Cartilage and bone biomarkers ratio in OCD patients at one-year follow-up and healthy subjects. (a)-(b) CTXII/CPII and C2C/CPII cartilage ratio at 1 year treated (T2) OCD patients and healthy subjects. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Dotted line at 1 represents the point of equilibrium between synthesis and degradation. (c) TRAP5b/OC bone ratio at 1 year treated (T2) OCD patients and healthy subjects. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Dotted line at 1 represents the point of equilibrium between synthesis and degradation. Significant results are indicated.
