Uzunçakmak, Sevgi Karabulut
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of boron varieties on bone health. For this purpose, twenty-four wistar rats were used. Animals were separated into four groups. The first group was the control group and was treated with nothing. The other three groups were given 3mg/kg boric acid (BA), calcium fructoborate (CaFB) and potassium boron citrate (KBCi) orally by gavage for three weeks. TNF-α, IL1-β, total oxidant level (TOS), total antioxidant level (TAS), osteopontin and osteocalcin levels were measured in serum and bone tissues of animals by ELIZA method. In the results of the study, no significant difference was observed in serum and bone tissue TNF-α and IL-1β levels between the control group and the groups that were treated with boron varieties were applied (p>0.05). Similarly, serum and bone TOS levels did not differ significantly between the control and other groups (p>0.05). However, the serum TAS level increased significantly with the application of BA, CaFB and KBCi in both serum and bone tissue compared to the control (p<0.0001). Serum osteopontin and osteocalcin levels were also significantly increased with the application of BA, CaFB and KBCi, especially in bone tissue, compared to the control group (p<0.0001). The effects of BA, CaFB, and KBCi on bone health have been compared with this study, firstly. This study is promising as a preliminary study for more comprehensive studies to be carried out in order to use boron varieties such as BA, CaFB and KBCi more widely in the future in order to improve bone health, prevent bone diseases or cope with increased stress due to various factors
