Abstract:
Recent advances in the use of parathyroid hormone as a therapeutic agent include a controlled trial that assessed vertebral and non-vertebral fracture risk reduction in women, trials in men, and assessment of treatment on cortical and trabecular bone structure. The occurrence of osteosarcoma in long-term toxicology studies in rats is briefly reviewed.
