چکیده

Activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPARG) is required for the differentiation of marrow mesenchymal stem cell into adipocytes and is associated with the development of age-related marrow adiposity in mice. Thiazolidinediones are agonists for PPARG and have a heterogeneous effect on bone mineral density (BMD). We postulated that genetic determinants influence the skeletal response to thiazolidinediones. We examined the effects of rosiglitazone (3 mg/kg . d for 8 wk) on BMD, body composition, and serum IGF-I in adult female mice from four inbred strains. C3H/HeJ mice showed the most significant response to treatment, exhibiting decreased femoral and vertebral BMD, reduced distal femoral bone volume fraction and a decrease in serum IGF-I. In DBA/2J, there were no changes in femoral BMD or bone volume fraction, but there was a decrease in vertebral BMD. C57BL/6J mice showed increases in marrow adiposity, without associated changes in trabecular bone volume; the skeletal effects from rosiglitazone in A/J mice were minimal. No association between trabecular bone volume and marrow adiposity was found. The effect of rosiglitazone on gene expression in the femur was then examined in the C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J strains by microarray. Increased gene expression was observed in the PPARG signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism in both C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J, but a significant down-regulation of genes associated with cell cycle was noted only in the C3H/HeJ strain. The divergent skeletal responses to rosiglitazone in this study suggest the existence of a strong genetic background effect.

Low bone mass in subjects on a long-term raw vegetarian diet.

BACKGROUND Little is known regarding the health effects of a raw food (RF) vegetarian diet. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study on 18 volunteers (mean +/- SD age, 54.2 +/- 11.5 years; male/female ratio, 11:7) on a RF vegetarian diet for a mean of 3.6 years and a comparison age- and sex-matched group eating typical American diets. We measured body composition, bone mineral content and...

Serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 levels as an indicator of functional ability in elderly men.

BACKGROUND In a cross-sectional study in 403 healthy, independently living elderly men (mean age 78 years), we determined which are the main physiological determinants of functional ability in the elderly, and which components of the somatotropic system contribute to the maintenance of functional ability. METHODS Functional ability was assessed by the number of problems in activities of daily...

Postnatal nutrition alters body composition in adult offspring exposed to maternal protein restriction.

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is altered with intra-uterine growth retardation and in adult metabolic disease. The aim of the present study was to observe effects of continued protein restriction on the IGF-I system and body composition in offspring of mothers fed a low-protein (LP) diet. Offspring from Wistar dams fed either a 20 % (CON) or 8 % (LP) protein diet during gestation ...

P-64: The Relationship between Polymorphism in Gene of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and The Serum Periparturient Concentration in Holstein Dairy Cows

Background: One of the most important metabolic factors affecting the reproductive activity is insulin-like growth factor-I (IGFI) concentration changes after calving. Recently, Maj et al. (2008) discovered a significant association between the IGF-I genotypes based on the 5'-untranslatedregion (5'-UTR) of IGF-I gene and the IGF-I blood level. The objective of this study is to investi...

Green tea polyphenols benefits body composition and improves bone quality in long-term high-fat diet-induced obese rats.

This study investigates the effects of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) on body composition and bone properties along with mechanisms in obese female rats. Thirty-six 3-month-old Sprague Dawley female rats were fed either a low-fat (LF) or a high-fat (HF) diet for 4 months. Animals in the LF diet group continued on an LF diet for additional 4 months, whereas those in the HF diet group were divided ...
