Background: This longitudinal study examined the early effects of type 1 diabetes on bone mechanical properties and metabolic markers in mature rats, focusing on the natural progression of diabetes-induced changes without external treatments. Methods: Forty-eight 8-month-old male Wistar rats were divided into two groups, with one group receiving a single dose of streptozotocin (STZ, 60 mg/kg). Assessments were performed 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-administration, including serum biochemical analyses, bone marker assessments, and mechanical bone tests. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA to evaluate the impact of time and treatment. Results: At 2 weeks, diabetic rats showed increased fasting blood glucose (p < 0.001), decreased insulin levels (p = 0.03), and changes in HOMA markers (p < 0.001), liver enzymes (p < 0.001), inflammatory markers (p < 0.001), and bone metabolism markers (osteocalcin (p < 0.001), OPG (p = 0.006), RANKL (p < 0.001), and OPG/RANKL ratio (p < 0.001)), with initial alterations in bone geometry. By week 4, decreased body weight in the diabetic group (p < 0.001) led to further changes in bone geometry and initial differences in mechanical properties. At 8 weeks, significant declines in body (p < 0.001) and bone (p < 0.001) weights were observed, along with further deterioration in bone geometry and mechanical properties. Conclusions: The study highlights the significant impact of STZ-induced diabetes on bone health as early as two weeks post-STZ administration, with marked temporal changes in biochemical markers and mechanical properties.
