    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    Fifteen subjects were each studied on four occasions in a randomized, single-blind, crossover study after receiving 1) oral placebo, iv saline; 2) oral glucose, iv saline; 3) oral glucose, iv octreotide; or 4) iv octreotide alone.
    Summary · context
    We measured serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, osteocalcin, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide, PTH, insulin, ionized calcium, and glucose over 4 h.
