Abstract :
We measured the levels of the pyridinoline crosslinked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) and osteocalcin (OC) in the serum of 12 rachitic and 27 healthy Nigerian children, and compared the performance of these relatively new markers of bone metabolism with established laboratory parameters of skeletal disease.
