In the first experiment, we compared the effects of ovariectomy and 17\u03b2-estradiol (E2) therapy on calcium absorption in C3H\/HeJ (C3H) and C57BL\/6J (C57BL) mice, which have high and low peak bone mass, respectively. For each strain of mice, three groups were studied: sham operated, ovariectomized, (OVX), and OVX + E2 (60 \u03bcg\/kg of body weight [bw]\/day). Therapy was continued for 35 days and calcium absorption measured. In the C3H mice, ovariectomy caused an increase in fecal calcium (17.6%), and a decrease in the amount (12.8%) and percentage (12.5%) of calcium absorbed. The decrease was prevented by E2 therapy, but the differences in the calcium absorption parameters among the groups were not statistically significant. In contrast, in the C57BL mice, ovariectomy caused a marked increase in fecal calcium (84.5%, p &amp;lt; 0.01), and a marked decrease in the amount (55%, p &amp;lt; 0.01) and percentage (34.8%, p &amp;lt; 0.001) of calcium absorbed, and the decrease in the percentage of calcium absorbed was partially prevented by E2 therapy (p &amp;lt; 0.05). In experiment 2, a dose-response study of the effects of E2 therapy on calcium absorption in OVX C57BL mice was carried out. Five groups of mice were studied: Group 1, sham operated; Group 2, OVX; Group 3, OVX + 60 \u03bcg of E2\/kg of bw\/day; Group 4, OVX + 120 \u03bcg of E2\/kg of bw\/day; Group 5, OVX + 240 \u03bcg of E2\/kg of bw\/day. Therapy was continued for 28 days and calcium absorption measured. Ovariectomy caused a marked increase in fecal calcium (50%, p &amp;lt; 0.0001) and urinary calcium (31%, p &amp;lt; 0.0001) and a marked decrease in calcium absorption (44.9%, p &amp;lt; 0.0001), and these changes were prevented by E2 therapy. The highest level of calcium absorption (109%, p &amp;lt; 0.0001, vs. OVX) was observed in the 120 \u03bcg of E2 group. Ovariectomy and E2 slightly increased plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) levels but there was no significant correlation between 1,25(OH)2D levels and calcium absorption. The findings in the C57BL mice suggest that estrogen is a physiological regulator of calcium absorption in this strain of mice. Furthermore, these findings share many characteristics with intestinal calcium malabsorption and its reversal by estrogen therapy in hypoestrogenic women. We propose that the OVX C57BL mice warrants further characterization as a potential animal model for investigating issues related to calcium malabsorption in postmenopausal women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.1999.14.4.593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,27]],"date-time":"2006-04-27T01:11:44Z","timestamp":1146100304000},"page":"593-601","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Ovariectomized
