| Research Abstract |
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates are one of the most successful therapeutics for osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to elucidate the functional mechanism of nitrogencontaining bisphosphonates. This study indicates that the antiresorptive effect of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates is mainly mediated by the suppression of the bone-resorbing activity of osteoclasts and not by the induction of osteoclast apoptosis.
