This process involves two main types of cells: \u003cstrong data-start=\"192\" data-end=\"207\"\u003eosteoblasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, which help build new bone, and \u003cstrong data-start=\"240\" data-end=\"255\"\u003eosteoclasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, which break down old bone tissue. Bone metabolism is regulated by hormones, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone. Laboratory tests using methods like \u003cstrong data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"496\"\u003eCLIA (Chemiluminescent Immunoassay)\u003c\/strong\u003e can measure bone metabolism markers in blood, including osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D, primarily produced in the skin through sunlight exposure, is biologically inactive until hydroxylated in the liver and kidneys to form its active form. Most circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D is D3, while D2 is measurable mainly in those taking supplements. Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, muscle function, and calcium absorption. Deficiency can lead to rickets, osteomalacia, muscle weakness, and increased fracture risk, particularly in the elderly. It is also associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism and has been linked to various diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and immune disorders. Common testing methods include ELISA, chemiluminescence, and immunofluorescence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enlight","offers":[{"title":"24 TESTS","offer_id":52731132281131,"sku":null,"price":9468.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"48 TESTS","offer_id":52731132313899,"sku":null,"price":14400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/25-OH-01.jpg?v=1772867350"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/collections\/Bone_Metabolism.jpg?v=1772686720","url":"https:\/\/shop.encorebiomedicals.com\/collections\/bone-metabolism-1.oembed","provider":"Encore Biomedicals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
