Popis: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microarchitecture, composition and mechanical properties of cortical bone of rats with type I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) and submitted to insulin therapy (IT). Methods: Thirty rats were divided into three groups (n=10): non-diabetic, diabetic and diabetic+insulin. TIDM was induced by intravenous injection of streptozotocin. In diabetic+insulin group, 4IU insulin was administered twice per day (1I U at 7 am and 3I U at 7 pm). The animals were euthanized five weeks after TIDM induction; the tibiae were removed and submitted to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT, 8 μm), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and dynamic microhardness indentation. Results: Micro-CT analysis showed that diabetic group had lower bone surface/tissue volume ratio (BS/BV) (p=0.018), cortical thickness (Ct.Th) (p Conclusion: TIDM negatively affects bone microarchitecture, collagen maturation, mineralization and bone microhardness. Moreover, insulin minimized the effect of TIDM on cortical thickness and organic/mineral matrix.
