Measurement of Volumetric Bone Mineral Density Accurately Determines Degree of Lumbar Undermineralization in Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency
TL;DR: Reduced lumbar BMDvolume indicates that apparent true bone density is decreased in children with GHD, suggesting a role of GH in bone mineralization.
Bone turnover in children with vitamin D deficiency rickets before and during treatment.
TL;DR: It is suggested that children with vitamin D deficiency rickets have increased bone turnover before and during the first weeks of treatment, and alkaline phosphatase is a more reliable marker than osteocalcin, PICP, ICTP and NTX for diagnosing and monitoring these patients.

Dynamics of bone turnover in children with GH deficiency treated with GH until final height
TL;DR: It is shown that children with GHD have reduced bone turnover at baseline, and that long-term GH treatment is associated with a stimulation of bone turnover, and OC, PICP, and ICTP do not predict growth rate during long- term treatment or final height in children withGHD.
Bone mineral density in adolescent females treated with L-thyroxine: a longitudinal study.
TL;DR: The data indicate that attainment of peak bone mass is not impaired byl-T4 administration, and long-terml-T 4 therapy in adolescent girls has no adverse effect on BMD and bone turnover.

TL;DR: The data show that polymorphism for BsmI restriction enzyme in the VDR gene is not associated with radial and lumbar BMD, parameters of phospho-calcium metabolism and bone turnover, growth hormone-dependent growth factors, and growth in prepubertal children.
