Association of serum chemerin with calcium, alkaline phosphatase and bone mineral density in postmenopausal females

Abstract: Objectives: To investigate the association of serum chemerin with calcium, alkaline phosphatase and bone mineral density in postmenopausal non-osteoporotic and osteoporotic females. Methods: This cross-section analysis was carried out at the orthopedic department of Madina Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan, in the year 2017-2019. Postmenopausal females were divided into two groups according to their bone mineral density (BMD). All osteoporotic females had a T-score of -2.5 or less. Data were analyz… Show more

“…In addition, serum RARRES2 levels were found to be independent negative predictor of BMD at the right and left femoral neck. Similar results were observed in other studies in which they found significantly increased levels of RARRES2 in osteoporotic patients ( 5 , 20 ). In another study conducted on Chinese obese postmenopausal women, similar findings were observed.…”

“…However, an in vitro study used Alizarin Red S staining and serum T-ALP measurements in cultured bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate osteogenesis and suggested that increased BMD and T-ALP activity can prevent OVX-induced osteoporosis in rats [ 33 ]. Furthermore, a cross-sectional Pakistani study showed no correlation between BMD and serum T-ALP levels by linear regression analysis ( p = 0.869) [ 13 ]. Thus, further studies based on larger statistical samples are required to substantiate the significance of the serum T-ALP and BMD correlations.…”

“…They can be measured in urine or serum and can indicate the bone turnover rate [ 5 ]. As serum T-ALP levels have been considered a potential biomarker of bone formation and are widely used in routine screening tests [ 13 ], several studies have demonstrated that serum T-ALP is a useful indicator for assessing and tracking the presence or absence of osteoporosis [ 14 ]. However, there is no consistent conclusion about the association between serum T-ALP and BDM.…”

“…There have been several studies on the relationship between body mass index and bone mineral density in women, but only a few on men so far (6). The preservation of the skeletal system is determined by calcium, which is one of the essential minerals involved in bone homeostasis and is linked to increased bone minerals (7)(8). Reduced (BMI) is a good risk factor for future fracture (9).…”
