Abstract

ObjectiveAfter tubal ligation, normal bone mass in the presence of gonadal deficit has been reported. These incongruent results motivated us to examine the topic.Study designBone mass was assessed by densitometry and ultrasonography 60 days after surgery on 100-day-old female Wistar rats. Fifteen Wistar rats with uterine horn ligation (TL) were compared with 15 unoperated, 15 with a sham uterine horn ligation (Sham-TL), and 15 ovariectomized (OVX), using ANOVA and a correlation test to determine the relations between results.ResultsFemoral and vertebral bone mass were significantly lower in the OVX y TL groups than in unoperated and controls groups (P<0.0001).ConclusionsOur study revealed significantly lower axial and peripheral bone mass in rats with uterine horn ligation.
