Levels of soluble MET, PlGF, VEGF, VEGF-R2, c-Kit, and sFlt-1 were quantified using multiplexed sandwich immunoassays with electrochemiluminescent detection (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD) following the manufacturer's instructions. Levels of HGF were analyzed using an analyte-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) following the manufacturer's instructions and were compared to a standard curve. Samples were prepared and analyzed as previously described [36 (link)]. Levels of sCTx were quantified using the Serum Crosslaps ELISA (IDS Nordic, Herlev, Denmark) following the manufacturer's instructions. Levels of P1NP were quantified by radioimmunoassay (RIA) using the UniQ PINP RIA kit following the manufacturer's instructions and were compared to a standard curve (Covance Laboratories). Levels of BALP were quantified using the Access Ostase assay, a one-step immunoenzymatic assay, following the manufacturer's instructions (Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, IN).
Access ostase assay
The Access Ostase assay is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase in the blood. This enzyme is produced by active bone-forming cells and provides information about bone formation activity.

Bone Turnover Biomarker Assessment
Osteoporosis Induction and Analysis
Ostase assay (Beckman access, Beckman Coulter Inc. Fullerton, CA, USA) (Gao et al. 2011 ). The right tibias were removed and stored at -20 ºC for 30 days until the analysis, afterward they were thawed at room temperature for four hours. Finally, the tibias were placed centrally in their anatomical position on the scanner table.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
