Does Bone Resorption Stimulate Periosteal Expansion? A Cross‐Sectional Analysis of β‐C‐telopeptides of Type I Collagen (CTX), Genetic Markers of the RANKL Pathway, and Periosteal Circumference as Measured by pQCT
We hypothesized that bone resorption acts to increase bone strength through stimulation of periosteal expansion. Hence, we examined whether bone resorption, as reflected by serum β‐C‐telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX), is positively associated with periosteal circumference (PC), in contrast to in...
