Calcium sensing receptor‐dependent and receptor‐independent activation of osteoblast replication and survival by strontium ranelate
28 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Age-related osteopenia is characterized by a negative balance between bone resorption and formation. The anti-osteoporotic drug strontium ranelate was found to reduce bone resorption and to promote bone formation. Here, we investigated the implication of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the response to strontium ranelate using osteoblasts from CaSR knockout [CaSR(-/-)] and wild-type [CaSR(+/+)] mice. We...
