Abstract
A six-month glucocorticoid treatment of ovariectomized sheep resulted in a substantial reduction of bone formation both in cortical and in cancellous bone and reduced cortical width by increased endosteal resorption. Beyond changes in cancellous bone, impaired cortical bone remodeling may add to the increased fracture risk at the hip or the distal radius in patients treated with steroids.
