The effects of bone resorption inhibitors on the growth plate and proximal tibial metaphysis of rats : Clinical implications
1998
This study investigated the effects of diphosphonates at scalar doses in a high bone turnover structure, namely, the proximal tibial metaphysis of rats. Arrest of bone modeling was represented by cylindrical-shaped metaphyses, increased height of the perichondrial bone bark, and persistence of primary metaphyseal trabeculae ; these changes were dose-related. Higher doses of the inhibitors produced extension of the growth plate and arrest of the mineralization process. The dose-related dissociation between the effects on bone resorption and mineralization allows the therapeutic use of this class of drugs.
