Abstract
There exists a marked circadian variation for several bone markers (BM), which is influenced by endogenous as well as exogenous factors including hormones, physical activity, and fasting. Consequently, was the aim of this review to provide an overview of the knowledge of the circadian variation of BM and which factors influence this rhythmicity. A systematic search of PubMed was performed for studies evaluating the circadian variation of BM and which factors influence this rhythmicity. The studies were screened for eligibility by a set of predetermined criteria including a list of relevant BM and a minimum study duration of 24 h with at least 3 blood samples of which two should be at least 6 h apart. In total were 29 papers included. There exists a marked circadian variation for most BM including Carboxy-terminal Cross-Linked Telopeptide of Type I Collagen (CTX) and osteocalcin (OC) with nighttime or early morning peak. Pro-collagen Type I N-terminal Propeptide (PINP) and PTH also showed circadian rhythm but with less amplitude. The inter-osteoblast-osteoclast regulatory markers such as OPG, RANKL, FGF23, and sclerostin showed no circadian rhythm. The markers were differently affected by exogenous factors like fasting, which greatly reduced the circadian variation of CTX but did not affect PINP or OC. The marked circadian variation and the factors which influence the rhythmicity, e.g., fasting are of great consequence when measuring BM. To reduce variation and heighten validity should circadian variation and fasting be kept in mind when measuring BM.

Abstract
Studies in adults show superior serum phosphate and parathyroid hormone (PTH) control on slow nocturnal haemodialysis (NHD) compared with conventional haemodialysis. We studied the progress of four children aged 12, 13, 14 and 16 years after they had been initiated on NHD. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 20 months. Biochemical indices of bone metabolism were collected prospectively. All four children were initially dialysed against a 1.5 mmol/l calcium bath. In two patients, owing to biochemical hypocalcaemic episodes, the dialysate calcium concentration was increased to 1.75 mmol/l. One patient became hypercalcaemic and received calcitonin for bone pain secondary to osteoporosis and was dialysed against a 1.0 mmol/l calcium bath. Including an evaluation of dietary intake, all four patients had a net positive calcium balance, ranging from 5.1 mmol/m2 body surface area (BSA) per day to 24.3 mmol/m2 BSA per day. A significant reduction in the pre-dialysis phosphate level was observed in all four patients, such that none required dietary restrictions or phosphate binders, and dialysate phosphate supplements of 0.8-2.03 mmol/l were employed to prevent hypophosphataemia. The (CaxPO4) dropped below 4.4 mmol(2) l(-2) in all four patients. Concurrently, significant reductions in intact PTH levels were seen in all four patients, but the level dropped to below normal range in two. In our cohort of patients, NHD rapidly lowered plasma phosphate and PTH levels, and additional dialysate phosphate and possibly calcium may be necessary to prevent bone demineralisation due to chronic losses and to prevent oversuppression of PTH.

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
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Parathyroid hormone is anabolic to bone but when secreted in excess it is catabolic. It is important, therefore, to understand the mechanisms that determine the normal circadian rhythm of parathyroid hormone secretion and whether the cellular response to it will be anabolic or catabolic. This may lead to new strategies for the treatment of osteoporosis and the low turnover bone disease of some dialysis patients. RECENT FINDINGS The parathyroid plays a central role in normal mineral and bone homeostasis by acting on its receptor, the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R). In fact there is more than one receptor - the PTH2 receptor and a putative carboxy-terminal PTH receptor. The latter, in particular, may be particularly relevant to our understanding of the role of parathyroid hormone and its use in pharmacology. Parathyroid hormone in excess destroys bone, as in most patients with chronic renal failure, and when it is lacking this may result in low turnover bone disease. At a more subtle level, patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis may have a blunting of the normal circadian rhythm of parathyroid hormone, with its peak at night and nadir in the morning. Insights as to what determines whether parathyroid hormone will be anabolic or catabolic to bone are reviewed. SUMMARY Attempting to correct the circadian rhythm in osteoporotic patients by calcilytic drugs or perhaps physiological equivalents may have a role in the future in treating osteoporosis. In the meantime, the administration of recombinant parathyroid hormone is an effective agent in the management of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about parathyroid gland function in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine whether parathyroid gland function is abnormal in TPN recipients. DESIGN Six patients with a mean (+/-1 SD) age of 45.5 +/- 8.0 y who had been receiving TPN for 18.7 +/- 2. 8 y underwent bone biopsy, bone mass measurements with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and dynamic tests of parathyroid gland function. Diurnal variations in blood ionized calcium (iCa(2+)) and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations were also assessed. Results were compared with those of healthy volunteers. RESULTS Bone mass and bone formation were subnormal in all patients. Basal serum PTH concentrations were moderately higher in the TPN recipients than in healthy volunteers, and values obtained every 30 min over 24 h were significantly higher (P < 0.001) in TPN recipients (5.0 +/- 0.9 pmol/L) than in healthy volunteers (2.6 +/- 0.6 pmol/L). The percentage increase in serum PTH during citrate-induced hypocalcemia was lower in the TPN recipients, consistent with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Evening infusions of calcium-containing TPN eliminated the nocturnal rise in serum PTH, increased the amplitude of change for iCa(2+) and PTH over 24 h, increased the orderliness of change for iCa(2+) and PTH as measured by approximate entropy (ApEn), and enhanced the synchrony of change between iCa(2+) and PTH. Treatment for 10 d with calcium-free TPN restored the nocturnal rise in serum PTH and increased ApEn for PTH. ApEn for iCa(2+) remained low, suggesting that a component of nutrient solutions, but not calcium per se, enhances the regularity of PTH release in TPN recipients. CONCLUSION Parathyroid gland function is abnormal in long-term TPN recipients, which may contribute to disturbances in bone metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The parathyroid cell calcium receptor is a novel drug target for affecting parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and for treating hyperparathyroidism. R-568 is a calcium receptor agonist that inhibits PTH secretion and increases calcitonin release in preclinical studies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of R-568 on PTH plasma concentrations in humans. METHODS Eighteen healthy postmenopausal women were included in the study. Single ascending oral doses of 10 to 400 mg were administered in a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind trial. PTH plasma concentrations were measured for up to 120 hours after each dose. RESULTS R-568 caused a dose-dependent decrease in plasma PTH, with peak effect observed within 1/2 to 2 hours after dosing. The maximum effect did not increase beyond doses from 80 to 160 mg, but duration of response increased at higher doses. An indirect-response model was developed to estimate the rates of input and output of the active moiety(ies), the inhibitory effect on PTH secretion, and the circadian variability in PTH. Population parameter estimates were 3.02 hour-1 and 0.49 hour-1 for rates of input and output of the active moiety(ies), respectively, IA50 (the unscaled amount of R-568 associated with 50% of Emax) was 16.3 mg, Emax (the maximum effect caused by R-568 expressed as a fraction of the rate of PTH secretion in the absence of any drug effect) was 89%, CPTH(baseline) (the baseline PTH plasma concentration in the absence of any drug effect) was 34.6 pg/mL, KePTH (the elimination rate constant for PTH) was 1.73 hour-1, amplitude of the circadian variability in PTH secretion was 5.8%, and the time of peak PTH secretion occurred at about 6 PM. Intersubject variability in parameter estimates ranged from 7% to 121%, and residual variability was 22%. CONCLUSION The model correctly described the onset, extent, and duration of effect on PTH after a wide range of doses of R-568.

Abstract
Several studies have established that the circulating concentration of intact parathyroid hormone, PTH (1-84), over 24 h follows a circadian rhythm. The importance of this circadian rhythm is not known although some authors have detected alterations in the rhythm in metabolic bone disease and following dietary manipulation. We have studied the circadian rhythm of PTH (1-84) in 8 premenopausal women, 8 postmenopausal women with established osteoporosis and 8 postmenopausal women with no evidence of osteoporosis. Blood samples were obtained at 30-min intervals over a 24-h period and significant differences were found in the profiles of PTH (1-84) and serum phosphate in the three groups studied. Premenopausal women possessed a nocturnal/early morning increase in PTH (1-84) and phosphate (between 2200 and 0700 hours), as did postmenopausal women without osteoporosis. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis the nocturnal increase in PTH (1-84) and serum phosphate was absent and PTH (1-84) decreased during the period 2200-0700 hours. A shift in acrophase is observed between premenopausal and postmenopausal women without osteoporosis. No acrophase was found in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis for either PTH (1-84) or serum phosphate. No circadian rhythm, acrophase or significant amplitude was observed in serum adjusted calcium or ionized calcium in any group studied. Alterations in the circadian rhythms for PTH (1-84) and serum phosphate occur in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis that suggest that normal dynamics of PTH (1-84) secretion may play a role in both calcium and phosphate metabolism and the bone remodelling process. Whether these changes are causative or a response to the pathology will require further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that after spinal cord injury (SCI) suppression of the parathyroid-vitamin D axis is associated with the degree of neurologic impairment and not the level of injury. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of clinical and biochemical data obtained from hospital records of patients with SCI compared to a control group of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). SETTING The inpatient rehabilitation unit of a tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS The medical records of 82 consecutive admissions to the rehabilitation unit with a diagnosis of SCI or TBI were reviewed. Patients with SCI were classified by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale and then grouped based on the completeness and level of injury. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Comparisons of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-D) were planned. Multiple comparisons were performed for total and ionized serum calcium levels, serum phosphorus levels, and 24-hour urinary calcium excretion rates to reflect changes in mineral homeostasis. Multiple comparisons were also performed for serum albumin, prolactin, thyroid function tests, and AM cortisol levels, as well as 24-hour urinary urea nitrogen and cortisol excretion rates to reflect metabolic responses to stress. RESULTS Patients with SCI had significant suppression in PTH (p < .000009) and 1,25-D (p < .02) levels with elevated phosphorus (p < 0.03) and prolactin (p < .03) levels compared to patients with TBI. Also, more patients with SCI were hypoalbuminemic (p < .003) than patients with TBI. Patients with complete SCI (ASIA A) had more suppressed PTH (p < .03) and higher urinary urea nitrogen (p < .05) levels than SCI patients with incomplete injuries (ASIA B-D). Patients with complete, but not incomplete, SCI had lower albumin levels than patients with TBI (p < .05). These differences were not found between patients with tetraplegic and paraplegic SCI. ASIA motor scores did not correlate with any of the measured parameters but when used as a covariate did abolish differences in PTH and 1,25-D among the study groups by ANOVA. CONCLUSION In patients with SCI, the degree of neurologic impairment, and not the level of injury, is associated with PTH suppression and markers of metabolic stress.

Abstract
The survival rate of heart transplant patients has increased considerably since the development of new immunosuppressive drugs. In the long term, however, cardiac transplantation results in a high incidence of osteoporosis which represents a major functional handicap. To examine whether patients in the early stages have impaired phosphocalcic metabolism, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH 1-84), native osteocalcin, ionized Ca++ and pH were measured at rest and during muscular exercises a dynamic test used to override circadian and ultradian PTH variations. A group of 12 patients receiving the usual immunosuppressive therapy, which is mainly an association of cyclosporin and prednisolone, and 8 sedentary control subjects performed a square-wave endurance test at the same relative intensity for 30 min. No patient had previous bone disease and the period since transplantation was 12.2 +/- 2.7 months. For the transplant patients, initial PTH concentrations and responses to exercise were higher (P < 0.01) compared to the control subjects with a dramatic increase after 10 min of recovery. From higher (P < 0.001) resting concentrations, osteocalcin further increased during exercise (P < 0.01) in the heart transplant group but not in the control subjects. In both groups pH showed the same time-course with a rapid fall during exercise (P < 0.05) and Ca++ concentrations increased during the exercise period. (P < 0.01 for patients; P < 0.05 for controls) with a significant fall in both groups after 10 min of recovery (P < 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A circadian rhythm in the serum concentration of the procollagen type I carboxyl-terminal propeptide (sPICP) has previously been demonstrated in premenopausal women. This study was performed to investigate the circadian rhythm in sPICP in healthy and osteopenic postmenopausal women. Blood samples were taken every third hour for 27 h from three groups of women: 12 early postmenopausal women (aged 55 +/- 2 years; mean +/- SD); 12 late postmenopausal women (aged 73 +/- 1 years); and 12 osteopenic but otherwise healthy late postmenopausal women (aged 73 +/- 1 years). A circadian rhythm in sPICP was found in all three groups, as shown by cosinor analysis (p = 0.000003-0.03). The circadian rhythm in sPICP was significantly different between the osteopenic group and the age-matched healthy group (p < 0.008). The amplitude of the circadian rhythm in sPICP was about twice as high in the osteopenic group, and the time of the maximum tended to be about 3 h later, as compared with the age-matched healthy group. The plasma concentration of osteocalcin, as measured by a recently developed two-site enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, also showed a circadian rhythm in all three groups (p = 0.0001-0.05), with no significant differences between groups. In conclusion, we have found a significant circadian rhythm in sPICP in both early and late postmenopausal women. In osteopenic women the nightly peak in sPICP is larger and persists later into the night as compared with non-osteopenic women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE PTH(1-84) secretion in normal male subjects follows a circadian rhythm. The control of this rhythm is multifactorial with both neuroendocrine and chemical influences. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a 96-hour fast on the circadian rhythm of PTH(1-84), serum calcium, phosphate and nephrogenous cAMP (NcAMP), an index of PTH(1-84) bioactivity. DESIGN Blood samples for estimation of all analytes were obtained over a 24-hour period at 30-minute intervals. Urine samples were obtained 4 hourly during the daytime and overnight. Each subject was studied on two occasions after being randomized to either (a) normal hospital diet or (b) a 96-hour fast with water freely available. SUBJECTS Six healthy adult males aged between 28 and 40 years, mean 32 years. MEASUREMENTS PTH(1-84) was measured by an in-house immunoradiometric assay. Serum calcium, phosphate, albumin, creatinine and urinary creatinine were measured by standard automated techniques. Calcium was adjusted for albumin. Plasma cAMP was estimated by a commercial method and urine cAMP by in-house radioimmunoassay and NcAMP obtained by calculation. Rhythm parameters were analysed by cosinor techniques. RESULTS There were alterations in the circadian rhythms of serum phosphate, PTH(1-84) and NcAMP following a 96-hour fast. Fasting abolished the nocturnal rise in phosphate, PTH(1-84) and NcAMP but had little effect on the pattern of adjusted calcium over a 24-hour period. The mean concentrations of serum phosphate, adjusted calcium and NcAMP decreased significantly following the fast and mean PTH(1-84) increased during day time. CONCLUSIONS Fasting for 96 hours significantly alters the circadian rhythm of PTH(1-84) secretion by lowering the mean calcium concentration and attenuating the circadian rhythm of serum phosphate.

Abstract
Studies of hypocalcemia and osteoporosis frequently encountered in heavy users of alcohol have previously been performed on alcoholic people who have already recovered from alcohol intoxication. Bone and mineral metabolism during and after the intoxication may be different. We measured serum parameters of bone and mineral metabolism in 26 alcohol-intoxicated men and in 19 healthy control men. Although serum ionized calcium was 12% (P < 0.0001) lower in the patients than in the controls, serum intact parathyroid hormone was similar in the study groups. As reflected by decreased serum levels of osteocalcin (-43%; P < 0.001), bone formation was depressed in the patients. Serum cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of human type I collagen (ICTP), a novel parameter of bone matrix degradation, was 9% higher in the patients (P = 0.03) than controls. The positive correlation between serum osteocalcin and ICTP in the controls (r = 0.59, P < 0.01) was absent in the patients (r = 0.05, P = 0.8). We conclude that in alcohol-intoxicated alcohol users, the parathyroid glands do not respond normally to a hypocalcemic stimulus, and that depressed bone formation is uncoupled from accelerated bone resorption.

Abstract
Classical stimulus-secretion theory suggests that each individual cell responds to a given stimulus. We tested this theory by determining the response of single bovine parathyroid cells to calcium with the reverse hemolytic plaque assay (RHPA), an assay that measures hormone release from individual cells. As calcium concentrations decreased, the amount of parathyroid hormone (PTH) released per cell increased, and cells were recruited to release PTH. To confirm that adequate stores of PTH were present, immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization were performed. To test if cells that did not release PTH were capable of secretion, we performed a sequential RHPA; 47.8% of cells did not release PTH after the first stimulus. After the second exposure to low concentrations of calcium, 26.5% of these "nonsecretory" cells were able to release PTH. We conclude that parathyroid cells are homogeneous for PTH content and synthetic capability. Parathyroid cells respond to changes in extracellular calcium heterogeneously in that more PTH per cell is released, and individual parathyroid cells are "recruited" to release PTH at low calcium concentrations. In addition, parathyroid cells can be induced to secrete suggesting that cells are viable but in a depressed secretory state. Parathyroid cells may exist in an "on" or "off" secretory state.
