Osteoprotegerin in pregnant adolescents differs by race and is related to infant birth weight z-score

Abstract: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is involved in the regulation of bone turnover, but little is known about this protein during pregnancy or among neonates. We undertook a prospective longitudinal study to identify relationships between OPG, markers of bone turnover and birth outcomes in 155 pregnant adolescents (13–18 years) and their newborns. Maternal blood samples were collected at mid-gestation and at delivery. Cord blood was obtained at delivery. Serum OPG, estradiol and markers of bone formation (osteocalcin) and r… Show more

“…During the third trimester, 1,25(OH) 2 D was a significant determinant of VO+, and dietary calcium intake at the third trimester was not significantly related to VO+, maternal 1,25(OH) 2 D, or PTH. A similar lack of a relation between dietary calcium intake and either 1,25(OH) 2 D (20) or bone turnover markers at either mid-or late gestation (46) has recently been reported in a cohort of 171 pregnant adolescents. In contrast, in each of our study groups at postpartum and in the entire cohort, dietary calcium intake was significantly positively associated with increased VO+.…”
