This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Teriparatide increases bone formation and bone mineral density in adult women with anorexia nervosa
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2014 Apr;99(4):1322-9. doi: 10.1210/jc.2013-4105. Epub 2014 Jan 2321 women with anorexia nervosa (according to DSM IV weight and psychiatric criteria), and a T-score of -2.5 or less, were randomized to self-administer a subcutaneous injection into the abdomen of either 20 ug teriparatide or placebo. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of teriparatide (TPT) on bone mineral density and markers of bone turnover. Results indicated that TPT significantly increased bone mineral density at the posteroanterior spine and lateral spine, when compared to placebo. Although TPT had a similar effect on CTX, IGF-1 and sclerostin when compared to placebo, levels of P1NP, a marker of bone formation, improved to a significantly greater degree in the TPT group.
