Abstract
Blood supply is essential for osteogenesis, yet its relationship to load-related increases in bone mass is poorly defined. Herein, we aim to investigate the link between load-induced osteogenesis and the blood supply (bone perfusion and vascular porosity) using an established osteogenic non-invasive model of axial loading. Accordingly, 12N mechanical loads were applied to the right tibiae of six male C57BL6 mice at 10-12 weeks of age, 3 times/week for two weeks. Skeletal perfusion was measured acutely (post-loading) and chronically in loaded and contralateral, non-loaded hindlimbs by Laser Doppler imaging. Vascular and lacunar porosity of the cortical bone and tibia load-related changes in trabecular and cortical bone were measured by nanoCT and micro-CT, respectively. We found that the mean skeletal perfusion (loaded: non-loaded limb ratio) increased by 56% immediately following the first loading episode (versus baseline, P
