Depression induced by chronic mild stress (CMS) reduced bone mass in ovariectomized (OVX) rats, and maternal separation (MS) during early life aggravated depression-induced bone mass destruction. N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been shown to improve bone mass and depression, but the bone-protecting effects of n-3 PUFA were unclear in CMS+MS-induced depression models. The purpose of this study was to determine whether n-3 PUFA improved CMS+MS-induced postmenopausal bone loss via its antidepressant-like action. Rats were fed diets containing 0% of total energy intake (en %) of n-3 PUFA during lifetime or 1 en % n-3 PUFA during pre-weaning or post-weaning periods, or their entire lifetimes and were allocated to CMS or CMS+MS groups after OVX. Lifetime supply of n-3 PUFA enhanced bone mass and microarchitecture, and expression of runt-related transcription factor 2, while decreasing blood levels of amino-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type 1 collagen and the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa Β ligand/osteoprotegerin, activating transcription factor 4, and adrenergic receptor β2. Lifetime supply of n-3 PUFA decreased levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone and the expression of corticotropin-releasing factor in the brain but increased expression of the glucocorticoid receptor, serotonin-2C receptor, cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), and calmodulin kinase IV and serotonin levels. Supply of n-3 PUFA during the pre-and post-weaning periods had beneficial effects on the brain but not on the bones. Lifetime supply of n-3 PUFA ameliorated bone loss induced by chronic stress by regulating hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity and serotonin-CREB signaling.
