  • Title: [Osteocalcin].
    Author: Pietschmann P.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1990 Oct 15; 140(18-19):493-4. PubMed ID: 2251846.
    Abstract:
    The serum levels of osteocalcin, a 49 amino acid bone matrix protein have been found to represent a specific biochemical parameter of bone formation. The serum osteocalcin levels are influenced by age, sex and the time of blood sampling. In various studies on osteoporosis, endocrinopathies and other diseases which might be associated with bone disorders, the determination of serum osteocalcin levels has been proved to be an interesting research tool. However, further studies are necessary to clarify, whether the measurement of serum osteocalcin levels should be recommended in general clinical praxis.
