Risedronate is used in osteoporosis treatment. Postmenopausal women enrolled in the Vertebral Efficacy with Risedronate Therapy trial received either risedronate (5 mg/day) or placebo for 3 years. Subjects received calcium and vitamin D supplementation if deficient at baseline. Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline and at 3 years. Quantitative back-scattered electron imaging (qBEI) was performed on paired iliac crest biopsies (risedronate, n = 18; placebo, n = 13) before and after treatment, and the mineral volume fraction in the trabecular bone was calculated. Combining dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric values with the mineral volume fraction for the same patients allowed us to calculate the relative change in trabecular bone volume with treatment. This showed that the effect on BMD was likely to be due partly to changes in matrix mineralization and partly due to changes in bone volume. After treatment, trabecular bone volume in the lumbar spine tended to increase in the risedronate group (+2.4%, nonsignificant) but there was a significant decrease (?3.7%, P < 0.05) in the placebo group. Calcium supplementation with adequate levels of vitamin D led to an ～3.3% increase in mineral content in the bone material independently of risedronate treatment. This increase was larger in patients with lower matrix mineralization at baseline and likely resulted from correction of calcium/vitamin D deficiency as well as from reduced bone remodeling. Combining BMD and bone mineralization density distribution data show that in postmenopausal osteoporosis 3-year treatment with risedronate preserves or may increase trabecular bone volume, unlike placebo. This analysis also allows, for the first time, separation of the contributions of bone volume and matrix mineralization to the increase in BMD.

Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) decreases trabecular bone volume and bone strength in rodents. The current study investigated the potential protective effects of aerobic endurance training (AET) on bone in STZ-induced T1DM young adult rats. Sixty-four 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 16: control non-T1DM sedentary (CS) and exercised (CX), T1DM sedentary (DS) and exercised (DX). Blood glucose was maintained at 9-15 mmol/L using subcutaneously implanted insulin pellets (Linplant, Linshin Canada, Inc.). AET was performed at similar to 75-85% VO2max for 1 h/day, 5 day/week for 10 weeks. Areal and volumetric bone mineral density (aBMD and vBMD; excised femur) were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA; QDR 4500A) and micro computed tomography (mu CT; Aloka). Bone strength was tested using a 3-point bending test (Instron 5544 Load Frame). Two-way ANOVA was used to test for T1DM and exercise differences followed by Tukey's HSD tests for interaction effects; significance was set at P < 0.05. T1DM had lower body weight (18.0%), aBMD (8.6%), cortical vBMD (1.6%), trabecular vBMD (2.1%), maximum load at break (22.2%), and increased elastic modulus (11.3%) vs. control (P < 0.001). Exercise in T1DM further decreased body weight (4.7%) vs. sedentary (P = 0.043) and maximum extension during the bending test that demonstrated DX was increased (7.3%) vs. CX (P = 0.033). There were no other beneficial effects of exercise on bone. These results suggest that 10 weeks of AET in rats do not have protective effects on bone in the short term and that T1DM rats have compromised bone health.

In the first part of this methodological study eleven metacarpi of 9 skeletally normal horses were examined from 4 directions by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The differences between the dorsopalmar-palmarodorsal and lateromedial-mediolateral (opposite sites) bone mineral density (BMD) values were found to be nonsignificant. In the second part of the study the precision of the Norland XR-26 densitometer was tested by measuring 34 metacarpal bones and 34 proximal phalanges, each of them three times, from a single direction. The difference between the individual measurements of the first phalanges and of the metacarpal bones originating from the right or the left side of the same horse were not significant, nor did the age or breed have a significant effect on BMD or bone mineral content (BMC). However, both BMD and BMC are greater in the metacarpal bones than in the proximal phalanges and are higher in geldings than in mares or to stallions, while the BMD or BMC values of mares and stallions did not differ from each other significantly. These data point to the necessity of further BMD studies in a higher number of patients.

The Summary Previous studies are suggestive of the protective role of uric acid on bone in the middle-aged and elderly. Whether this association exists in younger individuals has not been examined. This investigation showed a significant positive association between serum uric acid and bone parameters among Iranian adolescents.IntroductionUric acid (UA) might be linked to bone health, but it is unclear whether its effects on bone are limited to certain population subgroups. This study is aimed at investigating the correlation between serum uric acid levels and bone mineral density (BMD) in Iranian adolescents.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 413 (221 girls and 192 boys) Iranian adolescents aged 9-19 years. An analysis of anthropometric, biochemical parameters and bone density was performed on the participants. Measurements included serum uric acid, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and vitamin D. They were divided according to their serum UA into the low UA group who had UA 6 mg/dL. BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured in the total body, lumbar spine, and left femoral neck, using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) was calculated.ResultsA Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation between UA and bone parameters. In multiple regression analyses adjusted for potential confounders, serum UA was proven to be associated with BMD and BMC at all sites. There was no association between UA, serum calcium, and vitamin D concentrations.ConclusionOur study, as the first research on adolescents, demonstrated a higher bone density in those who had higher UA levels.

Teriparatide increases bone mass primarily through remodeling of older or damaged bone and abundant replacement with new mineralizing bone. This post hoc analysis investigated whether dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric (DXA) areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measurement adequately reflects changes of mineral and organic matrix content in cortical and trabecular bone. Paired biopsies and aBMD measurements were obtained before and at end of 2 years of teriparatide treatment from postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who were either alendronate pretreated (mean, 57.5 months) or osteoporosis-treatment naive. Biopsies were assessed by micro-computed tomography (mu CT) to calculate mean cortical width (Ct.Wi), cortical area (Ct.Ar), and trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV). Fourier transformed infrared imaging (pixel size similar to 6.3 x 6.3 mu m(2)) was utilized to calculate mineral and organic matrix density (mean absorption/pixel), as well as total mineral and organic contents of cortical and cancellous compartments (sum of all pixels in the compartment). Effect of pretreatment over time was analyzed using mixed model repeated measures. mu CT derived Ct.Wi and BV/TV increased, accompanied by similar increases in the overall mineral contents of their respective bone compartments. Mineral density did not change. Marked increases in the total content of both mineral and organic matrix associated with volumetric growth in both compartments consistently exceeded those of aBMD. Increases in organic matrix exceeded increases in mineral content in both cortical and trabecular compartments. For percent changes, only change in Ct.Wi correlated to change in femoral neck aBMD (r = .38, p = 0.043), whereas no other significant correlations of Ct.Wi or BV/TV with lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck aBMD were demonstrable. These data indicate that 2 years of teriparatide treatment leads to an increased bone organic matrix and mineral content in the iliac crest. The magnitude of these increases in the iliac crest were not detected with conventional aBMD measurements at other skeletal sites. (c) 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Investigated were morphological and densitometric parameters of the tihiotarsal bones in White Koluda Geese over post-natal period as influenced by sex, age and bone area using dual-energy Xray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. The study was performed on 100 bones of geese obtained from both sexes on 1, 14, 28, 42 and 56 day of life. Body weight, bone weight, bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), total bone mineral content (tBMC), cortical bone mineral density (CTR_DEN), cortical bone mineral content (CRT_CNT), trabecular bone mineral density (TRAB_DEN) and trabecular bone mineral content (TRAB_CNT) of tihiotarsal bone were determined.

The inhalation of a wide range of organic solvents has become popular among young adults. Toluene is one of the most commonly used solvents in industry; it is easily available and conventient to use. Many toxicologic effects on biological systems secondary to deliberate inhalation of toluene have been reported, but investigations on adverse effects associated with bone morbidity is limited. The purpose of this study is to determine bone mineralization and investigate the adverse effects of toluene on bone. The bone mineral density and content of the femoral neck of mice exposed to toluene at 300 ppm for 8 wk were measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry and found significantly reduced compared to the control group. Chronic exposure to toluene was found to affect bone metabolism, and toluene-induced changes could contribute to bone resorption and inhibition of bone formation. Toluene seems to be the responsible component for the demineralizating effects of commonly abused substances, and medical doctors must promote their education about the health hazards in those who abuse solvents especially in areas where inhalant abuse is endemic.

Background: Cross-sectional studies have associated serum testosterone with bone mineral density (BMD). However, there is a shortage of prospective longitudinal studies in this domain, leaving it unclear whether changes in testosterone level precede changes in BMD. Objectives: To examine the association between serum testosterone concentration at the age of 12 years and a subsequent increase in BMD by the age of 18 years. Methods: Eighty-eight boys with a mean age of 12.1 +/- 0.7 (time point 1 [T1]) and 18.0 +/- 0.7 (T2) were investigated. For both time points, serum testosterone was measured from venous blood samples. Total body (TB) and lumbar spine (LS) BMD and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) were measured. As different brands of DEXA machines were used at T1 and T2, we calculated SD scores (SDS) from samples at T1 and T2 and their change (Delta). As covariates, bone age at T1 and physical activity (PA) by accelerometer at T1 and T2 were measured. Results: Serum testosterone at T1 was positively correlated with TB BMD at T2 (r = 0.28; p < 0.01), Delta TB BMAD SDS (r = 0.47; p < 0.0001) and Delta LS BMAD SDS (r = 0.23; p < 0.05). When additionally controlling for bone age and total PA at T1, the correlation between testosterone at T1 and Delta TB BMAD SDS remained significant (r = 0.32; p < 0.05). Conclusions: Serum testosterone concentration at the age of 12 years is associated with a subsequent increase in TB BMAD by the age of 18 years. This supports the inference that testosterone levels in early puberty may influence subsequent bone mineral accrual.
