In studies on a functionally isolated avian[rooster]bone preparation to which external loads could be applied in vivo, the following information was determined. Removal of load-bearing resulted in substantial remodeling endosteally, intracortically, and, to a lesser extent, periosteally. Since the balance of this remodeling was negative, bone mass declined. Functional load-bearing prevents a remodeling process that would otherwise lead to disuse osteoporosis. Four consecutive cycles a day of an externally applied loading regimen that engendered physiological strain magnitudes, but an altered strain distribution prevented remodeling and was thus associated with no change in bone mass. A small exposure to, or the 1st effect of, a suitable dynamic strain regimen apepars to be sufficient to prevent the negatively balanced remodeling that is responsible for disuse osteoporosis. Thirty-six 0.5-Hz cycles/day of the same load regimen also prevented intracortical resorption but was associated with substantial periosteal and endosteal new-bone formation. Over a 6-wk period, bone-mineral content increased to between 133 and 143% of the original value. Physiological levels of strain imposed with an abnormal strain distribution can produce an osteogenic stimulus that is capable of increasing bone mass. Neither the size nor the character of the bone changes that we observed were affected by any additional increase in the number of load cycles from 36 to 1800.
