Osteokines and Bone Markers at Rest and following Plyometric Exercise in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women

Table 3

Resting (preexercise) concentrations of Wnt-related osteokines, bone turnover markers, and estradiol in pre- and postmenopausal women. Data are the ().

Marker	Premenopausal women	Postmenopausal women	value
Sclerostin (pg/mL)	()	()	<0.001
DKK1 (pg/mL)	()	()	0.049
PINP (ng/mL)	()	()	0.422
CTXI (ng/mL)	()	()	0.001
PINP/CTXI (ratio)	()	()	0.09
Estradiol (pg/mL)	()	()	0.035

denotes significant difference. DKK1: dickkopf-1; CTXI: C-terminal crosslinking telopeptides of type I collagen; PINP: procollagen type I amino-terminal propeptide. Note: raw data are shown here for all markers; log transformed data were used for the independent -tests for PINP, CTXI, and PINP/CTXI.
