Abstract:
:Calcium deficiency is a major etiological determinant of rickets in Nigerian children and is accompanied by undermineralization of the developing bone matrix which is composed largely of type I collagen. We have assessed types I and III collagen metabolism by measuring the circulating concentrations of teh N- and C-terminal pro-peptides (intact PINP and PICP) and the C-terminal telopeptide (ICTP) of type I collagen, and the N-terminal pro-peptide (PIIINP) of type III collagen in 94 healthy Nigerian children and in 44 children aged 1-5 years with active calcium-deficiency rickets. In active rickets the mean levels of the four collagen metabolites were approximately twofold higher than in the healthy children, despite a wide variation of individual values. Mean intact PINP was 812 +/- 279 versus 403 +/- 189 microg/liter; PICP was 573 +/- 265 versus 348 +/- 299 microg/liter; PIIINP was 16.8 +/- 8.6 versus 10.8 +/- 3.6 microg/liter, and ICTP was 28.4 +/- 17.2 versus 11.9 +/- 4.1 microg/liter (all P < 0.001), in rachitic and healthy children, respectively. Healthy children younger than 3 years had higher levels of all the collagen metabolites than those between 3 and 5 years (all P < 0.05). Alkaline phosphatase was greater in rickets than in the healthy group (P < 0.001) whereas mean osteocalcin levels were slightly lower (P = 0.009). 1,25(OH)2D correlated with all the collagen propeptides, but not with ICTP in the healthy children. No such correlations were found in rickets, where there was a poor inverse correlation between 1,25(OH)2D and ICTP. These data suggest that collagen turnover is elevated in cases of calcium-deficiency rickets, where vitamin D status is adequate, possibly indicating increased turnover of undermineralized osteoid.
