The objective of this study was to analyze whether there are differences in the effect of disuse and estrogen deficiency on trabecular and cortical bone tissue, and whether these effects influence the quality of bone tissue increasing its fragility. For this study, 30 Wistar rats with 19 weeks old, were divided into groups: control (CON), hindlimb unloading (HLU) and ovariectomy (OVX). In vivo analysis of bone density (DXA) from femurs and tibias and plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, TRAP (spectrophotometry) and E2 (ELISA) were performed at the beginning and end of the experiment, and 19 age 27 weeks, respectively. In the 27th week, the femur and tibia were disjointed and stored to assess the microstructure of trabecular and cortical bone (microcomputed tomography) and biomechanical properties of the femoral neck and femoral shaft and tibial (mechanical tests). The HLU group showed a decrease in plasma calcium concentration and total alkaline phosphatase activity, decreased femoral BMAD with increased cortical porosity and decrease in bone strength, however, there were no such changes in the tibia. The OVX group showed a decrease in plasma concentrations of calcium, decreased femoral BMAD, trabecular deterioration in the femur and tibia, with further deterioration in the tibial trabecular bone, with no change in bone strength in both bones. These results demonstrate that although the HLU and OVX group showed changes in bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture, we can conclude that the in disuse determined higher cortical tissue loss and bone strength relative to estrogen deficiency. Therefore, the analysis of the cortical tissue structure, such as cortical porosity can be prevalent to predict fracture risk
