Circulating Myokine Levels and Bone Metabolism

Registration Number
NCT04206618
Lead Sponsor
424 General Military Hospital
Brief Summary

Circulating levels of several myokines will be measured in serum samples obtained from women in various categories of bone density and according to the presence of fracture or not as well as before and after treatment with teriparatide and denosumab
