The effect of two locally administered anti-resorptive agents on bone regeneration in a rat fibula model: Alendronate and 15-deoxy-Δ

Bisphosphonates are well-known drugs as inhibitors of bone resorption acting on inducing programmed cell death of osteoclasts. However, many in vitro studies report that optimal concentration of the bisphosphonate affects not only osteoclasts but also osteoblasts, that is, it induces the anabolic effects of osteoblasts. Recently reported 15-deoxy-Δ
