Bone turnover markers in sheep and goat: a review of the scientific literature
Camassa, José A.; Diogo, Camila C.; Sousa, Cristina P.; Azevedo, Jorge T.; Viegas, Carlos A.; Reis, R. L.; Dourado, N.; Dias, Isabel R.Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are product of bone cell activity and are generally divided in bone formation and bone resorption markers. The purpose of this review was to structure the available information on the use of BTMs in studies on small ruminants, especially for monitoring their variations related to diet, exercise, gestation and metabolic lactation state, circadian and seasonal variations, and also dur...
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphate as biomarker of bone turnover over the lifesp...
Camassa, José A.; Diogo, Camila C.; Bordelo, João P. A.; Bonelli, Marília de A.; Viegas, Carlos A.; Azevedo, Jorge T.; Dourado, Nuno; Dias, Isabel R.Currently, the best resources for assessment of bone tissue using imaging techniques are expensive and available in few medical facilities, thus serum or urinary bone turnover biomarkers could be useful as early indicators of prognosis. However, there is a wide range of variability in bone turnover markers due to several factors, such as different ages and metabolic stages, thus it is important to have as much ...
