Abstract:
AIM: To observe the changes of different parts of bones in rats 90 days after ovariectomized (OVX). METHODS: Twenty 4.5 month old virgin female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: sham group and OVX group. Rats in sham group were sham operated, while rats in OVX group were bilaterally OVX. Rats in two groups were treated with 5 ml?kg -1 ?d -1 ethanol for 90 days. Parameters of the proximal tibial metaphysis (PTM), tibial shaft (Tx) and the fifth lumbar vertebral body (LVB) were analyzed by bone histomorphometry method. RESULTS: %Tb.Ar and Tb.N were decreased by 80.5 % and 76.1 %, Tb.Sp and Oc.N were increased by 468.0 % and 356.6 %, and MAR and BFR/BV were increased by 43.9 % and 95.9 %, respectively, in PTM. The changes in LVB were not remarkable as those in PTM. %Tb.Ar and Tb.Th were decreased by 35.0 % and 31.0 %, while Oc.N and BFR/BV were increased by 106.9 % and 126.8 %, respectively. The cortical bone and marrow areas of tibial shaft did not change in Tx, but bone formation parameters (%P LPm, %E LPm) were increased. CONCLUSION: After OVX for 90 days, high bone turnover osteopenia model is duplicated successfully in rats. Different parts of the bones have different reaction to ovariectomization in rats.
