Objective To investigate the effect of 17β-estradiol on insulin resistance and the expression of insulin receptor-α in skeletal muscle of ovariectomized rats with insulin resistance induced by high fructose.Methods Forty-eight mature female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: the normal control group (NC, n= 12) rats were fed with the normal diet for 8 weeks; the model group (M, n= 12)rats were ovariectomized and fed with the high fructose diet for 8 weeks, meanwhile the physiological-dose of 17βestradiol (30 μg · kg-1 · d-1 ) was injected subcutaneously every day; the vehicle control group (VC, n= 12) rats were ovariectomized and fed with the high fructose diet for eight weeks, meanwhile equivalent alcohol was injected subcutaneously every day. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and fasting serum insulin (FSI) were measured and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. The expressions of mRNA and protein of insulin receptor-α in quadriceps femoris were measured by RT-PCR and Western-blot. Results Compared with the normal control group, SBP (P<0.05), FBS (P<0.05) and FSI (P<0.01) were increased significantly while ISI was decreased significantly (P < 0. 05) in the model group. The expressions of mRNA and protein of insulin receptor-α and phosphorylated Akt were decreased significantly in quadriceps femoris in the model group (P<0.05), compared with the normal control group. However, these effects were reversed by 17β-estradiol in the 17βestradiol replacement group. Conclusions 17β-Estradiol inhibits insulin resistance, and up-regulates the expression of insulin receptor-α and the level of phosphorylated Akt in ovariectomized rats with insulin resistance induced by high fructose diet.

BACKGROUND: A new material of porous carbonated hydroxyapatite cement (PCHC) is discovered using foaming technique.The new material characterizes original solidification and forms porous structure.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biomechanical effect of PCHC on repairing cancellous bone defect.METHODS: Among 30 New Land rabbits, 25 ones were considered as surgery group, whose bilateral condyles of femur was used to establish bone defect model (5.5 mm diameter and 12 mm depth). PCHC was implanted into the left side, which was considered as the experimental group, and carbonated hydroxyapatite cement (CHC) was implanted into the right side, which was considered as the control group. Another 5 rabbits were used as normal mechanical control group. Both PCHC and CHC were dip in simulated body fluid (SBF) to test mechanical intension. PCHC and CHC were then implanted into muscles of back in the surgery group. Rabbits Were-sacrificed after 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks postoperatively. Mechanical analysis was tested following intra-bone and intramuscular implantation, and compressive strength was then tested following dipping into SBF.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: PCHC: Intra-bone mechanical strength was lower at 2 weeks, the lowest at 4 weeks, but then closed to intension of normal cancellated bone at 8 weeks, higher than normal cancellated bone at 12 weeks, and recovered to the level of normal cancellated bone at 16 weeks. CHC: Intra-bone strength was higher than that of PCHC at 2 weeks, decreased at 4 weeks, gradually increased at 8, 12, and 16 weeks, but still lower than intension of normal cancallated bone. Compressive strength of both PCHC and CHC was not changed following dipping in SBF; however, compressive strength was changed remarkably following intramuscular implantation. The results demonstrated that PCHC characterized by immobilization in situ and mechanical supporting. Thus it could be used for one kind of bone substitute material to repair the bone defect.
