Percutaneous oestradiol replacement therapy prevents menopausal bone loss and is associated with a sustained and significant increase in total body calcium, spinal trabecular bone mineral density and radial bone mineral content over a 3-year treatment period. Oestradiol implants thus have skeletal effects comparable to those of oral or transdermal oestrogens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
