Abstract
In conclusion, our results demonstrate that switching from ZOL to TPTD resulted in a non-attenuated anabolic response in the lumbar spine and femur of OVX rats. In addition, switching from TPTD to ZOL caused BMD to be maintained or further increased. If these results can be reproduced in a clinical setting, the sequential use of ZOL followed by TPTD or vice versa in the treatment of osteoporosis patients would contribute to increases in BMD that, hopefully, would translate into a corresponding decrease in the incidence of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures.
