* signifies significant difference from baseline, p ≤ 0.05. P1NP = procollagen type I amino terminal propeptide, CTx = carboxyterminal crosslinked telopeptide.§ Szulc et al. (2001) reported CTx results in mmol·L. The units have been converted to ng·mlwith the following equation taken from (Crofton et al., 2002):(ng·L) = (pmol·L) · 138]/7.75.
