How can you use “anabolic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Collagen and CTX fragments will rearrange with age to three age-modified forms: the isomerised form ( L-isoaspartyl peptide [β L]), where the bond between the aspartic acid and glycine residue goes through the β-carboxyl group of the aspartyl residue; the racemised form ( D-aspartyl peptide [α D]), where the aspartic acid (D 1211) is on a D-enantiomeric form; and the isomerised and racemised form ( D-isoaspartyl peptide [β D]) [ 9 ] . The relative accumulation of the three age-modified forms is dependent on the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes in bone, and pathologic situations affecting these processes may thus also affect the relative amounts of the four CTX forms [ 9 10 11 ] .
Metastatic bone cancer will also affect the balance between the anabolic and catabolic processes at the local site of invasion.
We have recently reported the anabolic action of PTH in an ovariectomized (OVX) Swiss-Webster mouse model, which like the rat model, displays a substantial amount of trabecular bone in its femoral metaphyses and a quantifiable loss of bone following OVX [ 11 ] . The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of simvastatin on the microarchitecture of bone in an established mouse model of osteoporosis, and compare its anabolic action with PTH.
These data are in general agreement with studies in both rats and canines that calculate peak serum levels of SVS-OH at 40-60 minutes after gavage administration [ 18 ] . Thus, although we failed to document any bone anabolic activity of SVS in a mouse model of OVX-induced osteoporosis, LC/MS analysis of the SVS-OH metabolite in mouse serum document the efficacy of our gavage administration of SVS to experimental mice.
A NYT op-ed asks an interesting question: Why isn't Viagra--like anabolic steroids and tranquilizers, and other drugs that have a narrowly prescribed intended use--a controlled substance?
