Sažetak
We have discovered that human recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP- 6), given systematically, can completely restore lost bone in aged ovariectomized rats. To determine whether discontinuation of BMP-6 therapy results in rapid bone loss we performed the following set of experiments. Bone restored in ovariectomized BMP-6 treated rats was not lost after discontinuation of the BMP-6 therapy.
