Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle can impair health. Regular physical activity improves the quality of life and is essential for bone health. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of the cafeteria diet on bone quality of sedentary and exercised rats. METHODS Sixty young male Wistar rats were divided into six groups (n=10) according to diet composition and activity level, being: SD+CON, standard diet and control; SD+SED, standard diet and sedentary; SD+EX, standard diet and exercised; CD+CON, cafeteria diet and control; CD+SED, cafeteria diet and sedentary; CD+EX, cafeteria diet and exercised. The exercise protocol consisted of 10 ladder-climbing sessions/day, 5 days/week, and the sedentary rats were maintained in individual cages with limited mobility. Body mass and food intake were evaluated weekly. After 10 weeks, the animals were euthanized, and white adipose tissue was collected. The bone structure was evaluated by densitometry, mechanical tests, histomorphometric, and micro-computed tomography analyses. RESULTS The cafeteria diet increased adipose tissue (p<0.001), decreased bone mineral density (p=0.004), and impaired biomechanical properties (p<0.05) and histomorphometry parameters (p=0.044). The sedentarism decreased bone mineral density (p<0.001) and biomechanical properties (p<0.05), and the exercise did not improve bone properties. CONCLUSION In this experimental model, it was concluded that the cafeteria diet and a sedentary lifestyle negatively affect bone, and ladder-climbing exercise could not prevent the effects of the unhealthy diet.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine the effects of dietary hazelnut oil (HO) and sunflower oil (SO) on the mineral composition of chicken femur and tibia bones. A 40-day trial was initiated with 600 1-day-old Ross 308 chickens. Initially, the chickens were randomly divided into four main groups of 150 each according to the proportion of SO and HO supplementation in their diets: control SO (25 g/kg SO), LHO (25 g/kg HO), HHO (50 g/kg HO), and MO (50 g/kg blend of 25 g/kg SO + 25 g/kg HO). Each group was further divided into six subgroups of 25 chickens. At the end of the trial, four chickens from each of the six subgroups were randomly selected and slaughtered. Their right tibia and right femur bones were isolated and analyzed for macro (Ca, P, Mg) and trace (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cr, Co, and Se) minerals in addition to ether extract and ash. The results suggest that the diets' fat concentration and fatty acid composition significantly affected the Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu, Cr, and Se composition of tibia bones (p < 0.01). The ether extract and ash contents of the femur bones were increased in both HHO and MO groups (p < 0.05), while Fe and Cr compositions were lower in all femur bones, except those from SO chickens (p < 0.05). The Se content of femur bones in the LHO group was higher than the other treatment groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the amount of oil and fatty acid in the diet affected the accumulation of Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu, and Cr minerals in the tibia bone. Moreover, the amount of Cr and Fe was lower in the femur and tibia bones in the group that received the HO supplement and all groups in which the amount of oil fed was increased.

Abstract
To clarify osteoporotic effects of ketogenic diet (KD) on cancellous and cortical bone compared with ovariectomy (OVX) in mice. Forty female C57BL/6J 8-week-old mice were randomly divided into SD+Sham, SD+OVX, KD+Sham, and KD+OVX groups, and fed for 12 weeks. The distal femur of trabecular bone and the middle femur of cortical bone were evaluated with Micro-CT scanning. The maximum bending force and stiffness of the tibia were calculated using a three-point bending test. Osteoblast and osteoclast expression of femur were identified using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), collagen type I (CoLI), and osteocalcin (OCN) staining. A 2-factor analysis of variance was used to evaluate effects of KD and OVX on radiological, biomechanical, and histological parameters. KD resulted in not only remarkable cancellous bone decline comparable to OVX, but also unique cortical bone reduction. The maximum bending force and stiffness decreased in the KD+Sham and KD+OVX groups but did not change in the SD+OVX group. The KD+OVX led to significantly higher expression in TRAP and noticeably lower expression in CoLI when compared with other groups. Both KD+Sham and SD+OVX prominently increased expression in TRAP, but decreased expression in CoLI. There was no significant difference in OCN among the four groups. The present results suggest that KD compromises both the cancellous and cortical bone architecture of long bones while OVX only in cancellous bone architecture. A combination of KD and OVX may lead to more bone loss.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis occurs in both women and men, but most of what we know about the condition comes from studies in females. The present study examined bone structure and function over an 18-month period in male C57BL/6 mice maintained on either a rodent chow diet (AIN76A) or a high-fat, Western-style diet (HFWD). Effects of mineral supplementation were assessed in both diets. METHODS Trabecular and cortical bone structure in femora and vertebrae were assessed by micro-CT analysis. Following this, bone stiffness and strength measurements were made. Finally, bone levels of several cationic trace elements were quantified, and serum biomarkers of bone metabolism evaluated. RESULTS Bone loss occurred over time in both diets but was more rapid and extensive in mice on the HFWD. Dietary mineral supplementation reduced bone loss in both diets and increased bone stiffness in the femora and bone stiffness and strength in the vertebrae. Bone content of strontium was increased in response to mineral supplementation in both diets. CONCLUSIONS Bone loss was more severe in mice on the HFWD and mineral supplementation mitigated the effects of the HFWD. In comparison to previous findings with female C57BL/6 mice, the present studies indicate that males are more sensitive to diet and benefited from a healthy diet (AIN76A), while females lost as much bone on the healthy diet as on the HFWD. Male mice benefited from mineral supplementation, just as females did in the previous study.

Abstract
The relationship between fat and bone mass at distinct trabecular and cortical skeletal compartments in a high-fat diet (HFD) model was studied. For this, C57BL/6 mice were assigned to four groups of eight animals each. Two groups, each of males and females, received a standard chow diet while the remaining other two groups received the HFD for a period of 10 weeks. Male mice on the HFD were heavier and gained more weight (15·8 %; P< 0·05) v. those on the control diet or when compared with the female rats fed the HFD. We observed an increased lipid profile in both males and females, with significantly higher lipid levels (about 20–25 %; P< 0·01) in males. However, glucose intolerance was more pronounced in females than males on the HFD (about 30 %; P< 0·05). The micro-architectural assessment of bones showed that compared with female mice on the HFD, male mice on the HFD showed more deterioration at the trabecular region. This was corroborated by plasma osteocalcin and carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTx) levels confirming greater loss in males (about 20 %; P< 0·01). In both sexes cortical bone parameters and strength remained unchanged after 10 weeks of HFD treatment. The direct effect of the HFD on bone at the messenger RNA level in progenitor cells isolated from femoral bone marrow was a significantly increased expression of adipogenic marker genes v. osteogenic genes. Overall, the present data indicate that obesity induced by a HFD aggravates bone loss in the cancellous bone compartment, with a greater loss in males than females, although 10 weeks of HFD treatment did not alter cortical bone mass and strength in both males and females.

Abstract
A correlation between obesity and bone metabolism is strongly assumed because adipocytes and osteoblasts originate from the same precursor cells and their differentiation is conversely regulated by the same factors. It is controversially discussed if obesity protects bone or leads to loss of bone mass. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of diet-induced mild obesity (11% increased body weight compared to control) on bone microstructure in mice. Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice received a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% kcal from fat) and were analyzed by means of dual X-ray absorptiometry, histological methods, real-time RT-PCR, and transmission electron microscopy in comparison to control animals (10% kcal from fat). The cancellous bone mass, collagen 1α1 expression, amount of osteoid, and cohesion of cells via cell-to-cell contacts decreased in HFD mice whereas the bone mineral density and the amount of osteoblasts and osteoclasts were not modified. The amount of apoptotic osteocytes was increased in HFD mice in comparison to controls. We conclude that moderately increased body weight does not protect bone architecture from age-dependent degeneration. By contrast, bone microstructure is negatively affected and reduced maintenance of cell-cell contacts may be one of the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
High fat diets adversely affect body composition, bone mineral and strength, and alter bone fatty acid composition. It is unclear if maternal high fat (HF) feeding permanently alters offspring body composition and bone health. Female rats were fed control (CON) or HF diet for 10 weeks, bred, and continued their diets throughout pregnancy and lactation. Male and female offspring were studied at weaning and 3 months, following consumption of CON diet. At weaning, but not 3 months of age, male and female offspring from dams fed HF diet had lower lean mass and higher fat and bone mass, and higher femur bone mineral density (females only) than offspring of dams fed CON diet. Male and female offspring femurs from dams fed HF diet had higher monounsaturates and lower n6 polyunsaturates at weaning than offspring from dams fed CON diet, where females from dams fed HF diet had higher saturates and lower n6 polyunsaturates at 3 months of age. There were no differences in strength of femurs or lumbar vertebrae at 3 months of age in either male or female offspring. In conclusion, maternal HF feeding did not permanently affect body composition and bone health at young adulthood in offspring.

Abstract
A high-fat diet (HFD) has been recognized as a risk factor for diseases such as dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, and osteoporosis. However, studies analyzing gene expression after HFD in bone are rare. That prompted us to analyze the expression of selected genes in bone of 4-week-old diabetes-prone B(io)B(reeding) rats. Two breeding pairs were fed a HFD (+10 % tallow) or were fed a normal diet (ND; Ssniff R-Z) before mating and afterward during pregnancy. After the birth of progeny, parents continued to be given HFD or ND until the progeny was weaned (3 weeks). Thereafter, offspring were weaned and were fed the same food as their parents up to an age of 4 weeks. Body weight was measured at an age of 4 weeks, and subsequently 13 HFD rats and 13 ND rats were killed and the tibial bone was harvested to analyze the expression of 53 genes in bone. All rats fed HFD were significantly heavier than rats fed ND after 3 and 4 weeks. The diet also influenced the expression of genes in bone. There were significant differences in 20 out of 53 genes studied between rats fed HFD compared with rats fed ND. Four out of 20 had a lower and 17 out of 20 genes a higher expression in HFD rats, but differences in gene expression showed obvious differences between males and females. There were only two genes that were similarly different between males and females: Bmp4 and Atf4. Two genes, Foxg1 and Npy, were inversely expressed in males and females. It seems that the gene expression is differently regulated by diet during pregnancy and later in life between males and females. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that HFD also acts as an epigenetic factor in the development of offspring in utero.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that high-fat diets adversely affect bone development. However, these studies included other dietary manipulations, including low calcium, folic acid, and fibre, and (or) high sucrose or cholesterol, and did not directly compare several common sources of dietary fat. Thus, the overall objective of this study was to investigate the effect of high-fat diets that differ in fat quality, representing diets high in saturated fatty acids (SFA), n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), or n-6 PUFA, on femur bone mineral density (BMD), strength, and fatty acid composition. Forty-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained for 65 days on high-fat diets (20% by weight), containing coconut oil (SFA; n = 10), flaxseed oil (n-3 PUFA; n = 10), or safflower oil (n-6 PUFA; n = 11). Chow-fed rats (n = 10), at 105 days of age, were included to represent animals on a control diet. Rats fed high-fat diets had higher body weights than the chow-fed rats (p < 0.001). Among all high-fat groups, there were no differences in femur BMD (p > 0.05) or biomechanical strength properties (p > 0.05). Femurs of groups fed either the high n-3 or high n-6 PUFA diets were stronger (as measured by peak load) than those of the chow-fed group, after adjustment for significant differences in body weight (p = 0.001). As expected, the femur fatty acid profile reflected the fatty acid composition of the diet consumed. These results suggest that high-fat diets, containing high levels of PUFA in the form of flaxseed or safflower oil, have a positive effect on bone strength when fed to male rats 6 to 15 weeks of age.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a mineral-rich extract derived from the red marine algae Lithothamnion calcareum could be used as a dietary supplement for prevention of bone mineral loss. Sixty C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups based on diet: the first group received a high-fat Western-style diet (HFWD), the second group was fed the same HFWD along with the mineral-rich extract included as a dietary supplement, and the third group was used as a control and was fed a low-fat rodent chow diet (AIN76A). Mice were maintained on the respective diets for 15 months. Then, long bones (femora and tibiae) from both males and females were analyzed by three-dimensional micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and (bones from female mice) concomitantly assessed in bone strength studies. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), osteocalcin, and N-terminal peptide of type I procollagen (PINP) were assessed in plasma samples obtained from female mice at the time of sacrifice. To summarize, female mice on the HFWD had reduced bone mineralization and reduced bone strength relative to female mice on the low-fat chow diet. The bone defects in female mice on the HFWD were overcome in the presence of the mineral-rich supplement. In fact, female mice receiving the mineral-rich supplement in the HFWD had better bone structure/function than did female mice on the low-fat chow diet. Female mice on the mineral-supplemented HFWD had higher plasma levels of TRAP than mice of the other groups. There were no differences in the other two markers. Male mice showed little diet-specific differences by micro-CT.

Abstract
Low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LC-HF) diets are popular for inducing weight loss in adults and are also used as part of a treatment for children with epilepsy. However, potential risks and side effects remain controversial. We investigated effects of LC-HF diets on growth, bone mineral density (BMD), and turnover in growing rats fed for 4 weeks either normal chow (CH, 9% fat, 33% protein, and 58% carbohydrates), LC-HF-1 (66% fat, 33% protein, and 1% carbohydrates), or LC-HF-2 (94.5% fat, 4.2% protein, and 1.3% carbohydrates). Rats fed LC-HF diets accumulated significantly more visceral and bone marrow fat and showed increased leptin but decreased insulin-like growth-factor 1 (IGF-1). Both LC-HF diets significantly decreased body length (nose to rump), but lengths of humerus, tibia, and femur were significantly reduced with LC-HF-2 only. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and micro-CT (microCT) independently revealed significant reductions in BMD of tibiae in both LC-HF groups, and tibial maximum load was impaired. Bone-formation marker N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen was reduced in sera of LC-HF groups, whereas bone resorption marker CrossLaps remained unchanged. Real-time PCR analysis revealed significant reductions by 70% to 80% of transcription factors influencing osteoblastogenesis (Runx2, osterix, and C/EBPbeta) in bone marrow of rats fed LC-HF diets. In conclusion, both LC-HF diets impaired longitudinal growth, BMD, and mechanical properties, possibly mediated by reductions in circulating IGF-1. Serum bone-formation markers as well as expression of transcription factors influencing osteoblastogenesis were reduced. This might indicate a lower rate of mesenchymal stem cells differentiating into osteoblasts, thus explaining reduced bone formation with LC-HF diets.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated some bone parameters (bone mineral content, bone mineral density, skeleton area) in growing rats fed with a high fat diet. Correlations between bone and body composition parameters are reported. Two groups of Wistar male rats (35 days old, body mass 80 ± 6 g) were used. Water and food were given "ad libitum" during 10 weeks. Sixteen rats (L) were given a lipid enriched diet and were compared to 16 rats (S) fed with a standard diet. Body composition and bone parameters were assessed using DXA. Results indicated that L rats had lower body mass, lean body mass; fat mass was not different between the two groups. Bone mineral content, bone mineral density, skeleton area of L rats were lower compared with S rats. Significant correlations were noted between body composition, adiponectin and bone parameters. High fat diet intake during the growing period has deleterious effects on bone parameters in rats. This study confirms in growing rats that a high fat diet is pathogenic, including bone metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a lipid-enriched diet on body composition and on main regulatory hormones of food intake (insulin, adiponectin, leptin, ghrelin). METHOD Two groups of 16 rats, 35 days old, weighing 80+/-6 g, were constituted. One group (S) was given a standard diet during 10 weeks and served as control. The second group (L) was given a lipidic-enriched diet (containing: G: 41.5, L: 38.5, P: 20% calorie). Food and water were given "ad libitum". RESULTS Total food intake, body weight, skeletal area and lean body mass of rats eating lipid-enriched diet were lowered (6694+/-178 vs. 8160+/-184 kcal, P=0.01; 431+/-38 vs. 468+/-25 g, P=0.003; 72.19+/-0.96 vs. 76.07+/-1.31 cm2, P=0.03; 369+/-18 vs. 409+/-23 g, P=0.0006), fat mass difference was not statistically significant (82.5+/-17 vs. 80+/-17 g, P=0.7). Blood ghrelin, adiponectin levels were lowered (1517+/-224 vs. 1915+/-579 pg/ml, P=0.03; 10+/-3 vs. 19+/-3 microg/ml, P=0.003) whereas insulin and leptin were unchanged (1.8+/-1.5 vs. 2.6+/-1.4 ng/ml, P=0.1; 16+/-11 vs. 13+/-10 ng/ml, P=0.4). CONCLUSION A period of high fat diet in growing rats leads to a hypophagia, resulting in a lower lean body mass development. Some regulatory hormones of food intake did not change, while others significantly decreased, notably ghrelin being possible causal factor of the observed hypophagia linked to high fat diet.

Abstract
The effect of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) on bone measurements was evaluated in gonad-intact middle-aged male rats. Seven rats were killed on day 0 of dietary intervention to determine bone parameters at baseline. Experimental rats (7/group) were fed one of the following lipid treatments (g/kg diet): 167 g safflower oil + 33 g menhaden oil (N6+N3 diet, control), 200 g safflower oil (N6 diet), or 190 menhaden oil + 10 g corn oil (N3 diet). After 20 weeks of dietary treatment, all groups had lower values for peak load and ultimate stiffness in femurs compared to baseline values. Rats fed the N3 diet had the highest values for peak load, ultimate stiffness, and Young's modulus compared with those fed the N6 and control diets. Compared to baseline, all dietary treatment groups had significantly lower values for trabecular thickness and number in proximal tibia but higher values for trabecular separation and formation rate in proximal tibia and endocortical bone formation rate in tibial shaft. Compared with the control group, rats fed the N3 diet had lower values for formation rate, osteoclast number, and eroded surface in proximal tibia but higher values for periosteal mineral apposition and formation rates in tibia shaft. These findings indicate that a diet rich in long-chain n-3 PUFA mitigate aging-induced loss of bone integrity in intact middle-aged male rats through reducing bone turnover rate by suppressing both bone formation and resorption as a result of a larger net bone volume and modulating endocortical and cancellous bone compartments.

Abstract
Low-grade metabolic acidosis, consecutive to excessive catabolism of sulfur amino acids and a high dietary Na:K ratio, is a common feature of Western food habits. This metabolic alteration may exert various adverse physiological effects, especially on bone, muscle and kidneys. To assess the actual effects of various K salts, a model of the Westernised diet has been developed in rats: slight protein excess (20 % casein); cations provided as non-alkalinising salts; high Na:K ratio. This diet resulted in acidic urine (pH 5.5) together with a high rate of divalent cation excretion in urine, especially Mg. Compared with controls, K supplementation as KCl accentuated Ca excretion, whereas potassium bicarbonate or malate reduced Mg and Ca excretion and alkalinised urine pH (up to 8). In parallel, citraturia was strongly increased, together with 2-ketoglutarate excretion, by potassium bicarbonate or malate in the diet. Basal sulfate excretion, in the range of 1 mmol/d, was slightly enhanced in rats fed the potassium malate diet. The present model of low-grade metabolic acidosis indicates that potassium malate may be as effective as KHCO3 to counteract urine acidification, to limit divalent cation excretion and to ensure high citrate concentration in urine.

[PMID: 16037758 DOI: 10.1097/01.gme.0000153717.86640.fd] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2004] [Revised: 11/02/2004] [Accepted: 11/02/2004] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if feeding soy in combination with a high-calcium diet would preserve bone mineral density and biomechanical bone strength to a greater extent than either soy or calcium alone. DESIGN Rats were sham-operated (n = l0) and fed a control diet (AIN93G containing 0.2% calcium, 20% casein) or ovariectomized (n = 40) and randomized to one of the following diets (n = 10 per group): control, high calcium (2.5% calcium, 20% casein), soy (0.2% calcium, 20% soy protein), or soy plus high calcium (2.5% calcium, 20% soy protein) for 8 weeks. Bone mineral density of femurs and lumbar vertebrae 1 through 6 were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Biomechanical strength properties of femurs and the fifth lumbar vertebrae were measured by three-point bending and compression, respectively. RESULTS The dietary combination of soy and high calcium did not result in higher femur bone mineral density compared with other ovariectomized groups, and there were no differences in femur yield load or peak load among groups. In contrast, soy plus high calcium resulted in a higher (P < 0.05) vertebral bone mineral density compared with all other ovariectomized groups. Vertebral strength was preserved among rats fed either soy plus high calcium, soy, or high calcium whereas the ovariectomized group fed a control diet had lower (P < 0.05) vertebral strength than the sham-operated group. CONCLUSION Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine was the only bone outcome that significantly benefited from the combination of soy and high calcium compared with soy or high calcium alone.

Fonseca D, Ward WE. Daidzein together with high calcium preserve bone mass and biomechanical strength at multiple sites in ovariectomized mice. Bone 2004; 35:489-97. [PMID: 15268901 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2004.03.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 94] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2003] [Revised: 03/28/2004] [Accepted: 03/30/2004] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
As the prevalence of osteoporosis is increasing, and the adverse effects of hormone replacement therapy are evident, women are searching for natural alternatives such as soy isoflavones to help prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Daidzein is one of the most abundant isoflavones present in soy and it is unique as it can be further metabolized to equol, a compound with greater estrogenic activity than other isoflavones. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of purified daidzein in combination with high calcium (Ca) on preserving femur and lumbar vertebrae (LV1-LV4) bone mineral density (BMD) and biomechanical bone strength at three different sites (femur midpoint, femur neck and LV3) in ovariectomized mice. Sham (SH) mice (n = 12) received control diet (AIN93G) containing 2 g Ca/kg diet and ovariectomized mice were randomized to 1 of 6 groups (n = 12/group): OVX (2 g Ca/kg diet), HCa (25 g Ca/kg diet), HD (2 g Ca + 200 mg daidzein/kg diet), HDCa (25 g Ca + 200 mg daidzein/kg diet), LD (2 g Ca + 100 mg daidzein/kg diet) or LDCa (25 g Ca + 100 mg daidzein/kg diet) for 12 weeks. HDCa preserved femur and vertebrae BMD and biomechanical bone strength (at all three sites) compared to the OVX group, however, only femur yield load (at midpoint) was preserved to a level that was greater (P < 0.05) than HCa alone. Mice fed HD diet had greater (P < 0.05) femur BMD than OVX group, however, daidzein alone (HD) did not appear to preserve trabecular bone (i.e., vertebrae BMD and vertebra peak load). All mice fed daidzein produced equol and there were no uterotrophic effects of daidzein at either dose. Both daidzein and Ca attenuated the increase in serum IL-1beta observed in the OVX group. The results from this study suggest that the combination of daidzein and high Ca favorably affect cortical and trabecular bone as indicated by femur and lumbar vertebrae BMD and biomechanical strength but much of this effect is mediated by the high Ca diet. Further investigation is required to determine optimal dietary levels of daidzein and Ca with the long-term goal of developing a dietary strategy to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and related fragility fractures.
