AIMS: To investigate the effect of insulin therapy on biomechanical properties of bone in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in rats. METHODS: A total of 28 male Wistar-Albino rats (12-week-old; 210-300g) were divided into 4 groups (n=7 for each) including control [C; no treatment], sham [Sh; distilled water i.p., for 8 weeks], diabetes [T1DM; 65mg/kg of STZ, single i.p.] and diabetes+insulin treatment [T1DM+I; 65mg/kg of STZ, single i.p.+insulin; 2-4UI/day/rat, i.p., for 8 weeks] groups. Body weight, blood glucose levels (BGLs), bone mineral density (BMD) and geometric/mechanical properties of bone tissue were evaluated. RESULTS: BGLs in diabetic rats were significantly increased compared to non-diabetic rats, while the body weights were decreased (p<0.05). Femur length and cross-sectional area of femur were significantly decreased in both T1DM and T1DM+I groups (p<0.05). The significant reduction obtained in BMD in T1DM rats compared with C and Sh (p<0.05) groups was reversed by insulin treatment (p<0.05). Displacement, absorbed energy, maximum load, ultimate stress and toughness were significantly decreased inT1DM and T1DM+I groups compared to C and Sh groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, insulin treatment seems to be ineffective in restoration of biomechanical deterioration of bone specific to STZ-induced T1DM.
