Inhibition of peripheral serotonin synthesis by LP533401 and disturbances in calciotropic hormones attenuated excessive osteoblastogenesis with simultaneous improvement of bone mineral status in 5/6 nephrectomized rats

In conclusion, the inhibition of GDS synthesis resulted in the mitigation of osteoblastogenesis observed in CKD, which translated into improvement of bone mineral status. This study provides key mechanistic insights into how modification of GDS-dependent molecular pathway affects bone mineral status in CKD and lays the groundwork for translating the role of functional serotonin signaling in the origin of impaired bone mineral status in patients with CKD.
