    Abstract:
    The intermittent injection of teriparatide, a recombinant fragment of human parathyroid hormone (PTH 1-34), activates anabolic activity on bone turnover. However, the PTH administration period is limited to 2 years. Thus, sequential therapy after discontinuation of PTH is required. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been widely used for bone fracture healing. In this study, we examined the effects of LIPUS on bone mass after PTH withdrawal in ovariectomized (OVX) model mice. The LIPUS-non-irradiated femoral trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) in the treated after PTH withdrawal was significantly decreased. Meanwhile, the femoral BMD in the OVX + PTH-LIPUS group was remarkably higher than that of the OVX group. Additionally, mRNA expression of Runx2, Osterix, Col1a1, and ALP increased significantly following LIPUS irradiation after PTH withdrawal. These results suggest that LIPUS protected against femoral trabecular BMD loss and up-regulated the osteogenic factors following PTH withdrawal in OVX mice.
