Teriparatide acetate hydrate (Human parathyroid hormone-(1-34) acetate hydrate) (20 μg/kg, i.h.; daily, for 4 weeks; female New Zealand white rabbits) increases the cortical thickness and porosity[1].
Animal Model: | Female New Zealand white rabbits[1] |
Dosage: | 20 μg/kg |
Administration: | Subcutaneous injection; daily, for 4 weeks |
Result: | Increased the pore ratio, number, and density as well as the cortical area, thickness, and bone mineral content (BMC), without significant influencing the volumetric bone mineral density (BMD). |
