Osteoporosis is a common clinical complication of post-menopausal women and the
elderly and can significantly complicate the severity of bone fragility. The purpose of this study
is to investigate how cod bone gelatin administration influences trabecular biomechanical prop-
erties after ovariectomy. Both biomechanical properties and trabecular microarchitectures were
evaluated for cancellous bone samples from female ovariectomized rats, which were either sham-
operated or treated with marine peptide (0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 g/kg body weight) for 90 days. The
results have confirmed that cod bone gelatin treatment is effective in the prevention of mechanical
property loss by preserving bone mass and trabecular architecture.
