Changes in serum RANKL and OPG with sexual development and their associations with bone turnover and bone mineral density in a cohort of girls

Objectives: To characterize the variations of serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANK ligand (RANKL) with sexual development in adolescent girls, and to estimate their associations with bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD). Design and methods: We studied 300 girls evaluated at 13 and 17 years o...
