Introduction: Injection of paraffin oil to augment muscles size is a troubling phenomenon known to cause a foreign body reaction with formation of granulomas. In a few case reports, long-term side effects have been reported in terms of hypercalcemia and renal failure.
Methods: We identified a case series of 12 male bodybuilders presenting with non-parathyroid hypercalcemia who previously had injected paraffin oil to increase muscles size.

- The gut-skeleton relationship is gaining attention in understanding overall physiology, with incretin hormones GIP and GLP-1 playing roles in regulating hormone secretion and glucose levels.
- Various GLP-1 receptor agonists are used for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, but GIP and GLP-1 may also influence bone metabolism.
- While pre-clinical studies indicate that GIP could inhibit bone resorption and GLP-1 might promote bone formation, clinical trials are necessary to determine if these effects occur in humans.
