Cervical vertebrae for early bone loss evaluation in osteoporosis mouse models

Bin Teng · Xiang-Fang Yu · Jian Li +9 more

Osteoporosis (OP), a systemic skeletal disease common in aged population, is an important public health problem worldwide. Animal models are important tools for understanding OP. In ovariectomy (OVX) or orchiectomy (ORX) OP models, lumbar vertebrae are often used for evaluating of the OP progression. However, unlike the bipeds, the lumbar vertebrae are not weight loading bones in quadruped animal, but the head-bearing cervical vertebrae take much higher stress. So, we compared the murine cervical vertebrae with lumbar vertebrae for OP assessment.
