), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and markers of bone remodeling, C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) and osteocalcin (OC). RESULTS The infusion of citrate without calcium supplementation resulted in an increase in the bone formation marker OC and the bone resorption marker CTX, in addition to the changes in iPTH and iCa. The administration of calcium by either oral administration or as an i.v. bypass infusion attenuated the observed changes in CTX, but showed no effects on the elevation of the bone formation marker OC. There was no difference in the attenuation of CTX between the two calcium formulations. However, the i.v. application of calcium gluconate had a superior effect in reducing the change of serum iPTH and iCa as compared to the oral administration of calcium carbonate. CONCLUSIONS Calcium supplementation is an effective method in damping the citrate-related transient increase of the serological bone resorption marker CTX. As a mimic for the citrate-based apheresis procedure, our data may enforce the prophylactic application of calcium supplementation to attenuate the short-term elevation of bone resorption related to an acute citrate load.

Abstract
The "J shape" curve linking the risk of poor bone health to alcohol intake is now well recognized from epidemiological studies. Ethanol and nonethanol components of alcoholic beverages could influence bone remodeling. However, in the absence of a solid underlying mechanism, the positive association between moderate alcoholic intake and BMD remains questionable because of confounding associated social factors. The objective of this work was to characterize the short-term effects of moderate alcohol consumption on circulating bone markers, especially those involved in bone resorption. Two sequential blood-sampling studies were undertaken in fasted healthy volunteers (age, 20-47 yr) over a 6-h period using beer of different alcohol levels (<0.05-4.6%), solutions of ethanol or orthosilicic acid (two major components of beer), and water +/- calcium chloride (positive and negative controls, respectively). Study 1 (24 subjects) assessed the effects of the different solutions, whereas study 2 (26 subjects) focused on ethanol/beer dose. Using all data in a "mixed effect model," we identified the contributions of the individual components of beer, namely ethanol, energy, low-dose calcium, and high-dose orthosilicic acid, on acute bone resorption. Markers of bone formation were unchanged throughout the study for all solutions investigated. In contrast, the bone resorption marker, serum carboxy terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), was significantly reduced after ingestion of a 0.6 liters of ethanol solution (>2% ethanol; p <or= 0.01, RM-ANOVA), 0.6 liters of beer (<0.05-4.6% ethanol; p < 0.02), or a solution of calcium (180 mg calcium; p < 0.001), but only after calcium ingestion was the reduction in CTX preceded by a significant fall in serum PTH (p < 0.001). Orthosilicic acid had no acute effect. Similar reductions in CTX, from baseline, were measured in urine after ingestion of the test solutions; however, the biological variability in urine CTX was greater compared with serum CTX. Modeling indicated that the major, acute suppressive effects of moderate beer ingestion (0.6 liters) on CTX were caused by energy intake in the early phase (approximately 0-3 h) and a "nonenergy" ethanol component in the later phase (approximately 3 to >6 h). The early effect on bone resorption is well described after the intake of energy, mediated by glucagon-like peptide-2, but the late effect of moderate alcohol ingestion is novel, seems to be ethanol specific, and is mediated in a non-calcitonin- and a non-PTH-dependent fashion, thus providing a mechanism for the positive association between moderate alcohol ingestion and BMD.

Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the suppressive effects of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate on bone resorption in early postmenopause. Calcium citrate is thought to be better absorbed. We therefore tested the hypothesis that calcium as citrate is more effective than calcium as carbonate in suppressing parathyroid hormone (PTH) and C-terminal telopeptide. Twenty-five healthy postmenopausal women were recruited in this double blind crossover study. The subjects were randomly allocated to receive either 1,000 mg of elemental calcium as carbonate or 500 mg of calcium as citrate. They were given the alternate calcium dose 1 week later. Serum measurements of total and ionized calcium, phosphate, PTH, and CrossLaps were repeated 12 hours after each dose. Analysis of variance found no significant difference between measures for the two salts. Tests for equivalence indicated that 500 mg of calcium citrate may be superior to 1,000 mg of calcium carbonate in raising serum total and ionized calcium (P = 0.04 and 0.05, respectively). For all parameters measured, 500 mg of calcium citrate was at least as beneficial as 1,000 mg of calcium carbonate. Calcium citrate is at least as effective as calcium carbonate in suppressing PTH and C-terminal telopeptide cross-links, at half the dose. This may be because calcium as citrate is better absorbed than calcium as carbonate. If calcium citrate can be used in lower doses, it may be better tolerated than calcium carbonate.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) changes morphology of osteoclasts within minutes after its systemic administration. The aim of our study was to test in healthy men whether both exogenous and endogenous PTH could change acutely (minutes to hours) the serum cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (beta CTX), which is released during osteoclastic resorption of bone. Twelve healthy men (age range 24–34 yr) were each studied during 180 min on a control period, after a single subcutaneous injection of teriparatide, and after 30 min EDTA infusion to stimulate endogenous PTH secretion. The tests were started after overnight fast, 3 h after a standard calcium load. The EDTA infusion induced a significant decrease in serum ionized calcium (by 8.5% at 33 min) and a significant increase in plasma PTH (by 305% at 33 min). Both the EDTA and teriparatide resulted in a significant increase in beta CTX (p < 0.001) with maximum increases of 64% and 80%, respectively. A mild, but significant decrease in beta CTX was observed during the control test period. In conclusion, single-dose teriparatide injection as well as a stimulation of endogenous PTH in healthy men results in an acute increase of the bone resorption marker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Calcium is essential for the bone metabolism but daily calcium requirements are not met in a significant proportion of the population. Fortunately, oral calcium supplementation can help to meet these needs; however, the calcium bioavailability depends on the calcium sources. The calcium absorption and bioavailability of dietary supplements from marine sources are not known. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of two marine dietary supplements with a high calcium content: a fishbone powder (Phoscalim) and a ray cartilage hydrolysate (Glycollagene), in comparison with milk, and a placebo (maltodextrin), on calcium metabolism and a biochemical marker of bone resorption, using the oral calcium tolerance test. SUBJECTS Twenty male volunteers were randomized to eat 836 mg of calcium from different sources compared to maltodextrin during a Latin square study. Serum calcium concentrations and other parameters of the calcium metabolism, such as serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and serum C telopeptides (s-CTX), were measured after an acute oral calcium load based on the Pak protocol. RESULTS An increase in serum-corrected calcium areas under the curve (AUC) occurred with Phoscalim and Glycollagene when compared to milk. Significantly lower iPTH concentrations were observed with Glycollagene than with milk at T0+1 h, T0+3 h, T0+6 h and with Phoscalim than with milk at T0+6 h. A significantly lower s-CTX concentration was observed with Glycollagene than with milk and Phoscalim at T0+6 h. Furthermore, the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio increased significantly more with Glycollagen than with milk in T0 h+3 h and T3 h+6 h. CONCLUSION These two dietary supplements from marine sources constitute oral calcium sources when compared to milk on calcium absorption and bone resorption markers on short time.

Abstract
No means exist to evaluate the activity status, turnover, and prognosis of idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (IONFH) except for X-ray evidence of segmental collapse as a very good marker for prognosis. Moreover, the only current method for diagnosis of this disease is through physical examination and diagnostic imaging results, and no serum biochemical markers exist. A comparative analysis of serum proteomes was performed to discover proteins associated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) patterns of human sera from 10 patients with IONFH and 10 normal subjects were analyzed. The differentially expressed spots were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and 7 proteins were found. The expression levels of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), bone-carboxyglutamate protein (BGP), c-sis, and an unknown protein were downregulated in the sera of patients with IONFH, whereas the other 3 proteins, including plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), crosslaps, and anti-p53 antibody, were upregulated. To examine their applicability as diagnostic markers, levels of the 6 identified proteins in serum were validated from patients with IONFH, osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and fracture using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. It was found that only serum levels of t-PA, PAI-1, crosslaps, and anti-p53 antibody in patients with IONFH were always significantly different from those in patients with OA, RA, and fracture. These results suggest that serum levels of t-PA, PAI-1, crosslaps, and anti-p53 antibody could be used as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for IONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biochemical markers of bone remodeling have been extensively used (independent of bone mass measurements) to document the efficacy of various anticatabolic and anabolic bone-modifying medications in reducing fracture risk. Nonetheless, their usefulness in determining the effectiveness of osteoporosis prevention and treatment, particularly calcium supplementation, has not been well established. OBJECTIVE This article reviews the use of biochemical markers of bone remodeling as a measure of the effect of calcium supplementation and the implications for prediction of fracture risk. METHODS A generalized search of MEDLINE from 1966 through April 2004 using the terms osteoporosis, fracture risk, and the specific bone biomarkers of interest was conducted to identify articles relating to these biomarkers and their relationship to prediction of fracture risk. A second MEDLINE search for the same period used the terms calcium, biological markers, and fracture risk to identify studies of calcium supplementation and bone biomarkers. In both cases, the reference lists of identified review articles were searched for additional publications. RESULTS : Several biochemical markers of bone remodeling have been shown to be positively correlated with bone mineral density and fracture risk. Furthermore, calcium supplementation has been shown to have a significant correlation with levels of a number of these biomarkers (P < 0.05): the markers of bone formation procollagen type I carboxy and amino terminal peptides and serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, and the markers of bone resorption urinary hydroxyproline, urinary pyridinoline, urinary deoxypyridinoline, urinary amino terminal crosslinked telopeptide, and urinary and serum carboxy terminal crosslinked telopeptide. CONCLUSIONS Calcium supplementation has a significant effect on a number of biomarkers of bone remodeling, an effect that is, in turn, correlated with decreased fracture risk. Most studies of the efficacy of calcium supplementation in reducing bone remodeling and influencing bone mineral density and fracture risk have involved calcium carbonate, although a few studies have found that other calcium salts may produce similar results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of a 400 mg acute oral calcium dose on PTH and bone resorption markers in a young, healthy population. DESIGN Fasting serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), C-telopeptides (CTX), total calcium (Ca), albumin and urinary calcium/creatinine ratio (uCa/Cr) were measured on two separate days: one before and the other 10 h after oral administration of 400 mg calcium. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) status was assessed at baseline. Dietary calcium intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). SUBJECTS A total of 32 healthy, young adults (17 female, 15 male; mean+/-s.e.m. age: 21+/-1 y) took part in this study. Their mean (s.e.m.) calcium intake was 1125 (+/-56) mg/day. INTERVENTION Effervescent Sandocal 400 tablets dissolved in water. RESULTS After the calcium challenge, mean Ca and uCa/Cr ratio increased significantly, and both PTH and CTX concentrations were significantly lower. Multiple regression analysis showed no relationship between the response to the 400 mg load and previous dietary calcium intake (as assessed by FFQ) or serum 25-OHD. CONCLUSION We have shown that in a young, healthy population, 400 mg oral calcium can inhibit bone resorption (as measured by serum CTX) and PTH, and this appears to be independent of previous dietary calcium intake and vitamin D status.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A circadian rhythm exists for parathyroid hormone, with a biphasic pattern showing a late afternoon/early evening rise and fall and a broader, longer-lasting increase late evening/early morning reaching nadir mid-morning. This review explores the characteristics of the circadian rhythm, factors regulating the rhythm and its role in bone metabolism. RECENT FINDINGS Gender differences exist in the circadian rhythm for parathyroid hormone. Ageing in women alters the response to calcium infusion, increasing the suppression of parathyroid hormone secretion and decreasing bone resorption. There is no difference between young and elderly men in the parathyroid hormone response to calcium infusion. Loop diuretic ingestion alters the parathyroid hormone circadian rhythm reflecting loop diuretic effects on phosphate and calcium metabolism. Adult growth hormone deficiency alters parathyroid hormone secretion and end organ sensitivity, but the circadian rhythm is retained. Growth hormone replacement therapy enhances the parathyroid hormone circadian rhythm and increases end organ responses. Exogenous parathyroid hormone (1-34) and (1-84) administered by daily injection has an anabolic effect on bone, increasing bone mass and decreasing fracture. Calcilytic drugs stimulate and calcimimetic drugs suppress parathyroid hormone secretion and have been used to treat disorders of bone metabolism. SUMMARY The circadian nature of parathyroid hormone secretion is confirmed by many publications. The underlying rhythm is endogenous. Life style factors and nutritional intake modulate the pattern of secretion. Direct association with bone resorption and formation is tentative. It is suggested that acute changes in these rhythms have little effect on resorption, but longer-term manipulation of parathyroid hormone secretion alters bone cell function. Growth hormone therapy in adult deficiency increases parathyroid hormone activity, indicating growth hormone may have therapeutic potential for osteoporosis. Manipulation of the endogenous parathyroid hormone rhythm, using timed supplements of phosphate or calcium or by calcilytic and calcimimetic molecules, offers a novel approach to osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
It is the position of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and Dietitians of Canada (DC) that women have specific nutritional needs and vulnerabilities and, as such, are at unique risk for various nutrition-related diseases and conditions. Therefore, the ADA and the DC strongly support research, health promotion activities, health services, and advocacy efforts that will enable women to adopt desirable nutrition practices for optimal health. Women are at risk for numerous chronic diseases and conditions that affect the duration and quality of their lives. Although women's health-related issues are multifaceted, nutrition has been shown to influence significantly the risk of chronic disease and to assist in maintaining optimal health status. Dietetics professionals strongly support research, health promotion activities, health services, and advocacy efforts that will enable women to adopt desirable nutrition practices for optimal health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the influence of body mass index (BMI), body composition, hormonal factors and disease duration on bone metabolism markers in anorexia nervosa (AN) patients. DESIGN Case-control study with 51 AN patients and 51 controls matched for age, sex and body height. Assessment of anthropometric and bioimpedance data, and of biochemical serum parameters and of oral contraceptives use. RESULTS Patients had a lower BMI, lower fat mass, lower fat-free mass and lower muscle mass (MM) compared to the controls (all P values <0.001). Moreover, serum levels of osteocalcin (bone formation marker) were lower while serum C-telopeptide concentrations (CTx; bone resorption marker) and the CTx/osteocalcin ratio (an index reflecting the balance of bone remodeling) were higher in the AN patients compared to the controls (P<0.01-0.001). In addition, patients had enhanced serum calcium and cortisol levels and reduced serum levels of thyroid hormones, insulin, and leptin (P values <0.05-0.001). Mean disease duration was 91+/-13 months. In a multiple regression analysis, BMI (P<0.0001), MM (P<0.005) and duration of the disease (P<0.005) were independent predictors of the CTx/osteocalcin ratio in the AN patients. There was a nonlinear association between BMI and the CTx/osteocalcin ratio of r=-0.72 (P<0.001) in the AN patients, but only a weak relation of r=-0.27 (P<0.05) between these parameters in the control subjects. Use of oral contraceptives had no effect on the CTx/osteocalcin ratio, neither in AN patients nor in controls. CONCLUSIONS Data indicate an uncoupling of bone formation and bone resorption in AN, which is primarily the result of a low BMI and influenced by the duration of the disease.

Abstract
There is an increasing repertoire of laboratory tests available for assessing the bone remodeling process. Biochemical markers of bone remodeling can be measured in serum or urine, and have a number of potential roles in the management of fracture risk. Differences in remodeling between individuals might be related to fracture risk and could be used to target therapy. Change in remodeling with therapy could be related to fracture risk reduction and the choice of therapy could be influenced by knowledge of bone remodeling. Biochemical therapeutic monitoring may improve patient understanding and therapeutic adherence. The rate of bone remodeling is weakly predictive of fracture risk in individuals who are not receiving therapy; however, it is not clear whether this is independent of other risk factors. There is increasing evidence that change in bone mineral density does not explain fracture risk reduction with antiresorptive therapies, and that therapeutic benefit might be explained by change in bone turnover. Additional studies and information are required to allow these scientific advances to be translated into cost-effective and validated clinical protocols. Optimizing the precision and accuracy of bone turnover assessment remains an important priority.
