Abstract

Materials and methods: The study involved 18 male Wistar rats, they were divided into three groups: Group I (n=6; control group), Group II (n=6; was administrated 7.5 mg/kg/ dexamethasone intra muscular for 2 months served as a model of osteoporosis [op]), Group III (n=6;was administered 7.5 mg/kg/ dexamethasone intra muscular for 2month and treated orally with 8mg/kg of simvastatin).After 8 weeks, serum acid phosphatase was determined for the three group. Results: The levels of serum acid phosphatase were notably elevated in the [op] group. Administration of simvastatin produced a significant decrease in the levels of serum acid phosphatase. Conclusion: simvastatin was able to decrease the rate of bone resorption in an animal model of osteoporosis induced by dexamethasone.
