According to a study from Turkey, "the aim of this study was to compare vertebral bone mass values of patients with central precocious puberty (CPP) with healthy age and puberty matched controls and to determine the effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs on bone mass in patients who had been treated at least for 1 year.

Leuprolide acetate (Lucrin(R)) 3.75 mg was administered s.c. monthly. Bone measurements were performed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) (Norland) at the anterior-posterior vertebrae (L2-L4)," wrote O. Unal and colleagues, Ankara University.
