Tobacco smoking has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis and early onset of menopause in women smokers. We measured various biomechanical properties of femurs and tibiae obtained from smoke-exposed and control mice to determine cigarette smoke influences on bone mass, structure, and strength. Growing female C57BL mice were exposed to sidestream cigarette smoke in a whole-body exposure chamber, set at 30 +/- 2 mg smoke particulates/m(3) for 4 hours/day and 5 days/week for 12 consecutive weeks. Elevated levels of urinary cotinine and pulmonary ethoxyresorufin deethylase activity in smoke-exposed mice confirmed their effective exposure to cigarette smoke. There were no differences in body weight and physical size (length, medial-lateral and anterior-posterior widths, midshaft cortical area and thickness) of femurs and tibiae between smoke-exposed and control mice. The femoral mid-shaft yield load, stiffness, yield stress, and modulus were, respectively 8%, 13%, 10%, and 14% lower (P < 0.05) in smoke-exposed compared to control mice. The ultimate load and stress in mid-shaft femurs showed decreasing trends (P < 0.1) in smoke-exposed mice. In the femoral neck, the ultimate load and stiffness were 9% and 12% lower (P < 0.05) in smoke-exposed mice, respectively. Further, the ash-to-dry bone weight ratio was smaller (similar to 6%, P < 0.05), and micro-computed tomographic scanning of distal femoral bone volume/total volume (%) and trabecular thickness showed decreasing trends in smoke-exposed mice compared to the control group. We conclude that exposure to tobacco smoke deteriorates some of the biomechanical properties of bone in growing female mice.
