Examination of markers for bone formation and bone resorption by Real-time PCR and EILISA.

<p>a The mRNA expression level of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) in each group. b The mRNA expression level of Runx2 in each group. c The mRNA expression level of bone sialoprotein (BSP) in each group. d The mRNA expression level of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in each group. e The serum concentration of intact N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP) in each group. f The serum concentration of osteocalcin in each group. g The serum concentration of C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX-I) in each group. h The serum concentration of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) in each group. Bars represent the mean ± SEM (n=6 for each group). *<i>p</i><0.05.
