Genetic variability in adult bone density among inbred strains of mice

More than 70% of the variability in human bone density has been attributed to genetic factors as a result of studies with twins, osteoporotic families, and individuals with rare heritable bone disorders. We hav weiter...

Effect of treatment for 3 months with human parathyroid hormone 1-34 peptide in ovariectomized cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis)

Clinical data suggest that PTH may increase cancellous bone mass at the expense of cortical bone in human beings. In this study, the effects of PTH on whole body, axial and appendicular bone mass were studied i weiter...

Treatment with growth hormone and IGF-I in growing rats increases bone mineral content but not bone mineral density

Human growth hormone (hGH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) both stimulate bone formation and have been proposed as therapeutic agents for osteoporosis. We examined the effect of hGH and IGF-I alone and weiter...

Differentiating between orchiectomized rats and controls using measurements of trabecular bone density: a comparison among DXA, histomorphometry, and peripheral quantitative computerized tomography

In studies of rat bone metabolism, trabecular bone density should be measured. Three established methods of measuring trabecular bone include trabecular bone volume by histomorphometry (BV/TV%), trabecular bone weiter...
