1 Osteoclast function, bone turnover and inflammatory cytokines during infective exacerbations of cystic fibrosis  Elizabeth F. Shead, Charles S. Haworth, Helen Barker, Diana Bilton, Juliet E. Compston  Journal of Cystic Fibrosis  Volume 9, Issue 2, Pages (March 2010) DOI: /j.jcf Copyright © 2009 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Variations in osteoclast formation and activity during an infective exacerbation. (A) Formation of TRAP positive cells and (B) resorption activity both increased at day 1 and day 14 compared to baseline (*p<0.05).

3 Fig. 2 Variations in markers of bone metabolism during infective exacerbation. (A) Serum levels of osteocalcin at baseline were significantly lower than normal control levels. (B) Serum levels of NTx were significantly increased at day 14 compared to baseline (*p<0.05).

4 Fig. 3 Correlations between osteoclast formation and activity and markers of bone metabolism during infective exacerbation. (A) Formation of TRAP positive cells and resorption activity (p<0.05) and (B) serum levels of NTx and resorption activity (p<0.01) were significantly correlated during infective exacerbation.
