1. α2HS-glycoprotein accumulates in bone and dentine and its plasma levels could vary in conditions in which the rate of bone formation is altered.

2. The plasma concentration of this protein was found to be lower in thirteen children suffering from protein–energy malnutrition compared with age-matched healthy preschool children.

3. This finding might be associated with the phenomenon of stunting in protein–energy malnutrition.
