Research Abstract |
In the present study, the significance and the nature of the circadian-rhythmic temporal structure of bone formation and resorption, were investigated in rats in relation to the effect of blockers of bone resorption and formation. Under physiological conditions, both bone formation and resorption followed circadian rhythms with a peak during the light period (resting period of the animal) and with a nadir during the dark period (active period of the animal). The magnitude of the effects of blockers of bone resorption (calcitonin and bisphosphonates) and formation (a large dose of etidronate) also varied diurnally depending on the time of drug administration or the time of observation of the drug effect, which indicatess that the susceptibility of the target site (the process of bone resorption or formation) to the drugs also varied diurnally. Furthermore, tooth movement and changes in periodontal tissue response to orthodontic force and response of mandible to orthopedic force in rats varied depending on the time of day the force was applied. The above findings should prove to be important, not only in future experimental design and interpretation of the data, but also in the efficacious use of drugs or efficacious medical or dental treatments which affect bone resorption and bone formation.
