Relationship between oxidative stress and diabetic osteopenia in premenopausal rats

Abstract

The relationship between lipid peroxidation, antioxidant defense and diabetic osteopenia remains unclear. This study evaluated the relationship among lipid peroxidation index, antioxidant defense parameters and bone metabolism in a premenopausal diabetic model using measures including thiobarbituric acidreactive substances concentration (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) content in brain homogenates, histomorphometric analysis, biomechanical testing and bone mineral density (BMD). Female Wistar rats with regular estrous cycle were divided into two groups: Group 1: control rats (n = 15) and Group 2: diabetic rats (n = 15). Diabetes was induced by alloxan and confirmed by glycemia ≥250 mg/dL. The lipid peroxidation index, measured by TBARS concentration, showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in diabetic animals in comparison to control animals. However, the antioxidant parameter measured by GSH content, was significantly lower (p<0.05) in diabetic animals. Histomorphometric analysis showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in femoral trabecular separation together with a significant decrease (p<0.05) in trabecular thickness, and reduced trabecular bone volume in diabetic rats. Moreover, biomechanical testing and BMD values were significantly lower (p<0.05) in the diabetic group. Thus, our results demonstrated that increased lipid peroxidation and altered antioxidant defense could be related to the development of oxidative stress and diabetic osteopenia in premenopausal rats.Uniterms: Oxidative stress. Lipid peroxidation. Diabetes mellitus. Diabetic osteopenia/experimental study.A relação entre peroxidação lipídica, defesa antioxidante e osteopenia diabética permanece obscura. Este estudo avaliou a associação entre índice de peroxidação lipídica, parâmetro de defesa antioxidante e metabolismo ósseo em um modelo diabético pré-menopausa através de medidas como a concentração de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (SRAT) e conteúdo de glutationa reduzida (GSH) no homogenato cerebral, análises histomorfométricas, teste biomecânico e densidade mineral óssea (DMO). Ratos Wistar fêmeas com ciclo estral regular foram distribuídos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 -ratas controle (n = 15) e Grupo 2 -ratas diabéticas (n = 15). O diabetes foi induzido pela aloxana e confirmado pela glicemia ≥250 mg/dL. O índice de peroxidação lipídica, medido pela concentração de SRAT, demonstrou um aumento significativo (p<0.05) nos animais diabéticos, em relação aos animais controle. Entretanto, o parâmetro de defesa antioxidante, mensurado pelo conteúdo de GSH, foi reduzido significativamente (p<0.05) nos animais diabéticos. As análises histomorfométricas mostraram um aumento significativo (p<0.05) da separação trabecular do fêmur, associado à diminuição significativa da espessura trabecular (p<0.05) e volume ósseo trabecular reduzido nas ratas diabéticas.

Anabolic Effect of Insulin Therapy on the Bone: Osteoprotegerin and Osteocalcin Up‐Regulation in Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Rats

“…In contrast, the bone loss observed in the T1DM group, which did not receive insulin therapy, supports the anabolic effect of this hormone. In addition, a positive correlation between hyperglycaemia and TbSp and an inverse correlation between hyperglycaemia and BAr were observed in the T1DM group, reinforcing the previous results on the deleterious effects of high blood glucose on the bone tissue [10,14,[27][28][29].…”

Deletion of Rptor in Preosteoblasts Reveals a Role for the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) Complex in Dietary‐Induced Changes to Bone Mass and Glucose Homeostasis in Female Mice

“…In contrast, for Rptorob -/mice, HFD feeding resulted in significantly higher trabecular and cortical bone thickness (while trabecular number showed a trend toward reduction) in the proximal tibia compared to the CD-fed mice. A previous study reported a correlation between trabecular thickness and systemic glycemic levels (61) . Therefore, it is possible that some of the bone phenotypes, observed in the HFD-fed Rptorob -/mice, are due, in part, to the protective metabolic phenotypes of deleting Rptor in bone (i.e.…”
