Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
University of Copenhagen
Brief Summary

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a naturally occuring hormone secreted to the circulation in response to food ingestion. Previous studies have shown that GLP-2 and incretins inhibit the bone resorption. However, the mechanism is unknown. In the present study we will investigate the mechanism of action using a receptor specific inhibitor.
