I. INTRODUCTION
The gamma-carboxy glutamic acid (Gla)-containing protein of mammalian bone (BGP, also called osteocalcin) is a 49 amino acid polypeptide containing two to three residues of gamma-carboxyglutamic acid. BGP is synthesized by osteoblastlike cells, and plasma BGP in laboratory animals is derived principally from recently synthesized BGP. These data, taken together with observations that plasma BGP levels are elevated in patients with disorders of high bone turnover, suggest that plasma BGP is a marker of osteoblast activity. Since low bone formation rates may play an important role in the loss of bone mass with age, we have examined the determinants of plasma BGP levels in aging subjects, using a region-specific radioimmunoassay forBGP based on the synthetic C-terminal peptide hBGP37-49. In 147 carefully screened healthy subjects, , BGP did not change with age, whereas alkaline phosphatase (AP) showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.30, P less than 0.001). Creatinine clearance (GFR) declined by 0.9 ml/min/yr and correlated with both BGP (r = -0.21, P less than 0.001) and AP (r = -0.21, P less than 0.001). However, correlation of AP with age persisted after controlling for GFR. BGP was not correlated with serum PTH, urine Ca/GFR, or urine cAMP/GFR. In 48 patients with known parenchymal renal disease studied for comparison, plasma BGP was increased at a serum creatinine of greater than or equal to 1.8 mg/dl. Our results indicate that plasma BGP, a specific marker of bone metabolism, is not predictably related to age . This result is in contrast to the age-related rise in total AP. Subtle changes in renal function can affect plasma BGP levels.
