Bone marrow cells from 7 days 40 microg/kg of teriparatide treated or saline control mice were cultured and Osx and osteoblast phenotypic gene expression assessed by real-time RT-PCR in these cells.
Fractured animals injected daily with either saline or 40 microg/kg of teriparatide for up to 21 days were X-rayed and histological assessment performed, as well as immunohistochemical analyses of the Osx expression in the fracture callus.
