    Summary · context
    All studied subjects (n=51) had postmenopausal osteoporosis, had been receiving long-term treatment with glucocorticoid plus estrogen or estrogen/progesterone and were randomly allocated either to a group receiving hPTH, 400 U/day (n=28), or to a control group (n=23).

    In women with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, hPTH increased BSAP over 80% at 3 months and maintained it 90% above baseline thereafter.
