In view of strengthening the role of environmental factors in causing bone tissue (BT) pathology, topical study of the effect of nitrite on bone metabolism was presented. Nitrite intoxication (1/10 LD50 sodium nitrite) was modeled on the white male rats (1-st and 2-nd group of animals) for 10 days, and then the animals of group 2 were administered to correct of artichoke extract (EA). Biopsy specimens (blood, thigh bones) were performed in 1-, 14- and 28-days after the administraion of toxicant. In blood plasma markers of bone metabolism were determined, in bone ash — Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu and Cd content, femur mineral density (BMD) — by densitometry. The results were compared with intact animals.
Under the administration of nitrite-ions in rats there was a change in the rate of phosphorus-calcium metabolism: the concentration of Ca2+ and phosphate increased by 82%; Mg decreased by 44,5–55,4 %; alcaline phosphatase activity decreased by 2,6 times, and ACP increased by 1,9 times. This rate of catabolism of collagen caused the concentration of hydroxyproline to increase by 13,5 %, parathyroid hormone level increased by 8,9 % and calcitonin decreased by 6,2 times. Balance index of processes of osteosynthesis and resorption — index ALP/ACP decreased by 3,13 times. Bioelementry composition of BT infected animals changed as follows: reduced content of Ca by 14,4–26,9 %, Zn by 20,6–23,6 %, Cu — by 5,25 times, and Mg increased by 26,0 % to 1-st day, and then reduced to that of intact. Gradual increase of the amounts of heavy metal Cd (1,3–2,1 times) and reduced BMD (20,5–28,3 %) were observed.
On the background of EA using the tendency to normalize the concentration of Ca, Mg, hydroxyproline, PTH, calcitonin and the index ALP/ACP were observed. However, the level of phosphate still remains slightly higher (16,5–20,5 %). Content of osteotropic bioelements by the end of observation were not significantly different from the these paramethes in the rats of control group and Cd reduced by 35.7 %. It was found the significantly increase of BMD.
