pyridinoline cross-links (ICTP) and putative periodontal pathogens in periodontitis," Journal of Clinical Periodontology, vol.
Collagen maturity (1660 [cm.sup.-1] / 1690 [cm.sup.-1] peak intensity ratio) describes the ratio of mature (
pyridinoline) to immature (dehydro-dihydroxylysinonorleucine) collagen cross-links.
(2010) [111] demonstrated no significant effect of [omega]-3 fatty acids on bone formation markers (osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase) in osteoporotic women; it showed significant beneficial effects of n-fatty acids on bone resorption marker (
pyridinoline).
* Among patients with Graves' disease taking an antithyroid drug, those with subclinical hyperthyroidism had higher serum bone ALP and urinary
pyridinoline excretion than those who were euthyroid (51).
Assays of Pyrilinks-D (DPD),
pyridinoline, and N-terminal cross-linked peptides (NTx) in serum and urine have been advanced as sensitive and specific markers for bone resorption.
Effect of the menopause and hormone eplacement therapy on the carboxy-terminal
pyridinoline crosslinked telopeptide of type I collagen.
Calcium will be present in urine and bone markers of reabsorption, such as N-telopeptide
pyridinoline, and deoxypyridinoline may be present.
Immunoassay of
pyridinoline crosslink excretion in normal adults and in Paget's disease.
Genistein also statistically significantly decreased urinary excretion of
pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline, increased levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and insulin-like growth factor I, and did not change endometrial thickness compared with placebo.
Total serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary
pyridinoline are 2 of the most important lab tests for diagnosis of Paget disease.
