In glucocorticoid-challenged ovariectomized rabbits, abaloparatide reversed vertebral areal BMD deficits compared with GC-OVX controls.
In plain wordsIn ovariectomized rabbits given glucocorticoids, abaloparatide improved vertebral bone density compared with GC-OVX controls.

These deficits were significantly reversed in the ABL25 group, which also showed enhanced trabecular micro-architecture versus GC-OVX controls.

GC-OVX rabbits showed significant deficits in vertebral and proximal femur areal BMD, lower cortical area, thickness and volumetric BMD of the femur diaphysis, and reduced trabecular bone volume and volumetric BMD in the vertebra and distal femur versus sham controls.
This study assessed abaloparatide effects on BMD and bone strength in ovariectomized (OVX) rabbits with glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteopenia.
GC-challenged rabbits (8/group) then received GC (0.5 mg/kg/day) along with daily s.c. vehicle (GC-OVX), abaloparatide 5 μg/kg/day (ABL5), or 25 μg/kg/day (ABL25) for 12 weeks, and the no-GC OVX and sham controls received daily vehicle.
