    Summary
    Ovariectomy resulted in loss of trabecular bone, which was fully rescued using osteo-anabolic treatment, and partially rescued using anti-resorptive treatment.

    Summary · context
    Eight weeks after surgery, OVX animals were further randomized to anti-resorptive treatment with zoledronate (n=11), osteo-anabolic treatment with teriparatide (n=11), or vehicle treatment (n=10).
    Summary · context
    After 12 weeks of treatment, bone and serum samples were used for microRNA analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS), mRNA levels using RT-qPCR, and bone microarchitecture analysis using nanoCT.

    Summary
    NGS revealed that both, anti-resorptive and anabolic treatment had a significant impact on miRNA levels in bone tissue and serum: out of 426 detected miRNAs, 46 miRNAs were regulated by teriparatide treatment an d 10 by zoledronate treatment (p-adj.<0.1).

    Summary
    Interestingly, teriparatide and zoledronate treatment were able to revert miRNA changes in tissue and serum of untreated OVX animals, such as the up-regulation of miR-203a-3p, a known osteo-inhibitory miRNA.
