The aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness on germinated Rhynchosia Volubilis for Female Bone Morphogenesis. For this purpose, experiments using germinated Rhynchosia Volubilis(GRV) according to germinating days were conducted to measure the polyphosphate contents and to examine the effects of the transcription activity of gene related to bone morphogenesis on the formation of bone in female. The quantitative analysis of the polyphosphate contents showed that 1 day geminated Rhynchosia Volubilis(GRV) group is treble better contents of polyphosphate than non-germinated Rhynchosia Volubilis, 2 day and 3 day GRV groups. The active of the COL1, OTN, MGP, BMP genes was less than the increase of the polyphosphate contents.

The aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness on germinated seed of Rhynchosia Volubilis for Female Bone Morphogenesis. For this purpose, We compared two methods. water extract and alcohol extract using germinated Rhynchosia Volubilis(GRV) according to germinating days were conducted to measure the polyphosphate contents and investigate HOS-TE85 propagation rate. Both water and alcohol extract two methods were not toxicant. And if not excessively treated, alcohol extract rate were more about $5{\sim}15$ times than water extract rate. So usually water extract were better than alcohol extract. but in case of osteoporosis, alcohol extract were effective.
