To clarify the relationship between collagenase-like peptidase (CL-peptidase) and bone metabolism, serum CL-peptidase activity and bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine, measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), were determined in 102 women with a mean age of 70 (41–94) years. The serum activity of CL-peptidase increased slightly with age up to the 8th decade, and then decreased. Next, we classified the subjects into the following 2 groups by age: a postmenopausal group 50–69 years, and an elderly group over 70 years. In the younger group serum CL-peptidase activity did not correlate with BMD, while in the elderly it did. Our result suggests that serum CL-peptidase activity may reflect bone resorption in elderly women.Downloads
