Abstract: The objective of this trial is to evaluate early response of rise dronate 150 mg once-a-month on N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I (P1NP), a highly specific marker of bone formation in postmenopausal women with low bone mass (T-score below -1.5). Methods. P1NP and serum Beta-Cross Laps (CTx) were evaluated in 80 postmenopausal Venezuelan women with low bone mass (T-score below -1.5) either at lumbar spine or femoral neck (Lunar Prodigy VC 1.5%). All patients received rise dronate 150 mg/month and calcium citrate 1500 mg (315mg Calcium ion) plus Vitamin D 200 units/day. P1NP and CTx were measured on fully automated cobas e411 (Electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer).
