Abstract
Sclerostin is an inhibitor of the osteogenic Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway that also has an endocrine role in regulating adipocyte differentiation and metabolism. Additionally, subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) sclerostin content decreases following exercise training (EXT). Therefore, we hypothesized that EXT-induced reductions in adipose tissue sclerostin may play a role in regulating adaptations in body composition and whole-body metabolism. To test this hypothesis, 10-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were either sedentary (SED) or performing 1 hour of treadmill running at ~65% to 70% maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max ) 5 day/week (EXT) for 4 weeks and had subcutaneous injections of either saline (C) or recombinant sclerostin (S) (0.1 mg/kg body mass) 5 day/week; thus, making four groups (SED-C, EXT-C, SED-S, and EXT-S; n = 12/group). No differences in body mass were observed between experimental groups, whereas food intake was higher in EXT (p = 0.03) and S (p = 0.08) groups. There was a higher resting energy expenditure in all groups compared to SED-C. EXT-C had increased lean mass and decreased fat mass percentage compared to SED-C and SED-S. No differences in body composition were observed in either the SED-S or EXT-S groups. Lower scWAT (inguinal), epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) (visceral epididymal) mass, and scWAT adipocyte cell size and increased percentage of multilocular cells in scWAT were observed in the EXT-C group compared to SED-C, whereas lower eWAT was only observed in the EXT-S group. EXT mice had increased scWAT low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (Lrp4) and mitochondrial content and sclerostin treatment only inhibited increased Lrp4 content with EXT. Together, these results provide evidence that reductions in resting sclerostin with exercise training may influence associated alterations in energy metabolism and body composition, particularly in scWAT. © 2023 The Authors.

[PMID: 34693194 PMCID: PMC8526782 DOI: 10.1093/cdn/nzab114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Several studies have shown that diets containing lower vitamin D than in the AIN-93G diet do not compromise bone structure, bone mineral density (BMD), and/or bone strength in male and female mice. This study determined if a diet containing low vitamin D from prepregnancy through to the end of lactation maintained these bone outcomes to a similar extent as a high vitamin D diet. Mice were fed an AIN-93G diet with 25 (LD diet) or 5000 (HD diet) IU vitamin D/kg diet from premating through to lactation (n = 15/group). Of the major structure outcomes, only cortical area fraction of the distal femur was lower (P <0.05) with the LD diet. Lumbar vertebra BMD was lower (P <0.05) with LD whereas distal femur BMD and bone strength at 3 sites did not differ. Dams fed an LD diet premating through to the end of lactation had largely similar bone outcomes to dams fed a HD diet.

Abstract
Fluoride (F) is an essential trace element, but chronic exposure beyond the permissible limit (1.5 ppm) effectuates dental and skeletal fluorosis. Although 200 million people across the world are suffering from toxic manifestations of F, till now proper treatment is not available. In this study, we assessed the effectiveness of calcium and vitamin D supplementation for alleviation of fluorosis. Swiss albino mice were divided into 6 groups; group I-control group (received drinking water ˂ 0.5 ppm F; within the permissible limit), group II-treated with 15 ppm of sodium fluoride (NaF) for 4 months, group III-treated with 15 ppm of NaF for 8 months through drinking water. Group IV-orally treated with 15 ppm NaF for 4 months, thereafter received only drinking water for next 4 months, group V-orally treated with 15 ppm NaF for 4 months, thereafter received drinking water supplemented with calcium and vitamin D (2.5-g calcium kg-1 diet and 1000 IU vitamin D kg-1 diet) for next 4 months, and group VI was treated with 15 ppm of NaF through drinking water as well as supplemented with calcium and vitamin D for 4 months. NaF treatment caused dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and alteration of bone's metal profile. Substitution of NaF-containing water with normal drinking water reduced the severity of fluorosis but supplementation of calcium and vitamin D effectively alleviated dental and skeletal fluorosis, reduced F deposition, and retained elemental homeostasis of the bone. Our findings strongly support that calcium and vitamin D act as redeemer of fluorosis. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Adequate dietary calcium (Ca) intake is essential for bone accretion, peak bone mass (PBM) attainment, bone quality and strength during the mammalian growth period. Severe Ca deficiency during growing age results in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and poor bone quality and strength. However, the impact of moderate Ca deficiency during rats early growth period on bone health and the reversibility with supplementing calcium later in adult life remains unclear. Female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (postnatal 28th day, P28) were initiated either with a moderate calcium-deficient diet (MCD, 0.25% w/w Ca) or a control diet (0.8% w/w Ca, control group) till P70. Thereafter, MCD rats were continued either with MCD diet or supplemented with calcium diet (0.8% w/w Ca, calcium supplemented group, CaS) till P150. Another group (control rats) were fed 0.8% w/w Ca containing diet from P28 till P150. MCD group, as compared to the control group, had significantly reduced serum ionized Ca and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) at P70 while no significant change was observed in serum corrected Ca, inorganic phosphate (P), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D], intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and urinary C-terminal telopeptide of collagen 1 (CTX-1), Ca, and P. Femoral and tibial metaphysis in MCD rats had significantly reduced linear growth, cortical and trabecular volumetric BMD (vBMD), trabecular microarchitecture (BV/TV%, trabecular thickness, separation and number, structural model index and connectivity density), cortical thickness, and bone stiffness despite the absence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Continued MCD at P70–P150 results in persistence of compromised bone strength while calcium supplementation (CaS group) improved all the parameters related to bone strength and microarchitecture. Our results indicate that uncorrected moderate/subclinical calcium deficiency in growing rats can result in poor bone quality and strength despite the absence of SHPT. This finding could have relevance in children with poor calcium intake in childhood and adolescence. Moderate Ca intake impairs bone growth and stiffness in critical growth phase via subclinical Ca deficiency. Ca supplementaion reverses the effects subclinical Ca deficiency on bone health. Conclusively, moderate Ca intake imposes different effects on the bone at different phases of life.

Abstract
Chronic low-grade inflammation has been identified as an underlying cause of many diseases including osteoporosis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent inducer of the inflammatory response that can negatively affect bone outcomes by upregulating bone resorption and inhibiting bone formation. The objective of this study was to assess the longitudinal response of trabecular and cortical bone structure and bone mineral density to LPS continuously administered for 12 weeks in male and female CD-1 mice. Mice were assigned to one of four LPS groups at 8-weeks of age: placebo (0.0 μg/d), low (0.9 μg/d), mid (3.6 μg/d) and high (14.4 μg/d) dose. Trabecular and cortical bone outcomes were measured at 8, 12, 16, and 20 weeks of age using in vivo micro-computed tomography. The anticipated serum LPS dose-dependent response was not observed. Therefore, the low, mid, and high LPS groups were combined for analysis. Compared to the placebo group, endpoint serum LPS was elevated in both males (p < 0.05) and females (p < 0.05) when all LPS treatment groups were combined. However, there was no significant change in trabecular or cortical bone outcomes in the combined LPS groups compared to the placebo following the 12-week LPS intervention for either sex. This suggests that although serum LPS was elevated following the 12-week LPS intervention, the dosages administered using the osmotic pumps was not sufficient to negatively impact trabecular or cortical bone outcomes in either male or female CD-1 mice.

Abstract
While repeated in vivo micro-computed tomography (μCT) allows for longitudinal measurement of bone outcomes in rodent models, it is important to determine that the resulting irradiation – dependent on the frequency and number of scans - does not exceed the effects of the intervention. The objective of this study was to determine whether repeated irradiation exposure from μCT scans at 1-month intervals for a total of four scans would alter trabecular or cortical bone structure outcomes and/or bone mineral density in tibias from both male and female CD-1 mice. The right tibia of male (n = 12) and female (n = 11) CD-1 mice were scanned using μCT at 2, 3, 4, and 5 months of age, while the contralateral left tibia served as a control and was scanned only at 5 months of age. All scans were performed at a resolution of 9 μm using a radiation dose of 460 mGy per scan. Some outcomes of trabecular bone structure were affected by repeated irradiation in both males and females. The bone volume fraction was lower in the irradiated right tibia compared to the non-irradiated left tibia in both males (p < 0.05) and females (p < 0.01) as a result of decreased trabecular number (males p < 0.05; females p < 0.05) and increased trabecular separation (males p < 0.05; females p < 0.01). Some cortical measures were also affected in females but not in males, including lower cortical bone periosteal perimeter (p < 0.05), lower total area (p < 0.01) and lower marrow area (p < 0.05) with repeated irradiation. Exposure to repeated radiation at intervals of 1 month, for a total of four scans, altered trabecular bone in both male and female CD-1 mice while outcomes of cortical bone structure were altered only in females. Repeated irradiation from in vivoμCT - 4 scans at 1-month intervals - alters trabecular bone in both sexes Cortical bone is also altered, but to a lesser degree than trabecular bone and only in females Different types of bone are affected in a sex-specific response

Abstract
To clarify the antioxidant, anti-glycation and immunomodulatory capacities of fermented blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), hot aqueous extract suspensions made from 10% AFA were fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum AN7 and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis Kushiro-L2 strains isolated from a coastal region of Japan. The DPPH and O2- radical scavenging capacities and Fe-reducing power were increased in the fermented AFA. The increased DPPH radical scavenging capacity of the fermented AFA was fractionated to mainly < 3 kDa and 30-100 kDa. The increased O2- radical scavenging capacities were fractionated to mainly < 3 kDa. Anti-glycation activity in BSA-fructose model rather than BSA-methylglyoxal model was increased by the fermentation. The increased anti-glycation activity was fractionated to mainly 30-100 kDa. The NO concentration in the murine macrophage RAW264.7 culture media was high with the fermented AFA. The increased immunomodulation capacity was also fractionated to mainly 30-100 kDa. These results suggest that the fermented AFA is a more useful material for health foods and supplements.

Abstract
Background Calcium (Ca) and vitamin D (vit D) in the AIN-93G diet may be higher than required for healthy bone development, and mask the potential benefit of a dietary intervention. Objective The objective was to determine if lower levels of Ca and vit D than is present in the AIN-93G diet supports bone development in growing male CD-1 mice. Methods Weanling male CD-1 mice were randomized to modified AIN-93G diets containing either 100 (Trial 1) or 400 (Trial 2) IU vit D/kg diet within one of two or three Ca levels (0.35, 0.30, or 0.25% Ca diet in Trial 1 or 0.35% or 0.25% in Trial 2) or the AIN-93G diet (1000 IU/kg vit D and 0.5% Ca) from weaning to 4 months of age (n = 13–15/group). At 2 and 4 months of age, BMD and structural properties of the tibia were analyzed in vivo. Structure of lumbar vertebra 4 (L4) and mandible, and femur strength were assessed ex vivo at age 4 months. Results There were no differences in tibia, L4, and mandible structure between the AIN-93G diet and the 0.35% Ca groups at either vit D level. A few structure outcomes were compromised with the 0.25 and/or 0.3% Ca diets but there were no differences in femur biomechanical strength compared to AIN-93G group in either Trial. Conclusion At 400 or 100 IU vit D/kg diet, Ca can be lowered to 0.35% without detriment to BMD or bone structure while bone strength is not altered at lower Ca (0.25%) compared to CD-1 mice fed AIN-93G diet. Because of genetic variation in CD-1 mice among different breeding facilities, results in CD-1 mice from other facilities may differ from the present study.
