The impact of dietary protein on calcium absorption and kinetic measures
of bone turnover in women.
After nine weeks, the group consuming extra protein had lower
levels of bone turnover and higher bone mineral density.
We hope that this will provide valuable information which in the future may allow the inclusion
of bone turnover markers in fracture risk estimation tools such as FRAX.»
«We were able to look in the blood of those patients before and after they had been treated with the drug for at least 28 days, and we observed less
indication of bone turnover,» says Welm.
Professor Adolfo Diez - Perez, Co-Chair of the Joint IOF - ECTS Adherence Working Group, stated, «The
use of bone turnover marker measurement to detect a lack of response to oral bisphosphonates is a practical and low - cost screening procedure which helps identify potential non-adherence in patients very early after treatment initiation.
Markers
of bone turnover tended to decrease on the high - protein diet but the decrease was not statistically significant.
Only the dried plum significantly decreased serum
levels of bone turnover markers, including bone - specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate - resistant acid phosphatase - 5b.
