ABSTRACT

2

Information on the pathophysiology of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is limited,

3

since its clinical picture often reflects a combined effect of glucocorticoids (GC) and the

4

treated systemic disease (i.e. inflammation and immobility). In 50 healthy adult (30 month old)

5

primiparous Göttingen minipigs we studied the short-term (8 months, n=30) and long-term

6

effect of GC (15 months, n=10) on bone and mineral metabolism longitudinally and cross-

7

sectionally, as compared to a control group (n=10). All animals on GC treatment received

8

prednisolone orally at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg body weight/d for 8 weeks, and thereafter at 0.5

9

mg/kg body weight/d. In the short-term GC reduced bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar

10

spine by -47.5±5.1 mg/cm3 from baseline (P
