Drug Treatment and In Vivo Imaging of Osteoblast-Osteoclast Interactions in a Medaka Fish Osteoporosis Model
Published on: January 1, 2017
Abstract:
In vivo neutron activation analysis was employed to determine total body calcium content in C3H/St(Ha) female mice. Ninety-nine percent of calcium is in bone and loss of calcium was used as an index of osteoporosis. Heparin (500 U/kg b.i.d.) treatment for three months resulted in significant osteoporosis. BL3459 and BL4160 (6 mg/kg i.m. q.d.) prevented this heparin induced osteoporosis. BL4160 appeared to be more effective than BL3459 in this regard but the difference was not statistically significant.
