Abstract
Effects of alendronate (ALN) on bone quality and turnover were assessed in 88 patients (52 women and 36 men aged 22-75 years) who received long-term oral glucocorticoid exposure. Patients were randomized to receive oral placebo or alendronate 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/day for 1 year and stratified according to the duration of their prior glucocorticoid treatment.
