Anabolic skeletal therapy for osteoporosis

Abstract: Antiresorptive agents for osteoporosis are a cornerstone of therapy, but anabolic drugs have recently widened our therapeutic options. By directly stimulating bone formation, anabolic agents reduce fracture incidence by improving bone qualities besides increasing bone mass. In this article, we review the role of anabolic treatment for osteoporosis. The only anabolic agent currently approved in the United States for osteoporosis, teriparatide [recombinant human parathyroid hormone(1-34)], has clearly emerged as… Show more

“…It may be one option for treating osteoporosis in men because it is associated with major gains in BMD at the lumbar spine, but less at the hip 4,14,80,8486. Bone formation markers also increased with this treatment, and the risk of fracture reduced by 51% 87.…”

“…(18) The anabolic action of PTH on bone has been validated in humans(1921) and its antifracture efficacy established in postmenopausal osteoporotic women. (22) At present, however, the physiologic basis of PTH anabolism remains unclear.…”
