- Title
Effect of Nitroglycerin Ointment on Bone Density and Strength in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Trial.
- Authors
Jamal, Sophie A.; Hamilton, Celeste J.; Eastell, Richard; Cummings, Steven R.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial which determined if nitroglycerin increases lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and evaluated changes in hip BMD, bone geometry and density at the radius and tibia and markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women. The main outcome measures of the study are cited, including areal BMD at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip, indices of bone geometry and strength at the distal radius and tibia. Results indicated that nitroglycerin ointment modestly increased BMD and decreased bone resorption among postmenopausal women.
