Abstract: | The objective of this study was to establish the solution method of GHRPS, the synthetic oligopeptides Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-NH2, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OH, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-NH2, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-NH2, and Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-OH, to verify their effect on osteoporosis. Male ICR mice (20+/-2 g) were used. The intramuscular injection dose of 6.3 mg/kg prednisone induced a significant decrease of body and femur weight of the animals. The subcutaneous injection dose of 18 microg/kg synthetic peptide was not effective to prevent the decrease of body and femur weight of the animals. The subcutaneous injection dose of 6.3 mg/kg prednisone elicited a decrease in content of femur calcium and in the level of serum calcium of the animals. The subcutaneous injection dose of 18 microg/kg Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-NH2, or Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH, or Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-NH2 significantly increased the content of femur calcium and decreased the level of serum calcium of the animals. It was also observed that the subcutaneous injection dose of 18 microg/kg Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Gly-OH, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OH, Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-NH2 significantly increased the content of femur phosphorous and decreased the activity of ALP of the animals. |
