Osteopenia in rats with liver cirrhosis: beneficial effects of IGF-I treatment

Journal of Hepatology
A CemborainJ Prieto

Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is associated with osteopenia and also with low levels of IGF-I. This hormone has been reported to stimulate bone formation in states of undernutrition and low bone turnover. Our aims were to evaluate whether osteopenia develops in male Wistar rats with CCl4-induced cirrhosis and whether IGF-I is effective in the restoration of bone mass in these animals. Cirrhotic rats were distributed into two groups: group CI (n = 12) which received placebo and group CI + IGF (n = 12) which was treated with human recombinant IGF-I (2 microg/100 g bw/day, s.c., 21 days). Twelve normal animals which received placebo constituted the control group. On the 22nd day, the animals were sacrificed, and bone parameters were analyzed in femur and/or tibia. Posterior-anterior and latero-medial diameters were similar in all groups. Also, no significant differences were observed in bone contents of calcium, total proteins, collagen and hydroxyapatite in CI rats as compared with controls. However, CI rats showed significant reductions in bone weight (-13.5%, p < 0.001), total bone density (-9.28%, p < 0.001), and increased perimedullar bone resorption and urinary levels of deoxypyridinoline (a marker of bone resorption). In CI + IGF rats th...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
