ddY mice, 6 weeks of age, were neurectomized (Nx) in the right hindlimbs and sham-operated (Sham) in the left limbs for evaluation of the effects of intermittent injections of human parathyroid hormone (hPTH) on trabecular bone turnover and bone marrow cell development in unloaded and loaded limbs.
Mice were given subcutaneous injections of hPTH(1-34) five times a week at a dose of 0 (vehicle), 4 (low dose), or 40 (high dose) microg/kg of body weight for 2, 4, or 6 weeks.
