“…21 A significant aBMD or aBMC reduction was not seen with MTX at other sites, however. A reduction was observed in femoral length in the MTX treated groups (2.9%) and was consistent with the 5% loss found by Van Leeuwen using a more extensive MTX treatment of nine weekly doses in growing rats.…”

“…5,7,8,11,12 MTX was administered following a regimen previously used to model high-dose chemotherapy in an adult Sprague-Dawley rat. 21 Briefly, over the first 19 days of the study CTL and MTX groups received intraperitoneal injections of saline or 0.75 mg/kg/day MTX (Ben Venue Laboratories, Bedford, OH), respectively, in a 5 days on/9 days off/5 days on regimen. Thereafter, the two groups received weekly saline subcutaneous injections.…”

“…This has been demonstrated particularly in the growing skeleton [20][21], but there appears to be little data on the mechanisms of the direct toxic effects of chemotherapy agents on bone especially for the newer regimens [22]. There are limited data in experimental animals, eg a demonstration in rats that methotrexate had both shortterm (30 days) and long-term (170 days) significant adverse effects on cancellous bone compared to a control group [23], but this study was phenomenological rather than mechanistic.…”
