Abstract We have previously shown that a subcutaneous injection of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) at 9 a.m. in fasting postmenopausal women results in a dose-dependent decrease in the serum concentration of fragments derived from the degradation of the C-terminal telopeptide region of collagen type I (s-CTX), a marker of bone resorption. In contrast, GLP-2 was found […]

Abstract UNLABELLED Collagen type I fragments, reflecting bone resorption, and release of gut hormones were investigated after a meal. Investigations led to a dose escalation study with glucagon like peptide-2 (GLP-2) in postmenopausal women. We found a dose-dependent effect of GLP-2 on the reduction of bone resorption. INTRODUCTION The C-terminal telopeptide region of type I […]
