TL;DR
Results indicate that increasing intestinal absorption of dietary calcium while simultaneously stimulating new bone formation with small doses of parathyroid hormone can restore spinal bone in osteoporotic men.
Abstract
Daily subcutaneous injection of a synthetic human parathyroid hormone fragment, combined with daily ingestion of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D, significantly increased trabecular bone density in the spine (p less than .01), and improved intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption and total body retention of dietary calcium and phosphorus in middle-aged men with idiopathic osteoporosis. The increases in spinal bone mineral were marked and progressive during a year of treatment. These results indicate that increasing intestinal absorption of dietary calcium while simultaneously stimulating new bone formation with small doses of parathyroid hormone can restore spinal bone in osteoporotic men.

The results suggest that the resorptive effects of bPTH-(1-84) can be separated from the effects of the hormone on the apposition rate, and also found an increase in both formation and resorption surfaces and a net decrease in the trabecular bone volume in this group.

Those patients who had the largest increases in 47Ca-kinetic and histomorphometric indices of new bone formation showed the greatest increases in trabecular bone volume, suggesting that treatment with human parathyroid hormone fragment caused a dissociation between formation and resorption rates that was confined to trabECular bone.

In a prospective trial in 72 postmenopausal women to compare the effects on bone loss of no treatment, treatment with oestrogen, and treatment with calcium the women were followed up for at least two years and examined densitometristically and morphometrically.

It is possible that a deficiency in 1,25-(OH)2-D secretory reserve will explain the inability of elderly osteoporotic patients to adapt to the low-calcium diets common in this age group and this phenomenon may play a part in the pathogenesis of age-related osteoporeosis.

Results indicate that trabecular bone mass did not increase at the expense of cortical bone, and the bone response with changes in serum calcium or phosphate did not differ significantly from control serum calcium, serum phosphate, or serum phosphate.

The adult greyhound was found to be similar to adult man with respect to kinetic and histomorphometric indices of calcium metabolism and it is possible that the increased osteoblastic activity induced by the daily injection regime in trabecular bone is dependent on the noncontinuous nature of the PTH stimulus.

The effects of therapy with a small dose of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in 12 previously untreated patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis and eight patients studied before and after 6-8 months of placebo treatment had no significant change in any variable.

It is concluded that Parathyroid-extract-induced osteosclerosis is not due to compensatory changes in calcitonin secretion, and parathyroid hormone itself, and not a contaminating peptide, is the cause.

It is indicated that low doses of parathyroid hormone may promote bone formation, whereas higher doses clearly have an adverse effect on the skeleton.

The results show that PTH can enhance skeletal mass in both normal and osteoporotic rats, and in osteoporeotic animals the restoration of whole-body calcium and ash weight of individual bones is not accompanied by a return of the morphological structure of the tibia to normal.

There is little evidence that vitamin D or its metabolites are helpful in osteoporosis, except perhaps to heal osteomalacia which may be present, and it is hoped that encouraging results will follow the use of more potent vitamin D metabolites, either alone or in combination with other agents.

The most sensitive radiocalcium absorption tests appear to be those which measure rates of absorption and they appear best suited to studying patients in homogeneous groups rather than individually.
