Osteoporosis

A condition characterized by decreased bone density and increased fragility of bones, leading to higher risk of fractures.

Calcitriol Levels

Calcitriol levels refer to the concentration of calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, in the body, which is crucial for maintaining bone health and calcium homeostasis.

Calcitonin

Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that helps regulate blood calcium levels by lowering them when high.

Osteoblast Activity

The process involving bone-forming cells responsible for bone growth and the synthesis of new bone tissue.
