The concomitant upregulation of MMP-9 and COL1A1 during bone formation was particularly intriguing.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
To identify novel PTH-regulated genes in bone during the anabolic response, we used differential display-polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) to analyze RNA from young male rats injected with either human PTH (1-34) or vehicle control, once daily for 5 days.
