Objective To observe the changes of abdominal fat tissue in ovariectomized beagle dogs, and to explore the key factors that influence the metabolism of lipid and bone through the measurement and analysis of serum indexes. Methods Six mature female beagle dogs were ovariectomized. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and MR mDixon-quant examinations, respectively, were used to determine the abdominal fat area, BMD of the lumbar vertebrae, and the percentage of bone marrow fat content on pre-surgery, 4, 6, and 10 months post-surgery. Serum biochemical indexes were also measured. The relationship and change trend at different times were compared. Results The VFA, SFA, TFA increased in 6 and 10 months post-surgery (P<0.05). The average growth rate of VFA in10-month post-surgery was 84.39%, and it was the highest among the three indexes. The post-surgery BMD did not decrease. Weight, BMD, LP, VFA, HDL were correlated with SFA. SFA, weight, LDL, and VFN were correlated with BMD. Conclusion This model can be used to simulate and study fat distribution in menopausal women. However, BMD does not decline in a short term after operation. There is interaction between the metabolism of lipid and bone. |
