Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Previous studies have shown that there is a large inter-individual variability in the degree of bone loss during glucocorticoid treatment, and while some patients experience extensive bone loss other patients\' bone mass remains stable. The aim of the study is to find a biomarker that can be used to identify individuals at risk of glucocorticoid-induced bone loss. The study will include 36 healthy volunteers, that will be randomized to receive either glucocorticoid treatment or placebo. During the study blood samples, bone marrow samples, bone tissue samples, and adipose tissue samples are taken and an oral glucose tolerance test is performed.
