Abstract
Abstract: Osteocalcin is a bone specific protein and is considered as an important marker in bone turn-over.The purpose of the study was to verify in post-menopausal women, the effect of yoga and medical treatment on osteocalcin. 45 post-menopausal women [59.6±5.9 years] are divided into 2 groups: yoga group [n = 20] and medical treatment group [n = 25]. Yoga and medical treatment were given for 3 months and pre- and post- serum osteocalcin levels were measured by ELISA using microplate ELISA kits.Statistical analysis was done using paired‘t’ and unpaired ‘t’ test and mean serum osteocalcin level before and after yoga were 31.82±6.48 and 20.46±10.15 with a p-value < 0.05 and mean serum osteocalcin levels before and after medical treatment were 33.49±3.24 and 21.70±7.56 with a p-value of < 0.05. Serum osteocalcin levels were found to be increased osteoporosis and were significantly decreased after yoga and medical treatment. But comparing the post serum osteocalcin levels between yoga and medical treatment have an insignificant difference. Hence yoga and medical treatment can be used in combination for management of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Keywords:Osteocalcin, osteoporosis, yoga, post-menopausal women
