Chronic alcohol consumption may be deleterious for bone tissue depending on the amount of ethanol consumed, whereas physical activity has positive effects on bone. This study was designed to analyze the effects of moderate alcohol consumption on bone in trained rats. 48 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control (C), alcohol (A), exercise (E) and alcohol + exercise (AE). A and AE groups drank a solution composed of water and ethanol. E and AE groups were trained for 2 months (treadmill: 40 min/day, 5 times/week). Body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry and microarchitectural parameters using micro-computed tomography. Serum osteocalcin and CTx were determined by ELISA assays. The body weight and lean mass gain were lower in group A, while the fat mass gain was lower in exercised groups. BMD and BMC were higher with alcohol after body weight adjustment. Trabecular thickness was significantly higher in AE and A groups compared to C and E; cross-sectional area was larger in A and C groups compared to AE and E. CTx levels were higher in A compared to C and in AE and E versus C and A. Osteocalcin levels were significantly greater in AE and E groups versus C and A. In conclusion, the light to moderate alcohol consumption over a short period increased the trabecular thickness, BMC and BMD in A and AE groups. However, we observed alterations in bone remodeling and body composition with alcohol, at the end of the protocol, which did not appear when alcohol was combined to exercise. |
