BACKGROUND. We investigated whether a new marker of bone turnover, pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), could be useful in the assessment of bone metastasis and in monitoring of the response to treatment in patients with prostate cancer with bone metastasi
## Objectives: 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 establ
