The aim of this study was to determine interrelationships between final body weight, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), IGF1 and morphological, densitometric and mechanical properties of deciduous mandibular teeth isolated from seven healthy Polish Merino rams. Four incisors (I1–I4) and second premolar (P2) were obtained from 5-month-old sheep. Teeth were cleaned, weighed, and their length was measured. Mean volumetric tooth mineral...

The aim of the study was to evaluate relationships between morphometric, densitometric and mechanical properties of tarsometatarsus in ostriches (Struthio camelus). Males (n=9) and females (n=15) were kept to slaughter age of 14 months of life to obtain left tarsometatarsus. Using computed tomography technique (Somatom Emotion, Siemens), volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the trabecular (Td) and cortical bone (Cd) were measured. Areal BMD and ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate relationships between morphometric, densitometric and mechanical properties of tibiotarsus in ostriches (Struthio camelus). 14-month-old males (N=15) and females (N=31) were slaughter to obtain left tibiotarsus. Using computed tomography technique (Somatom Emotion scaner, Siemens), volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the trabecular (Td) and cortical bone (Cd), mean voulmetric bone mineral density (MvBMD) and...

Introduction: Serum 25(OH)D concentrations for optimal bone metabolism in children is unknown. Only few data exist describing the effects of increasing serum 25(OH)D on bone metabolism markers.Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the association between serum 25(OH)D and bone metabolism markers in children.Patients and methods: Serum levels of bone formation (OC, P1NP) and bone resorption (CTx) markers (Cobas e411, Roche Diagno...

The aim of the study was to evaluate interrelationships between morphometric, densitometric and mechanical properties of femur in ostriches (Struthio camelus). 14-month-old male and female ostriches (N=46) were slaughtered to obtain left femur for analyses. Using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) technique, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the trabecular (Td) and cortical bone (Cd) were measured. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) ...
