Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) and estrogen positively influence osteoporotic bone. Both substances may improve fracture healing in early osteoporosis as well. In 48 twelve-week-old ovariectomized or, respectively, sham-operated (SHAM) rats, a standardized metaphyseal tibia osteotomy with bridging T-plate fixation was performed. During the healing process of 35 days, rats received soy-free (SHAM, osteopenic C), estrogen-(E) or Cimicifuga racemosa-(CR) supplemented diets. After sacrifice, the callus formation was analyzed with regard to biomechanical quality, morphology, quantity, time course of new bone built and gene expression. CR induced a high rate of metaphyseal callus formation. The biomechanical properties and the amount of new callus formation indicated that fracture healing was still in progress. Therefore, gene expression of osteoblasts was comparatively high. Body weight and the trabecular structure were influenced little by CR. Estrogen improved the biomechanical properties of the callus. Resistance to microfracturing was significantly enhanced in the E group and even superior to SHAM. Remodeling of the callus formation had already begun. The trabecular network and the typical endosteal fracture healing were especially improved. Osteoporotic metaphyseal fracture healing was improved by estrogen more than by Cimicifuga racemosa. The process of fracture healing occurred nearly physiologically. The generation of callus formation was supported by Cimicifuga racemosa as well, but the five-week duration of application was too short for Cimicifuga racemosa to show its complete potential. Already-initiated Cimicifuga racemosa therapy for menopausal symptoms could be continued during fracture healing without hesitation."],["dc.description.sponsorship","DFG [STU 478/2-1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1055/s-0029-1240798"],["dc.identifier.isi","000279668400002"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20104444"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19846"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Georg Thieme Verlag Kg"],["dc.relation.issn","0032-0943"],["dc.title","Effects of Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) and Estrogen on Metaphyseal Fracture Healing in the Early Stage of Osteoporosis in Ovariectomized Rats"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Special attention has been devoted to the hormonal effects of various isoflavonoids, like genistein (GEN) and daidzein's (DAID) potent metabolite, equol (EQ). Here we aimed to investigate the short-term effects of genistein and equol on the proximal femur of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Forty-eight, 3-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovarectomized; after eight weeks the bilateral osteotomy and osteosynthesis (OS) of their tibiae was performed and the rats were randomly divided into the following four groups: OVX control group (C), treated with estradiol-17beta (E2) -benzoate (E; daily intake 0.086 mg/d per animal), genistein (GEN; daily intake 12.7 mg/d per animal) and equol (EQ; daily intake 4.65 mg/d per animal). At 5 weeks postoperatively (OS), the breaking test was performed on the trochanteric region of femur. Additionally, histomorphometric assessment, and trabecular and cortical bone microstructure analyses were performed. The relative gain of body weight (BW) in the EQ (24%) group was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than in the C (33%) and GEN (30%) groups. After treatment for 5 weeks, the maximal load (F(max)) and yield load (yL) were higher (p < 0.05 for the weight-adapted results) in the E (188.4 N resp. 113.1 N) and EQ (177.3 N resp. 112 N) groups as compared to C (162.8 N resp. 109.1 N) and GEN (165.7 N resp. 108.8 N). In the histomorphometric tests the E-(trabecular area (Tb.Ar) = 74.93%, trabecular nodes/mm(2) (N.Nd/mm(2)) = 48.65) and EQ-treated (Tb.Ar = 63.13%, N.Nd/mm(2) = 43.72) animals showed significant improvement with regard to Tb.Ar and trabecular connectivity (N.Nd./mm(2)) in comparison to C (Tb.Ar = 46.84, N.Nd/mm(2) = 31.86) and GEN (Tb.Ar = 48.22%, N.Nd/mm(2) = 34.15). There were no differences in relative cortical width (Ct.Wi) among the four groups. The treatment with EQ resulted in improved biomechanical and histomorphometric properties as compared to the treatment with GEN. Thus, of the studied substances, EQ seems to be a possible alternative to hormone replacement therapy, but further studies are needed."],["dc.description.sponsorship","DFG [STU 478/2-1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1055/s-0029-1186136"],["dc.identifier.isi","000274392700005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19764010"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/20732"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Georg Thieme Verlag Kg"],["dc.relation.issn","0032-0943"],["dc.title","Changes in the Histomorphometric and Biomechanical Properties of the Proximal Femur of Ovariectomized Rat after Treatment with the Phytoestrogens Genistein and Equol"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Improvements in imaging technology have led to the increased use Of computed tomography (CT). For example. micro-CT and quantitative CT (QCT) are now often used in osteoporosis research. in which micro-CT is able to analyze small bones or bone samples with high spatial resolution. In contrast, QCT is able to investigate large samples with low spatial resolution. The aim of this Study was to test the usefulness of flat-panel volumetric CT (fpVCT) in a rat model of osteopenia. Material and Methods. Twenty-two 3-month-old rats underwent ovariectomy and were either left untreated or supplemented with estradiol for 15 weeks. After sacrificing, the rats' second lumbar vertebral body bone mineral density (BMD) was analyzed using fpVCT and ashing. The results were compared to those of a microstructural analysis of the first lumbar vertebrae and a biomechanical evaluation of the fourth lumbar vertebrae. Results. BMD measurements using both fpVCT (0.39 vs 0.35 mg/cm(3)) and ashing (0.52 vs 0.48 mg/cm(3)) demonstrated a significant improvement after estradiol supplementation. The correlation coefficient of the two methods was 0.858. After estradiol supplementation, the bone microstructural and bone biomechanical parameters were improved, compared to no treatment. The correlations of both the microstructural and the biomechanical evaluations were closer for BNID measured using fpVCT (r = 0.482-0.769) than on the basis of ashing (r = 0.345-0.573). FpVCT was not able to display the trabecular microstructure of the rat lumbar vertebrae. Conclusion. The use of fpVCT demonstrated a close relationship between morphologic and biomechanical evaluations in a rat model of osteopenia. Because of its different proportions. fpVCT might be able to bridge the gap between micro-CT and QCT in analyzing larger animals."],["dc.description.sponsorship","German Research Society (DFG) [STU 478]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.acra.2008.09.017"],["dc.identifier.isi","000264412100002"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19268850"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/16981"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Elsevier Science Inc"],["dc.relation.issn","1076-6332"],["dc.title","The Use of Flat Panel Volumetric Computed Tomography (fpVCT) in Osteoporosis Research"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This study is an experimental study in the rat osteopenia model. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of daily application of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone quality and quantity using a new biomechanical compression test for intact rat lumbar vertebrae. Summary of Background Data. Because of their high clinical relevance, trabecular content and thick cortical shell vertebrae are of high interest for osteoporosis research. Biomechanical stability depends on both trabecular and cortical bone. Anabolic effects on bone after long-term application of PTH have already been proven. Methods. After an intraindividual comparison (n = 20), the capability of a new test to identify biomechanical properties of the mature rat model was assessed. In the following, 33 three-month-old rats were ovariectomized. After 10 weeks, the animals were divided into 3 groups. The control group (C) received no additional food supplementation. The other groups received hormone treatment with either estradiol (E) or PTH for another 5 weeks. The effects on bone biomechanical properties and bone microstructure were analyzed. Results. After establishing the new biomechanical test for intact rat lumbar vertebrae, PTH-treated (yield stress: 2.95 N/mm(3), elastic limit: 2.39 N/mm(3)) and then E-treated (yield stress: 2.13 N/mm(3), elastic limit: 1.68 N/mm(3)) animals showed superior biomechanical results. Compression strength was significantly improved in these rats in comparison to the control group rats (yield stress: 1.86 N/mm(3), elastic limit: 1.38 N/mm(3)). In the microradiographic evaluation, PTH significantly improved the morphologic results to produce thicker trabeculae. E led to a more densely branched trabecular network, which was not as important as trabecular thickness for bone stability. Conclusion. After a short-term application, PTH is superior to E in recreating bone biomechanical properties and lumbar vertebral microstructure in advanced osteoporosis. The cortical shell and trabecular thickness are primarily responsible for the biomechanical strength of vertebrae."],["dc.description.sponsorship","AO Foundation [05-S100]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1097/BRS.0b013e3181afe846"],["dc.identifier.isi","000269489800003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19730209"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/56637"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Lippincott Williams & Wilkins"],["dc.relation.issn","0362-2436"],["dc.title","Short-Term Effects of Parathyroid Hormone on Rat Lumbar Vertebrae"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Hormone replacement therapy could improve fracture healing, but, because of its potential side effects, natural alternatives are more appealing. The aim of this study was to determine if the soy metabolite equol and the native isoflavone genistein, in comparison to 17 beta-estradiol, improve metaphyseal fracture healing in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic bone of the rat. Forty-eight 12-week-old female rats developed severe osteoporosis ten weeks after ovariectomy. After metaphyseal tibial osteotomy and standardized stable internal fixation, changes in callus morphology were evaluated biomechanically, qualitatively and quantitatively in fluorochrome-labeled histological sections and microradiographs in ovariectomized rats (C) and under standardized 17 beta-estradiol (E), equol (EQ) and genistein (G) supplemented rats over a period of five weeks. Estrogen and equol were able to improve the elasticity of callus formation significantly in postmenopausal osteoporotic bone (stiffness of C: 121.40 +/- 47.08 N/mm, E: 147.90 +/- 39.38 N/mm, EQ: 167.8 +/- 59.90 N/mm). The effects of estrogen were more anabolic than those of equol and were visible in changes to the trabecular bone (N.Nd of E: 6.47 +/- 7.68, EQ: 4.25 +/- 3.96). However, in terms of the whole body, equol seemed to induce less of an adverse reaction than estrogen (body weight of C: 342.20 +/- 19.91 g, E: 280.25 +/- 12.05 g, EQ: 308.75 +/- 24.28 g). Genistein as an osteoclast inhibitor influenced callus stiffness (G: 144.50 +/- 61.52 N/mm) and negatively impacted trabecular structure (N.Nd of G: 0.59 +/- 1.01) in severely osteoporotic bones. Estrogen and equol were able to improve fracture healing in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic bones, and the extent of callus formation played only a minor role.
