In this study, we investigated corticosteroid-associated bone loss at metaphysis of femoral head using an established SAON rabbit model [14] and potential effects of Src siRNA for prevention of SAOP. This study investigated the bone loss induced by pulsed LPS and MPS using an established SAON rabbit model and tested the therapeutic potential of Src siRNA, a bone anabolic and anti-resorption agent for prevention of corticosteroid associated osteoporosis (SAOP). The loss of trabecular bone at metaphysis of femoral head after pulsed LPS and MPS treatment was reversed by Src siRNA administration in the present study, with significantly better micro-CT indices, including BMD, BV/TV, Tb. Th and Conn. ./cache/cord-255158-cxt824rp.txt ./txt/cord-255158-cxt824rp.txt
