a Porosity area/cortical area (Po Ar/Ct Ar) and b bone formation rate (BFR/BS) in the tibial cortical bone measured by bone histomorphometry. There was no significant difference in Po Ar/Ct Ar between the teriparatide (TPTD) and non-TPTD groups at any time point (P = 0.857, 0.486, and 0.0571 at 4, 12, and 24 weeks, respectively). BFR/BS was significantly higher in the TPTD group than in the non-TPTD group at all timepoints (P < 0.05 at all weeks). In particular, at 4 weeks, BFR/BS was markedly higher in the TPTD group than in the non-TPTD group. *: P < 0.05
