The effects of two vitamin D3 metabolites, 24 R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and lα,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, were investigated in ovariectomized rats. The amount of ash in the femur on a defatted dry weight basis was significantly greater in rats treated with 1 μg/kg 24 R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, or 0.01 or 0.1 μg/kg lα,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 than in the controls. The concentration of bone gla protein in serum and amounts in the femur were significantly greater in rats treated with 1 or 10 Mg/kg 24 R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, but not those given 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 compared with the controls. These results suggest that 24 R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 increased bone mass probably through the stimulation of bone formation.

This studied determined the clinical effect of antibiotic use at the site of bone defect restoration in patients with osteoporosis, using tooth ash and plaster of Paris in ovariectomized rats. Forty-eight rats were assigned to four groups randomly and each group was further divided into 4 and 8 weeks after implantation. Histologic sections of the defects were obtained after surgery for histomorphometric analysis. Comparing each week, a significant difference was seen in bone formation by 4 weeks. Compared to controls, new bone formation increased significantly with tooth ash and saline, tooth ash and gentamicin, and tooth ash and gentamicin after ovariectomy. Tooth ash and saline resulted in the best bone formation. The degree of new bone formation was slightly lower when tooth ash and gentamicin were used compared to when tooth ash and saline were used. When tooth ash and gentamicin were compared according to ovariectomy, bone formation was significantly inhibited by ovariectomy at 4 weeks, while no significant difference was seen at 8 weeks.
