To investigate the effect of estrogen on osteoarthritis in female rats.
Forty female rats were divided into four groups. In group I, the rats were not given any treatment as a control. In groups II, III and IV, the rats received fixing left knee joint on extension position. Meanwhile, the rats received ovariectomy in group III; ovariectomy and diethylstilbestrol treatment in group IV, respectively. After 4 weeks, histological observation and serum BGP examination were done.
In groups II, III and IV, the levels of serum BGP were 3.50 +/- 0.39, 5.72 +/- 0.64 and 3.95 +/- 0.44, respectively. The pathologic grades of cartilage and synovium were 10.83 +/- 4.35 and 4.21 +/- 2.03; 15.32 +/- 3.42 and 7.62 +/- 3.42; and 12.65 +/- 2.73 and 5.46 +/- 1.23, respectively.
Estrogen may play an important role in delaying the development of osteoarthritis.
探讨雌激素对雌性大鼠骨关节炎的影响。
将40只雌性大鼠分为四组。第一组大鼠不做任何处理作为对照。第二、三、四组大鼠将左膝关节固定于伸展位。同时,第三组大鼠进行卵巢切除术;第四组大鼠分别进行卵巢切除术及己烯雌酚治疗。4周后,进行组织学观察及血清骨钙素(BGP)检测。
第二、三、四组大鼠血清BGP水平分别为3.50±0.39、5.72±0.64和3.95±0.44。软骨和滑膜的病理分级分别为10.83±4.35和4.21±2.03;15.32±3.42和7.62±3.42;以及12.65±2.73和5.46±1.23。
雌激素可能在延缓骨关节炎发展中起重要作用。
