Thyroid-stimulating hormone exerts both antiresorptive and anabolic effects on bone remodeling in aged ovariectomized rats and thyroid stimulating hormone-receptor null mice, supported by clinical results demonstrating that low thyroid-stimulating hormone level is associated with increased bone loss. To further explore the effect of thyroid-stimulating hormone on bone metabolism we introduced here a rat model with removed thyroid and parathyroid glands to obtain low serum concentrations of thyroid and parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and 1,25(OH)(2)D-3. Surgery resulted in hypocalcemia, low parathyroid and thyroid hormone, 1,25(OH)(2)D-3, C-telopeptide, and osteocalcin serum level. Intermittent administration of thyroid-stimulating hormone resulted in a further decrease of serum calcium and decreased level of serum C-telopeptide due to the suppression of bone resorption, while in the same animals osteocalcin in serum was higher indicating an increased bone formation rate. A combination of thyroid-stimulating hormone and 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 significantly increased the serum Ca2+, C-telopeptide and serum osteocalcin values. MicroCT analyses of the distal femur and proximal tibia showed that rats treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 alone or in a combination with thyroid-stimulating hormone had an increased trabecular bone volume, and enhanced trabecular bone quality. Biomechanical testing of the trabecular bone showed an increased maximal load for 105% and 235%, respectively, in rats treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 alone, or in a combination with thyroid-stimulating hormone. We suggest that thyroid-stimulating hormone independently of calciotropic hormones suppressed bone resorption and stimulated bone formation, while in combination with 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 acted synergistically on bone formation resulting in an increased bone volume.
