Abstract
Axial loading in rodents provides a controlled setting for mechanical loading, because load and subsequent strain, frequency, number of cycles and rest insertion between cycles, are precisely defined. These methodological aspects as well as factors, such as ovariectomy, aging, and disuse may affect the outcome of the loading test, including bone mass, structure, and bone mineral density. This review aims to overview methodological aspects and modifying factors in axial loading on bone outcomes. A systematic literature search was performed in bibliographic databases until December 2021, which resulted in 2183 articles. A total of 144 articles were selected for this review: 23 rat studies, 74 mouse studies, and 47 knock out (KO) mouse studies. Results indicated that peak load, frequency, and number of loading cycles mainly affected the outcomes of bone mass, structure, and density in both rat and mouse studies. It is crucial to consider methodological parameters and modifying factors such as age, sex-steroid deficiency, and disuse in loading protocols for the prediction of loading-related bone outcomes.
