Despite a large body of literature, little is known about the mechanisms by which ovariectomy specifically affects cortical bone. In particular, the susceptibility of the skeleton of the non-human primate to deprivation of ovarian-derived sex steroid hormones is incompletely understood. The usefulness of the macaque as a model for studies in skeletal biology has been demonstrated (Williams and Bowden, 1984; Longcope et al., 1989; Jayo et al., 1990; Mann et al., 1990) however these largely represent effects on trabecular rather than cortical bone dynamics. Non-human primates are particularly useful because of their taxonomic affinities to humans. In this way, for example, the use of the femur of the cynomolgus monkey can closely represent the properties inherent to human weight-bearing cortical bone which contrasts to other models such as the rat (Jee et al., 1990; Kalu, 1991; Danielsen et al., 1992) and the dog (Snow et al., 1984; Faugere et al., 1990) which have significant shortcomings in terms of growth properties, endocrinology, and cortical bone tissue morphology. Attempts at analyzing cortical bone dynamics in the macaque in order to understand the processes of bone remodeling at the tissue level in these animals are scarce (Burr, 1980, Schaffler and Burr, 1984, Przybeck, 1985; Burr et al., 1989; Burr, 1992). These studies, however, are in agreement that intracortical bone turnover in macaques is quite low, and have suggested that these primates might be ideal models for human skeletal diseases which demonstrate low turnover characteristics.The young cynomolgus (M fmcicukzris) monkey has a reproductive physiology that closely resembles that of the human female in terms of the ovarian derived sex-steroid hormone milieu, particularly estradiol and progesterone. Of additional importance is that the macaque shares a pattern of similar periodicity and hormonal surges with the cycling human female (Jewett et al., 1972; Bourget et al., 1988; Mann et al., 1990).
