骨质疏松症(osteoporosis)是一种以骨量减少和骨组织微观结构退化为特征,骨的脆性增加,易发生骨折的全身性骨骼疾病。在骨质疏松症的研究中,根据研究目的,选择合适的动物模型尤为重要。各种动物模型都有其自身的特点和优势,各种造模方法也各有侧重,本文对此做一综述。
Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic disease characterized by loss of bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.
