D
iet induced obesity is a major health problem in developed and developing countries and affects not only cardiovascular but
also skeletal health. Lipids have a direct reducing impact on bone mineral density by inhibiting osteoblastic differentiation
and enhancing osteoclast differentiation. Conversely, vitamin D or exercise enhances the bone mineral microarchitecture through
activating the osteoblasts activity and increasing the deposition of calcium. The effect of vitamin D or exercise on bone mineral
density during high fat feeding was studied in male and female C57Bl/6J mice by micro-computed tomography. Experimental mice
received a high fat high sugar diet with additional vitamin D supplement or had access to voluntary exercise. After five weeks, they
were compared to mice on high fat high sugar diet. We find that vitamin D supplementation or additional exercise normalize within
five weeks the bone mineral density by correcting the cortex and trabeculae segmentations. We conclude that these two intervention
modes may be of value to obese persons who are in the process of correcting their dietary habits.
