Bone Quality, Biochemical and Blood Markers in High Power Electrical Workersf.

In this study, we investigated bone mineral density, body fat rates, products of bone formation and deformation and some blood parameters of the high power electrical line workers and compared to those control group. Bone mineral density and body fat rates were measured by wholebody bone densitometer. For the other parameters, blood was taken from experiment and control groups at 8:30 of morning as hunger and bone formation and deformation products (calcitonin, PTH, osteocalsin c-telopeptide, creatin) and other biochemical markers (Glucose, urea, totalprotein, AST, ALT, ALP, uric acid, Globulin, Bilirubin I) were measured by autoanalyser in the laboratory and other blood parameters (RBC, WBC, Hgb, Hct, pH ) were measured by hemogram apparatus. In the bone mineral density values of the experimental group did not observed statistically significant changes compared to the control group. In the experimental group, body fat rate was observed to decrease (p>0.05). Glucose, urea, total protein, globulin, osteocalcine and ALP values were increased (respectively, p<0,05; p<0,005; p<0,05; p<0,05; p<0,05; p<0,001). In the other parameters ( WBC, Hgb, Hct, pH, AST, ALT, uric acide, Bilirubin I, calcitonin, PTH, c-telopeptide, creatin ve Ca ) did not observed any significant change ( p>0.05).
