Bone disorders in spontaneously hypertensive rat

Abstract: The bones of adult (26 weeks old) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were examined chemically and histologically by comparing them with those of the corresponding normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The mean cortical thickness, the mean ash weight per unit bone volume, and the ash as percentage of dry weight of femur were significantly lower in SHR than in WKY. Besides, the percent cortical area measured on tibial cross-section was also reduced in SHR compared with WKY. These findings strongly suggest tha… Show more

“…107 The SHR and Milan hypertensive rats are also more likely to develop bone demineralisation than their normotensive controls. 108,109 Thiazide diuretics which cause a reduction in calcium excretion when given to men and women with and without hypertension reduce the number of hip fractures. 110,111 Inasmuch as kidney stones are known to be associated with a raised urinary excretion of calcium it is probable that the salt-induced increase in urinary calcium excretion in SHR and essential hypertension contributes to their greater incidence of renal stones.…”

“…smoking, diabetes and osteoporosis) have been shown to affect bone density and healing. 8,9 Although the hypothesis that hypertension may have a harmful effect on bone density was previously evaluated in a series of animal and clinical studies, [10][11][12][13][14] to date, few investigations have focused on the influence of hypertension on bone healing. 15 Currently the hypothesis that the hypertension could lead to an increased incidence of late implant loss was evaluated by Alsaadi et al (2008).…”
