Abstract
None:
Bone metabolic markers consist of bone formation markers, which are secreted from osteoblasts (BAP, OC, P1CP, P1NP) , and bone resorption markers, which are metabolites of bone type 1 collagen or secreted from osteoclasts (PYD, DPD, NTX, CTX, 1CTP, TRACP) . Those bone metabolic markers are useful for : (1) diagnosis of bone metastases, (2) follow-up during treatment of bone metastases, and (3)predicting prognosis of bone metastases.

01:29Bone Disorders
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

01:40Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
