Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by a decrease in bone density, impairment of its microarchitectonics, and an increased risk of fractures that occur under minimal or no mechanical stress. One of the main causes of osteoporosis is vitamin D deficiency, which leads to disruption of normal bone remodeling. The aim of our study was to analyze the features of the process of bone tissue remodeling by measuring the key biochemical markers of bone formation/resorption in primary and secondary osteoporosis, as well as to investigate the potential corrective effect of vitamin D3 supplementation. The work was conducted on rats with different osteoporosis models: alimentary, dysfunctional and secondary osteoporosis associated with diabetes mellitus. We used ELISA to measure 25(OH)D content in blood serum. Blood serum and bone tissue calcium, and alkaline phosphatase activity were determined with bioassay kits. The content of inorganic phosphate in blood serum and ash was assayed by the Dyce method. It was shown that all the studied pathological conditions were accompanied by vitamin D deficiency, which led to impaired absorption of calcium in the intestine and reabsorption of inorganic phosphates by the kidneys, reducing, as a result, their concentration in the blood serum. Hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia contributed to the disruption of normal bone remodeling, excessive activation of alkaline phosphatase, and a decrease in the content of calcium and phosphate in bone tissue. Thus, sufficient vitamin D bioavailability was confirmed to be critical for effective bone remodeling in primary and secondary osteoporosis.
