초록

To examine the bone-protective effects of Puerariae Radix (PR) in an estrogen-deficient animal model, we treated ovariectomized rats with PR at a dose of 10.0 mg/kg 3 times a week for 16 weeks. Our results showed that PR increased mineral content and density of the trabecular bone at the neck of the left femur. Moreover, biochemical data indicated that PR had a positive effect on bone turnover. No endometrial hyperplasia was detected in the PR group. The present data suggest that PR should be considered for use in the treatment of bone loss in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
