Bone mass and quality in humans are controlled by numerous genetic and environmental factors that are not fully understood. Increasing evidence has indicated that maternal metabolic dysregulation impairs multiple physiological processes in the adult offspring, but a similar effect on bone health is yet to be established. Here, we have analyzed the bones of first-generation offspring from murine dams that present metabolic syndrome due to a high-fat and high-sugar (HF/HS) diet. Micro-CT analyses show that the long bones of HF/HS offspring possess lower cortical bone mass and weaker mechanical strength than normal, even though the trabecular bone is not affected. Histomorphometry and serum biochemistry indicate that both bone formation and resorption are diminished in the HF/HS offspring. In vitro, both osteoblast and osteoclast progenitors from the HF/HS offspring are deficient in differentiation, likely due to impairment of mitochondrial respiration. The study, therefore, identifies maternal metabolic health as an important environmental factor influencing bone volume and strength. (C) Endocrine Society 2020.
