Bone turnover and mineral metabolism in the last trimester of pregnancy: effect of multiple gestation

To test the hypothesis that maternal bone turnover and mineral stress are greater in multiple pregnancy than in singleton pregnancy. We measured serum markers of bone turnover and mineral stress in 17 multiple and 30 singleton pregnancies during the third trimester. Serum 25(OH) vitamin D, a marker...

Zusammenfassung:To test the hypothesis that maternal bone turnover and mineral stress are greater in multiple pregnancy than in singleton pregnancy. We measured serum markers of bone turnover and mineral stress in 17 multiple and 30 singleton pregnancies during the third trimester. Serum 25(OH) vitamin D, a marker of vitamin D intake, was higher (61 ± 5 versus 39 ± 2 ng/mL, P
