Abstract: To examine whether rat osteoportic model was established quickly by high protein and low calcium diets, Forty female Wistar rats (3 weeks old)were randomly divided into 5 Groups and fed with diets formulated according to AO AC for twenty weeks. The contents of protein and calcium in 5 Groups were 18%,1%;8%, 0.025%;8%;1%; 27%,0.025%;and27%,1% respectively. The results showed that the content of bone calcium in Group 2 and Group 4 was obviously decreased compared with that of Group 1 (P<0. 001), the BMD and hending stress resistance of femur was also decreased (P<0.01), and the trabecular area of lumbar and tibia was increased. In compared with Group 1, The body weight gain of Group 2 was obviously decreased (P <0. 001) and estradion in serum was decreased (P<0.05). The results suggested that the Rat osteoportic model established by high protein and low calcium diets for twenty weeks was successful.
