The relationship among circulating insulin‐like growth factor components, biochemical markers of bone turnover and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women under the age of 60

Abstract

Circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3 may be involved in the mechanism of bone loss in postmenopausal women under the age of 60. They may also provide indirect information on the current bone microenvironment different from that provided by new markers of bone turnover.
