Abstract Calcium plays a fundamental role as second messenger in intracellular signaling and bone serves as the body’s calcium reserve to tightly maintain blood calcium levels. Calcium in ingested meal is the main supply and inadequate calcium intake causes osteoporosis and bone fracture. Here, we describe a novel mechanism of how ingested calcium is deposited on bone. Meal ingestion elicits secretion of the gut hormone gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) from endocrine K cells in the duodenum. Bone histomorphometrical analyses revealed that bone formation parameters in the mice lacking GIP receptor (GIPR−/−) were significantly lower than those of wild-type (GIPR+/+) mice, and that the number of osteoclasts, especially multinuclear osteoclasts, was significantly increased in GIPR−/− mice, indicating that GIPR−/− mice have high-turnover osteoporosis. In vitro examination showed the percentage of osteoblastic cells undergoing apoptosis to be significantly decreased in the presence of GIP. Because GIPR−/− mice exhibited an increased plasma calcium concentration after meal ingestion, GIP directly links calcium contained in meal to calcium deposition on bone.

The role of moderate exercise in the prevention of high-turnover osteoporosis was investigated by the use of an animal model. The effect of chronic training on gravimetric, mineral, physical, and histological parameters of normal bone was also examined. Fifty-six adult female Long-Evans rats were divided into four groups: sedentary (C) and exercising controls (E) and sedentary (O) and exercising osteoporotics (EO). Exercising animals ran 4 h/wk for 1 yr. Two percent NH4Cl added to drinking water induced osteoporosis as shown by significantly lower femoral density and breaking strength and histomorphometrically quantified tibial trabecular bone volume but a normal mineral-to-matrix ratio in the O rats. The development of high-turnover osteoporosis in O rats was confirmed by significantly higher alkaline phosphatase activity (P less than 0.05), urinary hydroxyproline content (P less than 0.01), resorption surfaces (P less than 0.01), and histological parameters of bone formation (P less than 0.01). Exercise prevented all these biochemical, biophysical, and histological abnormalities in the EO group. Exercise had no influence on the density of normal femurs but tended to increase their breaking strength (by 11%) compared with femurs of C rats (P = 0.11).

Abstract Background and Aims The diagnosis and the differentiation of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) are challenging. Bone biopsy is the golden standard, but it is invasive and not available in every center. Bone turnover rate is defined by bone formation rate and/or activation frequency. Adynamic bone disease is defined as low turnover bone with reduced osteoblast- and osteoclast activities. Hyperparahyreoid bone disease or osteitis fibrosa is defined as high turnover bone with osteoclast- and osteoblast activities and fibrosis. 18F- Sodium Fluoride positron emission tomography (18F-NaF PET) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows assessment of regional bone turnover. The aim was to assess how well bone turnover –based classification of ROD correlates with the classification determined by an expert histomorphometrist (HK), and how these correlate with 18F-NaF PET analysis Method A total of 24 dialysis patients underwent a 18F-NaF PET scan. Fluoride activity was measured at the anterior iliac crest and in the lumbar region. An iliac crest bone biopsy was obtained within 4 weeks from the PET-scan. The diagnosis of bone histomorphometry was determined based on turnover-mineralization-volume (TMV) classification. Firstly, bone turnover was assessed using bone formation rate and activation frequency. Secondly, also other histomorphometric parameters (eg. osteoid volume, osteoid surface, resorption surface, mineralized surface, osteoblast and osteoclast surfaces and peritrabecular fibrosis) were also taking into account for classification of ROD by a histomorphometrist. Results Based on bone turnover parameters only, 12% of the patients had high turnover and 64% low turnover. When the diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy was made by a histomorphometrist, 40% had hyperparathyreoid bone/osteitis fibrosa and 24% adynamic bone disease or ostemalasia. 18F-NaF PET´s sensitivity to recognize hyperparathyreoid bone disease was 80% end specificity 100% (cut-of value 0.055).18F-NaF PET´s sensitivity to recognize adynamic bone disease was 100% and specificity 61% (cut-of value of fluoride-activity 0.038) Conclusion 18F-NaF PET works well as a diagnostic tool, when the diagnosis of ROD is based on the histopathological evaluation. It remains unknown how variations in normal bone turnover rate can be detected in CKD patients by 18F-NaF PET and if treatment decisions of ROD can be made only based on bone turnover.

555 Background: The LEAP trial is an open, randomized, multicenter, Phase I pharmacodynamic study comparing the effects of the AIs L, E and A on safety parameters, such as serum markers of bone formation and resorption, lipid profiles, and adrenal function in healthy postmenopausal women with normal bone mineral density at the spine and hip. Elevated bone biochemical levels indicate high turnover of bone, and correlate with a loss in bone mineral density. It has been suggested that there are differences between the effect of the steroidal AIs (E) and non-steroidal AIs (A and L) on bone turnover, with steroidal AIs having a less negative effect. Methods: Healthy volunteersfrom the UK and Hungarywere randomized to receive A (1 mg/day), L (2.5 mg/day), or E (25 mg/day) orally, once daily for 24 weeks. Changes from baseline in log-transformed bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum C-telopeptide crosslinks (CTX), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP) at 24 weeks on A, were compared with those on L and E by ANCOVA, adjusting for treatment, baseline measurement, BMI, smoking status and baseline estradiol. No adjustments were made for multiple comparisons. Results: A total of 102 healthy volunteers were recruited, with 90 participants evaluable at 24 weeks (29 A, 29 L, 32 E). Participant demographics were similar between the treatment groups in terms of age, years since menopause, and history of hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Bone biochemical measurement changes are presented in the table . With the exception of PTH, where there is a greater decrease in PTH with E than with A (p=0.04), there were no statistically significant differences between the AIs. Conclusions: The steroidal and non-steroidal AIs appear to have similar effects on bone biochemical measurements, and thus bone turnover. All three licensed AIs result in increases in bone turnover.
