Objective  To investigate the effect of collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin on the microstructure of osteoporosis model in ovariectomized rats, and to explore the feasibility of preventing and treating oste- oporosis. Methods  Sixty adult Wistar female rats, weighing (250±10) g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (12 rats each group): normal group (group A), osteoporosis model group (group B), osteoporosis model+collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin prevention group (group C), osteoporosis model+low concentration of collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin treatment group (group D), and osteoporosis model+high concentration of collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin treatment group (group E). The rats in groups B, C, D, and E were removed bilateral ovarian to establish osteoporosis model. The rats in group C were treated with stomach perfusion of the collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin (1.0 g/kg) from 4 weeks after operation for 6 weeks; and the rats in groups D and E were treated with stomach perfusion of the collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin (0.5, 1.0 g/kg respectively) at 6 weeks after operation for 6 weeks. The rats in groups A and B were given equal volume of normal saline at the same time after operation. At 24 hours after the last administration, the femoral gray value of rats in groups A and B were measured by X-ray film; HE staining was performed on the proximal tibial bone of the left side in 4 groups; the histopathological changes of the bone were observed and the trabecular number (TN), mean trabecular plate thickness (MTPT), mean trabecular plate spacing (MTPS), trabecular bone volume (TBV), mean bone cortical thickness (MBCT) were measured; immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expression levels of caltitonin receptor (CTR) and interleukin 1 (IL-1). Results  The femoral gray value of group B was significantly lower than that of group A (t=45.130, P=0.000), which indicated that the ovariectomized rat model was successfully prepared. Histological observation showed that TN, MTPS, TBV, and MBCT in groups A, C, and E were significantly different from those in group B (P<0.05). The histological parameters of bone tissue in group C were significantly different from those in groups D and E (P<0.05). TN, MTPS, TBV, and MBCT in group D were significantly different from those in group A (P<0.05); only MTPS in group E was significantly different from that in group A (P<0.05). MTPS, TBV, and MBCT in group E were significantly different from those in group D (P<0.05). The immunohistochemical staining showed that the levels of CTR and IL-1 in groups A, C, D, and E were lower than those in group B, in groups C and E were lower than in group D, showing significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion  Collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin can improve the bone microstructure of osteoporotic rats, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of CTR and IL-1 expression in bone tissue, but it has not been found to prevent osteoporosis.
