    Objective: To determine the effect of a sudden decrease in estrogen levels via bilateral oophorectomy on serum turnover markers and to examine their correlation with bone mineral density (BMD). Study design: This study included 51 women who had regular menses preoperatively and underwent bilateral oophorectomy for benign reasons. These women did not have any systemic disease or drug use that would influence bone metabolism. For each woman, spine and femur BMD were measured preoperatively and sixth months after surgery. Serum C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) and bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) were measured preoperatively and at the first and sixth months after surgery. Correlations between bone turnover markers and BMD were pre- and post-operatively analyzed. Results: The mean serum CTX and BAP concentrations at the first and sixth postoperative months were significantly higher compared to the preoperative measurements (p = 0.001). Spine BMD values at the sixth postoperative month was significantly lower compared to preoperative period (p = 0.0001). There was a significant negative correlation between spine BMD values and BAP levels both in the preoperative period and at the sixth postoperative month (r = -0.407, p = 0.001), whereas a significant positive correlation between serum CTX and BAP was noted at this time periods (r = 0.615, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that serum BAP and CTX levels rapidly increase in women after bilateral oophorectomy. Therefore, these markers (especially BAP) could be useful in the evaluation of osteoporosis risk in the early period of surgical menopause. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
