FAQ
- What is teriparatide and how does intermittent vs continuous exposure affect bone metabolism in research models?
- Teriparatide is recombinant PTH(1-34) that binds the PTH1 receptor. Research shows continuous exposure favors bone resorption, while intermittent once-daily exposure shifts the metabolic balance toward new bone formation.
- Is teriparatide prohibited under the WADA Prohibited List?
- Yes. As a peptide hormone it is classified under the S2 class (peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances and mimetics). A Therapeutic Use Exemption may apply where documented medical need exists. Confirm against the current annual list.
- How is reconstitution concentration calculated when preparing a teriparatide research solution?
- Divide the total peptide mass in the vial by the volume of bacteriostatic water added. Example: 10 mg dissolved in 2 mL yields 5 mg/mL. Less solvent increases concentration; more solvent dilutes it. Total peptide mass remains constant.
