Abstract

There are few reports on the comparison between teriparatide (PTH) and bisphosphonate (BP) in terms of osteoporosis pain-related behavior and immunohistochemical findings. The aims of this study were to evaluate skeletal pain associated with osteoporosis and to examine the inhibitory effect of PTH and BP on pain and bone loss in hind limb-unloaded (HU) mice. The mechanism of osteoporotic pain in HU mice was evaluated by examining pain-related behavior and immunohistochemical findings. The effects of PTH and alendronate (ALN), a potent osteoclast inhibitor, on these parameters were also assessed.
