Effects of Moderate-Intensity Aerobic Exercise on Estrogen Levels and Bone Mineral Density in Ovariectomized Rats.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on estrogen levels and bone density density (BMD) in ovariectomized rats.
Methods: The sham-operated (SHAM), ovariectomized sedentary (OVX), and ovariectomized exercise (OVX + EX) groups were established. The OVX model was established by bilateral ovariectomy. Bone metabolism indicators, structural mechanical properties of the femur, material mechanical properties of the femur, BMD and bone mineral content were assessed.
Results: Compared with the OVX group, the OVX + EX group had lower levels of Ca, P, and STR-ACP, higher BGP levels, increased maximum load, elastic load, maximum stress, and elastic stress of the tibia, elevated serum E2 levels, decreased LH and FSH levels, and higher BMD (all P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can enhance serum hormone levels, improve bone metabolism and biomechanical properties, and increase bone density in ovariectomized rats.
