Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Teriparatide (PTH 1-34) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Teriparatide (PTH 1-34).

    In teriparatide-treated men with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, PINP changes correlated positively with FE strength changes.

    Summary
    Significant positive correlations were found between changes from baseline of PINP at 3, 6 and 18 months with changes in FE strength in the teriparatide-treated group, but not in the risedronate group.
