Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common clinical complication of post-menopausal women and the elderly and can significantly complicate the severity of bone fragility. The purpose of this study is to investigate how cod bone gelatin administration influences trabecular biomechanical properties after ovariectomy. Both biomechanical properties and trabecular microarchitectures were evaluated for cancellous bone samples from female ovariectomized rats, which were either sham-operated or treated with marine peptide (0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 g/kg body weight) for 90 days. The results have confirmed that cod bone gelatin treatment is effective in the prevention of mechanical property loss by preserving bone mass and trabecular architecture.
