Changes of resistance parameters of femoral bone in adult female rats after application of zoladex and vincristin

Ann Univ Mariae Curie Sklodowska Med. 2002;57(2):426-30.

Abstract

The study consisted in testing the influence of vincristin and zoladex on mechanical resistance of the femur bone in adult female rats. Vincristin was administered intraperitoneally and zoladex--subcutaneously. The experiments imply that in the group of animals receiving vincristin the bone resistance decreased by 6.4% as compared to the control group, and in the group of animals receiving zoladex--by 14.3%.
