Abstract:
Objectives:To investigate the effects of amylin on bone minernal density and structure parameters of bone tissue in glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis rats. Methods:Four groups of female Wistar rats (3 months old) were treated for 12 weeks as follows: ⅠNormal Control, ⅡDXM, Ⅲ DXM+AMY;Ⅳ DXM+Vitamin Da 3. By intramuscular injection of dexamethasone(XM)1mg/kg twice a week during the first 8 weeks, the animal model of Glucocorticoid induced osteopoprosis was established. After 12 weeks, BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and the femural bone were measured by DEXA. The bone morphology of the lumbar vertebrae was also determined. Results:①After the treatment with AMY, bone mineral density (BMD) was significantly increased at the lumbar spine and the femural bone. ( vs. DXM group, P
