The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of voluntary exercise on osteoinductive activity in rat bone. Sprague-Dawley male and female rats were allowed to exercise freely by running on a treadmill or kept as controls without exercise for 53 days. Decalcified humeral diaphyses from experimental and control rats were implanted intraperitonealy into host rats and harvested after 33 days. A significant increase in bone formation was confirmed in the implanted bone matrices from the running group in comparison with those from control animals by soft X-ray photography and determination of alkaline phosphatase activity and mineral content. Alkaline phosphatase activity in bone and serum was increased by exercise in both male and female animals. The results suggest that osteoinductive activity in the bone was probably due to increased levels of bone morphogenetic protein following voluntary exercise.
