Abstract
Aims
Recent clinical studies demonstrated the association between myocardial infarction (MI) and osteoporotic fractures. We examined whether MI causes bone loss and the effects of exercise training on bone in mice after MI.
Methods
We created a MI model in 16-week-old male apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (
Results
Bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur was significantly decreased in the MI-Sed group as compared with the sham group (
Conclusions
The present study demonstrates that MI reduces BMD and treadmill exercise training prevents the reduction of BMD in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
