Background: Osteoporosis is the most common skeletal disorder and is considered a risk of fracture. Most medication used for the treatment of osteoporosis is antiresorptive; however, strontium ranelate (Sr) therapy in postmenopausal women has shown a double effect on resorption and bone formation. In this study, the effect of Sr on status of the oxidative stress and antioxidant defence system was investigated.
