Deoxypyridinoline is present in the bone and is excreted unmetabolized in urine.
In this research we have investigated the use of two bone biomarkers, one for bone reabsorption (urinary deoxypyridinoline, Dpd) and the other for bone formation (bone specific alkaline phosphatase, BAP) in sedentary and physically active SCI men, to establish the rate of bone turnover.
In the current analysis, a significant reduction in urinary deoxypyridinoline was not observed in those studies with isoflavones of less than 90 mg/day.
