    Notes: Abstract The alteration of bone metabolism in the femur of rats with skeletal unloading for 4 days was investigated. Skeletal unloading was designed using the model of hindlimb hang in rats. Skeletal unloading caused a significant decrease in femoral weight, calcium, and phosphorus contents in the metaphysis but not diaphysis. Also, the unloading induced a significant decrease of zinc content, alkaline phosphatase activity, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content in the femoral diaphysis and metaphysis. When the femoraldiaphyseal and metaphyseal tissues from normal and skeletal-unloading rats were cultured in the presence of insulin (10-9 and 10-8 M) for 24 hours in vitro, the hormonal effect to increase alkaline phosphatase activity and DNA content in the diaphysis, but not metaphysis, was lost in the bone tissues from unloading rats. However, the culture with insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I; 10-8 and 10-7 M) produced a significant increase of alkaline phosphatase activity and DNA content in both the diaphyseal and metaphyseal tissues from normal and unloading rats. These results demonstrate that skeletal unloading causes an impairment of insulin effect, but not IGF-I effect, on bone metabolism in femoral tissues.

    Notes: Abstract Whether the decrease of zinc content in the femoral-metaphyseal tissues of rats with skeletal unloading is involved in the alteration of bone metabolism was investigated. Skeletal unloading was designed using the model of hindlimb suspension in rats. Animals were fed for 4 days with the unloading. The metaphyseal zinc content were significantly decreased by the unloading. Zinc accumulation in the metaphyseal tissues by a single oral administration of zinc sulfate (20 mg Zn/100 g body weight) was partially depressed by the unloading, although serum zinc concentration was higher than that in normal rats, suggesting an impaired movement of zinc from serum into bone tissues by the unloading. Skeletal unloading caused a significant decrease of alkaline phosphatase activity and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content in the metaphyseal tissues. These decreases were completely restored by addition of zinc sulfate (10-4 M) or β-alanyl-L-histidinato zinc (AHZ; 10-5 M) in a culture medium with the metaphyseal tissues in vitro. The effects of zinc compounds were abolished by the presence of cycloheximide (10-8 M), suggesting that the zinc effect is based on a newly synthesized protein. Dipicolinate (10-4 and 10-5 M), a potent zinc-chelating agent, caused an appreciable decrease of zinc content and alkaline phosphatase activity in the metaphyseal tissues. This decrease was restored by zinc supplement. The present results suggest that the skeletal unloading-induced decrease of zinc content in the femoral-metaphyseal tissues plays a role in the deterioration of bone metabolism in the unloaded rats.

    Notes: Summary The effect of simulated weightlessness on bone protein and DNA syntheses was investigated in the skeletal unloading for up to 4 days. The skeletal unloading was designed by using the model of hindlimb hang in rats. The femoral-diaphyseal fragments obtained from rats which bred with skeletal unloading were cultured for 3 h at 37°C in 5% CO2/95% air in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (high glucose). When the bone tissues were pulsed with [3H]proline, the incorporation of [3H]proline into the bone protein was significantly decreased by skeletal unloading. In the pulse with [14C]uridine, the incorporation of [14C]uridine into the bone RNA was significantly reduced by skeletal unloading. Moreover, the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into the acid-insoluble residues of bone tissue was significantly decreased by skeletal unloading. Also, DNA content in the femoral diaphysis was significantly reduced by skeletal unloading. These findings suggest that skeletal unloading causes the decreases of protein and DNA syntheses in the femoral diaphysis of rats.

    Notes: Summary The effect of simulated weightlessness on bone metabolism was investigated in the skeletal unloading for up to 9 days. The skeletal unloading was designed by using the model of hindlimb hang in rats. The food ingestion of rats with the skeletal unloading was not altered in comparison to that of normal rats. Calcium concentration in the serum was not significantly altered by the skeletal unloading for 9 days, while the serum inorganic phosphorus concentration was significantly decreased at 6 and 9 days. Calcium content in the femoral diaphysis was not altered by the skeletal unloading for 9 days. However, the activities of alkaline and acid phosphatases in the femoral diaphysis were markedly decreased by the skeletal unloading. The decrease in bone alkaline phosphatase activity was seen at 2 days with the skeletal unloading. The present results demonstrate that the skeletal unloading with hindlimb hang can induce the disorder of bone metabolism. This model is useful for studying the effects of simulated weightlessness on bone metabolism.
