Fig. 1From: Correlation of blood bone turnover biomarkers and Wnt signaling antagonists with AS, DISH, OPLL, and OYLBone turnover factors and Wnt signaling antagonists in patients with AS and controls. Serum levels of OSC (**p < 0.01) were higher but those of DKK-1 (**p < 0.01) and OPG (*p < 0.05) were lower in the patients with AS than in the controls. Serum levels of SFRP-1and SOST were not significantly different between the AS patients and controls. (OSC, SFRP-1, and OPG: ng/ml; Dkk-1, SOST: pg/mL)Back to article page
