Histological effect of bisphosphonate, vitamin D and olive oil on glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis [GIO] in albino rat

ABSTRACT

Background: Previous studies demonstrated that the prevalence of osteoporosis was 4% in women aged 50 to 59 years compared to 44% in women aged 80 years and older. Osteoporosis may be primary or secondary. Glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis [GIO] is considered among the most common causes of secondary osteoporosis. The present study aimed to assess if vitamin D and olive oil could be useful in the treatment of GIO as bisphosphonate
