Modifications in Bone Matrix of Estrogen-Deficient Rats Treated with Intermittent PTH

Modifications in Bone Matrix of Estrogen-Deficient Rats Treated with Intermittent PTH

Bone matrix dictates strength, elasticity, and stiffness to the bone. Intermittent parathyroid hormone (iPTH), a bone-forming treatment, is widely used as a therapy for osteoporosis. We investigate whether low doses of intermittent PTH (1-34) change the profile of organic components in the bone matr...
