Table 3. Correlations between bone biochemical parameters and the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the studied groups.
iPTH: intact parathyroid hormone, OC: osteocalcin, β-CTX: β- C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, P1NP: N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen, MMP-1: metalloproteinase-1, MMP-2: metalloproteinase-2. The asterisk (*) indicates the statistically significant correlation between the studied parameters.
