Source sentences
The results showed that on day 28 and day 42 after fracture, bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and ultimate load to failure of the calluses were significantly increased in the PTH-treated group compared with controls (day 28, 61, 46, and 32%; day 42, 119, 74, and 55%, respectively).

Unilateral femoral fractures were produced and a daily subcutaneous injection of 10 microg/kg of PTH(1-34) was administered during the entire healing period. Control animals were injected with vehicle solution alone.
