How can you use “ctx” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The assay has been described elsewhere [ 9 ] . All determinations of urinary CTX were corrected for creatinine.
The measurement of CTX isoforms, and the ratios between the native α Lform and the age-modified forms of CTX, indicative of the age of the resorbed collagen fragments, may thus provide clinical useful information for diagnosing and monitoring bone metastasis occurrence in cancer patients [ 11 ] . Such an application of the CTX bone resorption markers may be especially relevant for breast cancer patients, who have a high risk of developing bone metastases.
α D= D-aspartyl peptide; α L= L-aspartyl peptide; β D= D-isoaspartyl peptide; β L= L-isoaspartyl peptide; Cr = creatinine; CTX = crosslinked C-telopeptide of type I collagen; ELISA = enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, HC+ = hypercalcemic with bone metastases; NC+ = normocalcemic with bone metastases; NC- = normocalcemic without radiological signs of bone metastases; SD = standard deviation.
This in turn will result in increased amounts of the newly synthesised α LCTX form in the circulating pool of CTX fragments that is reflected in the elevated ratios [ 9 10 11 ] .
The α-CrossLaps radioimmunoassay [ 12 ] and the Cross-Laps ELISA [ 13 ] are commercially available immunoassays specific for the native (α L) and isomerised (β L) forms of CTX, respectively.
