The present invention discloses a novel method for
model organism zebrafish evaluation of
osteoporosis prevention treatment
drug effects. The method includes selecting
zebrafish as a model animal, grouping and designing experiments by an optimized experimental grouping method, administering by using a preferable
drug administration method, using a preferable method to dye
zebrafish bones with
alizarin red, capturing images by intuitive
microscopic observation, and analyzing bone dyed areas to reflect the amount of bone mineralization by using a preferable
image analysis software. The entire experimental method is high in
operability, can objectively reflect the effects of the
drug in zebrafish
in vivo on
bone mass generation, and can quickly and accurately evaluate the effects of compounds and complex ingredients of
traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis. The method can overcome the shortcomings that ordinary in-vitro
cell experiments are rigor in experimental conditions and difficult to reflect body effect comprehensive results; and overcomes shortcomings that
mammal in-vivo experiments are time-consuming, large amount of drug are tested, and labor intensity is high. The method is high in accuracy of experimental results, the experimental method is high in
repeatability, the required drug to be tested is relatively less, the cost is low, labor intensity is low, application range is wide, the experimental studies can be conducted in batch, and the working efficiency is high.
