Brief Summary
Circulating levels of several myokines will be measured in serum samples obtained from women in various categories of bone density and according to the presence of fracture or not as well as before and after treatment with teriparatide and denosumab

Study Arms (8)
premenopausal normal
premenopausal women with normal BMD who will be subjected to a single morning, fasting blood drainage
postmenopausal normal
postmenopausal women with normal BMD who will be subjected to a single morning, fasting blood drainage
postmenopausal osteopenia
postmenopausal women with osteopenia who will be subjected to a single morning, fasting blood drainage
postmenopausal osteoporosis
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who will be subjected to a single morning, fasting blood drainage
hip fracture
postmenopausal women at the moment of hip fracture who will be subjected to a single, fasting blood drainage right before osteosynthesis
controls (knee osteoarthitis)
postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis who will be subjected to a single, fasting blood drainage right before arthroplasty and serve as controls
teriparatide group
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who will be treated with teriparatide (Forsteo) 1 injection of 20mcg subcutaneously daily for 12 months
denosumab group
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who will be treated with denosumab (Prolia) 1 injection of 60mg subcutaneously every 6 months for 12 months
Interventions
1 subcutaneous injection daily for 12 months
1 subcutaneous injection every 6 months for 12 months
Eligibility Criteria
Substudy 1: equal groups (n=25) of premenopausal women with normal BMD, postmenopausal women with normal BMD, postmenopausal women with osteopenia, and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis Substudy 2: postmenopausal women with an incident hip fracture (n=40) compared with controls (postmenopausal women with knee osteoarhtritis) Substudy 3: postmenopausal women with osteoporosis will receive treatment with either teriparatide or denosumab for 12 months
You may qualify if:
- Substudy 1:
- adult women
- Substudy 2:

- Substudy 3:
- postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
You may not qualify if:
- secondary osteoporosis
- any disease that could affect muscle and/or bone metabolism
- any medication that could affect muscle and/or bone metabolism
