Abstract：
:Low muscle strength is observed during the peri-and postmenopausal periods, when the secretion of ovarian hormones is drastically reduced. It is also a predictive of adverse health events as well as incident mobility limitation and disability. The objective of the present study is to study the biochemical and the histological changes in the skeletal muscle of premature menopause-induced rats and the possible protective role of L-carnitine. Ovariectomized (OVX) rats were gavaged with L-carnitine (100 mg/kg) daily for 60 days starting from the second post-operative day. Serum levels of estradiol and markers of skeletal muscle damage (creatine kinase and lactic dehydrogenase activities) were determined. Light and electron microscopic study of the quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM) specimens were done. OVX rats showed significant decrease in the serum estradiol level with significant increase the markers for skeletal muscle damage. Histopathological examination of the QFM showed degenerated myofibers, apoptotic changes and compensatory hypertrophy. Degenerated mitochondria, multiple lysosomes and lipid droplets among the damaged myofibrils were also noticed. L-carnitine administration to the OVX rats resulted in non-significant change in the serum estradiol level with significant attenuation of skeletal muscle damage either biochemically or histopathologically. In conclusion, L-carnitine administration recovered muscle degeneration after ovariectomy. This finding suggested that L-carnitine could be recommended in the management of post-menopausal myopathy.
