The Impact of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Bone Remodeling Expressed by the P1NP/βCTX Ratio: a Single-Center Prospective Cohort Study
Abstract
Bariatric surgery seems to decrease bone mineral density and increase the risk of fatigue fractures. P1NP (bone formation) and βCTX (bone resorption) were recently validated as reference bone turnover markers (BTM). To assess changes in bone remodeling in severely obese patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) by using a new composite biomarker, the P1NP/βCTX ratio. We prospectively collected blood samples preoperatively, at 1 month...
