title: Biochemical markers of bone turnover in girls with secondary amenorrhoea.
abstract: Our aim has been to evaluate the influence of menstrual disturbances of the secondary amenorrhoea type on the metabolism of bone tissue. We pursued this goal by determining selected biochemical markers of bone metabolism. Alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin were used as indices of bone remodelling. Deoxypiridinoline was used as an index of bone tissue resorption.
