Ulnar and tibial cyclic compression in rats and mice have become the preferred animal models for investigating the effects of mechanical loading on bone modeling/remodeling. Unlike rodents, rabbits provide a larger bone volume and normally exhibit intracortical Haversian remodeling, which may be advantageous for investigating mechanobiology and pharmaceutical interventions in cortical bone. Therefore,...
The bisphosphonates (BPs) have been useful tools in our understanding of the role that bone remodeling plays in skeletal health. The purpose of this paper is to outline what we know, and what is still unknown, about the role that BPs play in modulating bone turnover, how this affects microdamage accumulation, and ultimately what the effects of these changes elicited by BPs are to the structural and...
One year of treatment with bisphosphonates at 5× the dose used for post-menopausal osteoporosis significantly increases failure load and microdamage, and decreases toughness at multiple skeletal sites in intact female beagles. The goal of this study was to determine if similar changes occur with doses equivalent to those used for post-menopausal osteoporosis treatment. Skeletally-mature female beagles...
