Abstract
Clinical and research laboratories routinely measure various hormonal and nonhormonal parameters of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and markers of bone turnover. Such measurements may help clinical decision-making relating to metabolic bone disease and osteoporosis. Molecular biological and cell-culture techniques are being used in basic biochemical research on bone-cell metabolism. Results may aid understanding of normal and abnormal regulation of the bone-cell metabolism, and thus provide further insights relating to the diagnosis and prevention of osteoporosis.
