Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The objectives of the present study were to determine whether simvastatin (SIM) could reverse the harmful effects on titanium rod osseointegration in ovariectomized rats fed high-fat diet (HFD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ovariectomized female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to three groups and received SIM treatment plus HFD for 12 weeks. We then evaluated the microstructure parameters, histological parameters, biomechanical parameters, bone turnover, and blood lipid level. RESULTS: After 12 weeks of treatment, SIM can significantly improve bone formation around the titanium rod and osseointegration including higher values of maximum push-out force, bone area ratio (BAR), bone-to-implant contact (BIC), bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), mean connective density (Conn.D) when compared with the HFD group. In addition, system administration of SIM showed positive effects on collagen type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX-1), procollagen I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Compared with the HFD group, lower values of CTX-1, P1NP, TC, TGL and LDL were observed in the SIM+HFD group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our findings revealed that HFD may have an adverse effect on osseointegration in osteoporotic conditions, and the harmful effect of HFD on osseointegration could be reversed by SIM.
