Before the intervention, the levels of osteocalcin, serum calcium, PINP, β-CTX, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were not significantly different between the two groups (<i>P</i> > 0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, the PN group exhibited higher levels of osteocalcin, serum calcium, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, as well as lower levels of PINP and β-CTX, compared to the RD group (<i>P</i> < 0.05). In both groups, osteocalcin, serum calcium, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were significantly higher, while PINP and β-CTX levels were significantly lower after 12 weeks of intervention compared to baseline (<i>P</i> ","PeriodicalId":23896,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Psychiatry","volume":"15 2","pages":"99008"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11758049/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143459727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
