From: Relationship between bone density and bone metabolism in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
The distribution of bone metabolism markers in female by age. Bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) is a marker of bone formation and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase serum band 5 (TRAP5b) is a marker of bone resorption. Solid lines represent the mean and the dotted lines represent ± 1.88SD. Normal values were referenced according to data of Rauchenzauner et al. [14].
