PREPARATION OF A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR INCREASING BONE MINERAL DENSITY.

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART)-derived peptide for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for increasing bone mineral density by continuously providing elevated serum levels of the CART-derived peptide in a subject to be treated. Suitably, the elevated serum levels of the CART-derived peptide are continuously provided through slow release of the CART-derived peptide over an extended period of time from a slow release formulation.
