This study was to investigate interaction between dietary protein and Ca levels in Ca metabolism and renal function in osteporosis rats. Five week-old female rats were fed a low Ca diet for 4 weeks after ovariectomy operation to establish rat models of osteoporosis. The ovariectomized osteoporosis rats were divided into six groups and were fed experimental diets which contained two levels of protein, normal (20%) and high(40%) , and three levels of Ca, low (0.06%), normal (0.47%) and high(0.94%) for 4 weeks , respectively. The ovaricetmized rat model of osteoporosis showed a remarkable decrease in serum Ca concentration, fresh weight and breaking force of femur, Ca and P contents of femur, and apparent absorption and retention of Ca. The supplementations of Ca and P contents of femur, and apparent absorption and retention of Ca. The supplementations of Ca at the dietary levels of normal and high levels significantly enhanced Ca bioavailability shown in the above experimental rat models of osteoporosis, regardless of dietary protein levels ; whereas the rats which were fed the low Ca diet demonstrated rather a decrease in its bioavailability. Irrespectively of the dietary Ca levels, the rats which were fed high protein diet exhibited an increase in kidney weight, urinary Ca, volume and hydroxyproline, and glomerular filtration ratio(GFR). The results show that dietary protein and calcium levels affect the renal function and Ca metabolism independently, while the interaction between protein and calcium have not been shown.

Objectives : Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. It has become a major problem of senior citizens. The purpose of this study is to experiment the effect of water extract of Forsythiae Fructus (wFF) on osteoclast differentiation; and the other purpose is to examine the effect of wFF on osteoporosis in ovariectomized rat. Methods : To investigate the effect of wFF on osteoclast differentiation and activity, RAW 264.7 cells were used. The number of TRAP positive cell, TRAP activity, pit area, mRNA expression of makers (RANK, TRAP, CA II, CTK, MMP-9, NFATc1, c-Fos), protein expression of makers (NFATc1, c-Fos) were investigated. For in vivo study, 40 female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were induced osteoporosis by ovariectomy (OVX) and then tested for anti-osteoporosis effect by administration of wFF. Results : wFF suppressed osteoclatogenesis, TRAP activity and pit area formation. Moreover, wFF decreased the expression of master differentiation factors (NFATc1, c-Fos) and also reduced the osteoclastogenesis-related markers (TRAP, CA II, CTK, MMP-9). These suggest that wFF inhibit osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorption. In the OVX rat model, wFF inhibited decreasing of BMD and trabecular area. Conclusions : Forsythiae Fructus should be effective for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

Objectives: In this study, the author aimed to evaluate the effect of BuOH fraction(YK) from Cinnamomum loureirii on osteoblast proliferation in murine rat calvarial cells. Methods: The osteoblast separated from murine calvariae was cultivated for 10 days and evaluated the cell function. After the addition of YK on the culture medium, we determined the effect of YK on the cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, apoptosis of the cultivated osteoblast, protein synthesis and collagen synthesis. Results: YK increased the proliferation of rat calvarial osteoblast. YK increased ALP activity of rat calvarial osteoblast. YK did not change the survival rate of rat calvarial osteoblast. YK increased protein synthesis of rat calvarial osteoblast. YK increased collagen synthesis of rat calvarial osteoblast. Conclusions: This study suggests that YK might improve the osteoporosis resulted from augumentation of osteoblast proliferation.

Methods: The osteoblast separated from rat fetus calvariae was cultivated for 6~21 days and evaluated the cell function. After the addition of GLE on the culture medium, we determined the effect of GLE on the cell viability, cell proliferation, bone matrix protein synthesis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, collagen synthesis and calcified nodule formation of the cultivated osteoblast. Results: GLE did not change the survival rate of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased the proliferation of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased ALP activity of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased bone matrix protein synthesis of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE increased collagen synthesis of rat calvarial osteoblast. GLE slightly affected calcified nodule formation of rat calvarial osteoblast. Conclusions: This study suggests that Ganoderma lucidum might improve the osteoporosis resulted from augmentation of osteoblast proliferation.

Purpose: Osteoporosis that occurred after menopause is one of the most common metabolic disease. and it is that bone mass significant decrease in comparison with normal people. Its symptoms are fracture, decrease of height, etc. The purpose of this study is to examine what are the effects of the Gamisoyosan on the aged ovariectomized rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods: 24 female rats were ovariectomized and divided into normal group(normal), ovariectomized group(control), and treated with Gamisoyosan group(treated). During 8 weeks we dosed D.W to sham and control group, and dosed Gamisoyosan(105 mg/100 g) to experimental group. After 8 weeks we sacrificed rats and measured the body weight, albumin, P, Calcium, ALP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, AST, ALT, T4, estradiol, the femur weight, the tibia ash weight, trabecular bone area, trabecular thickness, osteoclast number. Results: The level of serum albumin, calcium, AST, ALT, estradiol in Gamisoyosan group showed significant increase in comparison with control group. The level of serum triglyceride in Gamisoyosan group showed significant decrease in comparison with control group. Trabecular bone area and osteoclast number in Gamisoyosan group showed significant increase in comparison with control group. Conclusions: Reviewing these experimental results, Gamisoyosan has shown to activate osteogenesis and prevent bone resorption, and it should show efficacy on prevention and improvement of osteoporosis after menopause.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of HCB on the bone mass and its related factors in estrogen-deficient animal model. The model rats of osteoporosis showed a significant decrease in bone density, bone ash density, calcium content of femur bone. At the 14th day after ovariectomy-surgery, rats were administered with HCB, extract of Houyttnia cordata, per orally, and continued for 10 weeks. And osteoporosis related parameters were determined to investigate the effect of HCB. Osteoporotic rats showed lower serum estrogen level, higher body weight than normal rats, and showed atrophy of uterine horns.
