We did not observe any statistically significant difference in BMD. OPG had a lower concentration in the CG compared to the AG. TBS correlated negatively with OPG in the AG (r = \u22120.31, p = 0.01) and in the TCA+ CA group (r = \u22120.3, p = 0.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The acromegalic patients have altered bone microstructure as indicated by the decreased TBS regardless of the activity of the disease and BMD.
