Correlation between serum iron and degradation of type I collagen. There was no correlation between serum iron, ALP, and TRACP. Elevated ALP and TRACP were not caused by iron overload. However, PINP and β-CTX levels were both positively correlated with iron levels (p < 0.01). Iron overload promoted the degradation of type I collagen.
