Popis: Abstract Background Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is associated with an increased risk of fractures and impaired bone microstructure. Understanding the metabolic changes accompanying bone deterioration in AGHD might provide insights into mechanisms behind molecular changes and develop new biomarkers or nutritional strategies for bone destruction. Our study aimed to investigate the association between altered metabolite patterns and impaired bone microstructure in adult rats with growth hormone deficiency. Methods Thirty seven-week-aged adult Lewis dwarf homozygous (dw/dw) rats (five females and five males), and adult Lewis dwarf heterozygous (dw/ +) rats (five females and five males) rats were compared. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) was used to examine the bone's microstructure. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used to quantify the histological characteristics. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry untargeted serum metabolomic analysis was applied in the study. ELISA was used to measure serum bone turnover markers and IGF-1 levels. Results Adult dw/dw rats exhibited great reductions in trabecular volume bone density (Tb.vBMD), bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), and cortical thickness (Ct. Th) compared with adult dw/ + rats (all p values
