Osteoporosis is a growing public health problem. As allies have for preventing physical activity, especially resistance training (RT) and hormone replacement. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Raloxifene (RLX) and RT in bone metabolism of rats on their aging period. Wistar rats (14–18 months), sham or ovariectomized (OVX) were treated with RLX (1 mg/kg per day) or saline by gavage and subjected to RT or not. The animals were subjected to RT-oriented pract...

There is a growing body of evidence indicating the important role of the neonatal steroid milieu in programming sexually dimorphic pattern in various physiological systems. We tested the hypothesis that abnormal exposure to steroid hormones within a critical developmental period elicits permanent changes on tooth eruption, enamel mineralization, and leptin and corticosterone concentrations in adulthood. Newborn Wistar rats were divided into four groups, two male groups and two...
