Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the kinetics of short-term changes in bone turnover. We studied in a randomized crossover design the effects of 6 days of bed rest on eight healthy male subjects (mean body wt: 70.1 ± 5.7 kg; mean age: 25.5 ± 2.9 yr). The metabolic ward period was divided into three parts: 4 ambulatory days, 6 days of either bed rest or non-bed rest periods, and 1 recovery day. The diet was identical in both bed rest and non-bed rest phases. Continuous urine collection started on the first day in the metabolic ward to analyze excretion of bone resorption markers, namely C-telopeptide (CTX) and N-telopeptide (NTX), creatinine, urea, and 3-methylhistidine. On the second ambulatory day and on the fifth day of bed rest or during the non-bed rest phase, blood was drawn to analyze bone formation markers and amino acid concentrations. Urinary calcium excretion was increased as early as the first day of bed rest ( P < 0.01). CTX and NTX excretion stayed unchanged during the first 24 h of bed rest compared with the non-bed rest period. However, already on the second day, both resorption markers had increased significantly. NTX excretion increased by 28.7 ± 14.0% ( P < 0.01), whereas CTX excretion rose by 17.8 ± 8.3% ( P < 0.001). Creatinine, urea, and 3-methylhistidine excretion did not change. We conclude that 24 h of bed rest are sufficient to induce a significant rise in osteoclast activity in healthy subjects.
