Galactosyl hydroxylysine in assessment of Paget's bone disease.

Urinary galactosyl hydroxylysine/creatinine ratio (GHL) was used to assess rates of bone collagen degradation and the activity of the pagetic lesion as well as for monitoring the rate and degree of suppression of bone resorption over 1 year in patients treated with 30 mg of intravenous pamidronate for 3 consecutive days. The clinical utility of GHL was compared with that of urinary hydroxyproline/creatinine and deoxypyridinoline/creatinine and with bone isoenzyme of serum alkaline phosphatase. The results suggest that GHL is a quantitative marker of the activity of Paget's bone disease. GHL is less sensitive than hydroxyproline, deoxypyridinolone and bone alkaline phosphatase in monitoring treatment of Paget's disease. The assay of GHL is easier, faster and less costly than that of hydroxyproline or deoxypyridinoline and it can be easily standardized.

Urinary output of hydroxylysine glycosides and pyridinium cross-links in detecting rat bone collagen turnover rate.

Glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine (GGHYL), galactosylhydroxylysine (GHYL), pyridinoline (PYD) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) were measured in the urine (6 h serial specimens over 96 and 24 h urine specimens for 4 days) collected from four adult Sprague Dawley rats and in the femoral and tibia] bone as well as in the dorsal skin of the same rats. No significant daily variations were found in the urine excretion of GGHYL, GHYL, PYD and DPD but significant diurnal variations. The GGHYL/GHYL ratio in rat urine (0.46 +/- 0.1) reflected neither the bone collagen ratio (1.9 to 2.4) nor the skin collagen ratio (1.22 +/- 1.07), a finding that may reflect GGHYL conversion into GHYL. The content of both pyridinolines was very low in the skin and high in the bone collagen and the urinary PYD/DPD ratio (1.46 +/- 0.15) reflected essentially the bone collagen ratio (0.8-3.0). These results suggest the usefulness of measuring GGHYL, GHYL, PYD and DPD in 24 h urine specimen and, based on the inter-animal variations, the necessity to consider each animal as its own control when bone turnover needs to be monitored.
