| description | Introduction: Vitamin E is beneficial in restoring bone histomorphometric
parameters in nicotine-treated rats. This study determined the effectiveness of
3 forms of vitamin E in restoring bone metabolism in nicotine-treated rats.
Material and methods: Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into
5 groups: (1) control (C), (2) nicotine cessation (NC), (3) α-tocopherol (ATF), (4)
tocotrienol-enhanced fraction (TEF) and (5) γ-tocotrienol (GTT). Treatment was
carried out for 4 months. The control group was administered normal saline and
olive oil throughout the treatment period while treatment for groups 2-5 was
performed in 2 phases. In the first phase, the groups received nicotine 7 mg/kg
intraperitoneally for 2 months. The following 2 months, group 2 received normal
saline and olive oil while groups 3-5 received ATF, TEF or GTT, 60 mg/kg orally.
Pre-treatment and post-treatment serum was collected for bone biochemical
marker measurement using the ELISA method.
Results: Nicotine increased serum bone-resorbing cytokines (interleukin-1 and
interleukin-6) and the bone resorption marker pyridinoline (PYD) while reducing
the bone formation marker osteocalcin after 2 months of nicotine treatment.
The parameters failed to improve after nicotine was stopped for 2 months.
Supplementation with the 3 forms of vitamin E improved the parameters, i.e.
reduced the cytokines and pyridinoline as well as increased the osteocalcin. In
addition, the TEF and GTT groups had a higher level of osteocalcin than the
control group.
Conclusions: Nicotine impaired bone metabolism and cessation of nicotine
treatment did not reverse the effects. Vitamin E, especially the tocotrienols,
restored bone metabolism that was impaired due to nicotine. |
