We isolated and characterized a peptide fragment corresponding to amino acid sequence 14-28 of human osteocalcin in urine from Paget's disease, and developed a polyclonal antibody reactive to this peptide in urine. We used this antibody to measure urinary fragments of osteocalcin and compared to efficacy of the urinary osteocalcin assay with a serum osteocalcin (sOC) assay (ELISA-Osteo, Cis-Bio International)...
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) increases both bone formation and bone resorption processes. To test the hypothesis that treatment with an antiresorber along with IGF-1, during the pubertal growth phase, would be more effective than IGF-1 alone to increase peak bone mass, we used an IGF-1 MIDI mouse model, which exhibits a >60% reduction in circulating IGF-1 levels. We first determined an...
The mouse is increasingly being used as an animal model for the study of skeletal phenotypes in humans, mainly because of the ease of genetic manipulation. Biochemical markers of bone metabolism provide a valuable parameter for the assessment of skeletal metabolism. In the mouse model, assays for bone formation have been available for a long time; however, little is known about bone resorption markers...
