Summary
To investigate the effect of menatetrenone on bone turnover in postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis. One month of menatetrenone therapy enhanced the secretion and gamma-carboxylation of osteocalcin. Moderate increases of bone resorption and formation markers were observed after 6 months. These changes may contribute to fracture prevention in patients with osteoporosis.
