Tributyltin protects against ovariectomy-induced trabecular bone loss in C57BL/6J mice with an attenuated effect in high fat fed mice.

ABSTRACT: Risk factors for poor bone quality include estrogen loss at menopause, a high fat diet and exposures to drugs/chemicals that activate peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). We previously reported that the PPARγ and retinoid X receptor dual ligand, tributyltin (TBT), repressed periosteal bone formation but enhanced trabecular bone formation in vivo. Here, we examined the interaction of diet, ovariectomy (OVX) and TBT exposure on bone structure. C57BL/6J mice underwent either sham surgery or OVX at 10 weeks of age. At 12 weeks of age, they were placed on a low (10% kcal) or high (45% kcal) fat, sucrose-matched diet and treated with vehicle or TBT (1 or 5 mg/kg) for 14 weeks. OVX increased body weight gain in mice on either diet. TBT enhanced body weight gain in intact mice
