Concentrations of Serum Markers of Type I Collagen Synthesis and Degradation and Serum Osteocalcin in Maternal and Umbilical Circulation

Measurement was made of the serum carboxyl-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), carboxyl terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) and osteocalcin in 17 full-term mother-infant pairs and 17 age-matched nonpregnant women. Serum PICP and ICTP of term women at the time of...

Summary:Measurement was made of the serum carboxyl-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), carboxyl terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) and osteocalcin in 17 full-term mother-infant pairs and 17 age-matched nonpregnant women. Serum PICP and ICTP of term women at the time of delivery were significantly higher (P
