title: [New biochemical markers of bone turnover in serum].
abstract: Measurement of serum NTx and serum CTx has been recently reported to be a sensitive for osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease. It indicates that the measurement of serum NTx and serum CTx, biochemical markers of bone resorption, predict long-term changes in vertebral BMD in elderly women receiving biophosphonate therapy and provide a useful tool to assess skeletal health.
