Abstract

Objective   To explore the effect of ovariectomy combined with glucocorticoid on rabbits bone metabolism and develop a new method for inducing osteoporosis in rabbits.   Method   18 New Zealand female rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: Sham-operated group (SHAM, Physiological saline 5 ml·kg-1·d-1);  ovariectomy group (OVX, Physiological saline 5 ml·kg-1·d-1); ovariectomy combined with glucocorticoid group (OVX +GC, Dexamethasone 1 mg·kg-1·d-1). The femoral bone mineral density (BMD) of the rabbit lumbar (3~6) and the right femoral were assessed at  0, 3 and 6-week, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the right femur biomechanics and the third lumbar vertebra bone tissue morphology metrology were determined.   Result  Compared with Sham-operated group, the BMD, the bone biomechanics (maximum load, fracture load) , the trabecular bone area percentage, the bone trabecular thickness and the bone trabecular number in the ovariectomy combined with glucocorticoid group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the bone separating degree were significantly increased(P<0.05), while the ovariectomy group was not significantly different.  Conclusion   The method of ovariectomy combined with glucocorticoid is better at induction of osteoporosis in rabbits than ovariectomy alone and it is a feasible approach.
