Résumé

Iron is an essential nutrient for all living organisms. Both iron deficiency and excess can be harmful. Bone, a highly metabolic active organ, is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in iron levels. In this study, we investigated the effects of dietary iron overload on bone homeostasis with a specific focus on two frequently utilized mouse strains: 129/Sv and C57BL/6J. Our findings revealed that after 6 weeks on an iron-rich diet, 129/Sv mice exhibited a decrease in trabecular and cortical bone density in both vertebral and femoral bones, which was linked to reduced bone turnover. In contrast, there was no evidence of bone changes associated with iron overload in age-matched C57BL/6J mice. Interestingly, 129/Sv mice exposed to an iron-rich diet during their prenatal development were protected from iron-induced bone loss, suggesting the presence of potential adaptive mechanisms. Overall, our study underscores the critical role of genetic background in modulating the effects of iron overload on bone health. This should be considered when studying effects of iron on bone.
