Epub 2016 Oct 18. PMID: 28105093 Abstract Title:  β-Caryophyllene promotes osteoblastic mineralization, and suppresses osteoclastogenesis and adipogenesis in mouse bone marrow cultures in vitro. Abstract:  Osteoporosis is induced by the reduction in bone mass through decreased osteoblastic osteogenesis and increased osteoclastic bone resorption, and it is associated with obesity and diabetes. Osteoblasts and adipocytes are derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The prevention of osteoporosis is an important public health concern in aging populations.β-caryophyllene, a component of various essential oils, is a selective agonist of the cannabinoid receptor type 2 and exerts cannabimimetic anti-inflammatory effects in animals. The present study aimed to identify the effect of β-caryophyllene on adipogenesis, osteoblastic mineralization and osteoclastogenesis in mouse bone marrow cell cultures in vitro. Bone marrow cells obtained from mouse femoral tissues were cultured in the presence of β-caryophyllene (0.1-100 µM) in vitro. The results revealed that β-caryophyllene stimulated osteoblastic mineralization, and suppressed adipogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Thus, β-caryophyllene may be used as a therapeutic agent for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/beta-caryophyllene-may-be-used-therapeutic-agent-prevention-and-treatment-oste#comments Beta-Caryophyllene Osteoporosis Osteoprotective Beta-Caryophyllene Osteoporosis Osteoprotective Animal Study Tue, 16 Jan 2018 02:09:02 +0000 greenmedinfo 158456 at https://greenmedinfo.com Clinical trials have shown that patients with osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and cancer can benefit from vitamin K2 supplement. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/clinical-trials-have-shown-patients-osteoporosis-cardiovascular-diseases-and-c n/a PMID:  Ugeskr Laeger. 2015 Aug 3 ;177(32):V12140700. PMID: 26321585 Abstract Title:  [Vitamin K2 influences several diseases]. Abstract:  In this paper we discuss the evidence of vitamin K2 deficiency which is a factor in several chronic diseases like diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. This deficiency is very common in the mentioned diseases although it is rarely treated by clinicians. Randomized clinical trials have shown that patients with osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and cancer can benefit from vitamin K2 supplement. Further studies are needed to ascertain the effect of vitamin K2 supplement in patients with diabetes and inflammatory bowel diseases. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/clinical-trials-have-shown-patients-osteoporosis-cardiovascular-diseases-and-c#comments Cancers: All Cardiovascular Diseases Inflammation Osteoporosis Vitamin K2 Cancers: All Cardiovascular Diseases Inflammation Osteoporosis Vitamin K2 Review Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:52:09 +0000 greenmedinfo 141649 at https://greenmedinfo.com Co-administrated puerarin and zinc can partially reverse OVX-induced bone loss. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/co-administrated-puerarin-and-zinc-can-partially-reverse-ovx-induced-bone-loss n/a PMID:  Life Sci. 2016 Dec 1 ;166:20-26. Epub 2016 Sep 30. PMID: 27697446 Abstract Title:  Coadministration of puerarin (low dose) and zinc attenuates bone loss and suppresses bone marrow adiposity in ovariectomized rats. Abstract:  AIMS: Puerarin is a phytoestrogen that shows osteogenic effects. Meanwhile, zinc stimulates bone formation and inhibits bone resorption. The study aims to investigate the effects of coadministration of puerarin (low dose) and zinc on bone formation in ovariectomized rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Co-administration or use alone of puerarin (low dose) and/or zinc were gavaged in OVX rats. The estrogen-like effects were detected by the uterus weight, the histologic observation and the IGF-1 protein expression. The osteogenic effects were determined by bone histomorphometric and mechanical parameters, osteogenic and adipogenic blood markers, and so on. KEY FINDINGS: The results showed that oral administration of puerarin (low dose) plus zinc didn&#039;t significantly increase uterus weight. The glandular epithelial of endometrium had no proliferation and no protein expression of IGF-1. Moreover, co-administration attenuated bone loss and biomechanical decrease more than single use of puerarin or zinc (p&lt;0.05). Next, combined administration of puerarin and zinc promoted the serological level of osteocalcin, bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) proliferation, and the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and suppressed the serological level of adiponectin and adiposity in bone marrow (BM). SIGNIFICANCE: In conclusion, co-administrated puerarin (low dose) and zinc can partially reverse OVX-induced bone loss and suppress the adiposity of BM in rats, which shed light on the potential use of puerarin and zinc in the treatment of osteoporosis. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/co-administrated-puerarin-and-zinc-can-partially-reverse-ovx-induced-bone-loss#comments Osteoporosis Puerarin Zinc Osteogenic Osteoprotective bone loss Osteoporosis Ovariectomy-Induced Changes Puerarin zinc Animal Study Fri, 02 Dec 2016 21:54:42 +0000 greenmedinfo 139815 at https://greenmedinfo.com Natural Solution to Osteoporosis https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/natural-solution-osteoporosis <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2012<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/natural-solution-osteoporosis" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/natural-solution-osteoporosis#comments Osteoporosis Calcium Vitamin DIII Vitamin K Osteoporosis Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:40:00 +0000 drgrantwellness 87460 at https://greenmedinfo.com Osteoporosis Is Scurvy of the Bone, Not Calcium Deficiency https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/osteoporosis-scurvy-bone-not-calcium-deficiency <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2021<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Osteoporisis Is Scurvy of the Bone, Not Calcium Deficiency" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/sayerji/images/osteoporosis_scurvy.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 326px;" title="Osteoporosis Is Scurvy of the Bone, Not Calcium Deficiency" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong>It saddens me to see older women diagnosed with "osteopenia" or "osteoporosis" listening to their doctors and taking supplemental calcium and even problematic drugs called bisphosphonates.

Epub 2016 Jul 5. PMID: 27387537 Abstract Title:  Ginsenosides Rg3 attenuates glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis through regulating BMP-2/BMPR1A/Runx2 signaling pathway. Abstract:  Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the primary cause of secondary osteoporosis and the existing therapeutic strategies are limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ginsenosides (GS) Rg3 on dexamethasone (DEX)-induced osteoporosis in vivo and in vitro. GIOP rat was established by DEX injection for 5 weeks and treated by GS Rg3 10 or 20 mg/kg. Body weight and bone mineral density (BMD) of rats were measured at the beginning and the end of the experiment. Histological changes of femurs were observed using HE staining. The in vitro model was established on primary osteoblasts induced by DEX. CCK-8 assay was used to test the cell viability. Bone metabolism markers in serum or primary osteoblasts were detected using biochemical kits. Real time PCR and western blot were used to measure nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL),osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2), BMP receptor 1A (BMPR1A) and Runx2 expression. The results demonstrated that GS Rg3 prevented DEX-induced body weight and BMD reduction, enhanced secretion of bone formation markers and decreased bone resorption markers. In addition, GS Rg3was found to prevent the suppression of BMP-2/BMPR1A/Runx2 signals induced by DEX both in GIOP rats and primary osteoblasts. Inhibition of BMP-2 by noggin completely blocked the bone-alkaline phosphatase-secretion-promoted effect of GS Rg3 in vitro. These data suggest that GS Rg3 attenuates GIOP through regulating BMP-2 signaling pathway. This study provides a potential drug candidate for GIOP therapy. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/study-provides-potential-treatment-candidate-glucocorticoid-induced-osteoporos#comments Ginsenosides Osteoporosis Dexamethasone Osteoprotective Dexamethasone Ginsenosides glucocorticoid Osteoporosis Osteoprotective Animal Study In Vitro Study Wed, 28 Dec 2016 00:17:14 +0000 greenmedinfo 141077 at https://greenmedinfo.com Using Pueraria mirifica and miroestrol as alternative hormone replacement therapy of E2 might be beneficial. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/using-pueraria-mirifica-and-miroestrol-alternative-hormone-replacement-therapy n/a PMID:  Fitoterapia. 2012 Dec ;83(8):1687-92. Epub 2012 Oct 4. PMID: 23041523 Abstract Title:  Impact of Pueraria candollei var. mirifica and its potent phytoestrogen miroestrol on expression of bone-specific genes in ovariectomized mice. Abstract:  Miroestrol (MR) is a highly active phytoestrogen isolated from tuberous root of Pueraria candollei var. mirifica (PM). Modulatory effects of PM and MR on osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) mRNAs which are bone-specific genes were investigated in ovariectomized female ICR mice. After ovariectomy, expression of OPG mRNA was suppressed but that of RANKL was induced. Estradiol benzoate (E2) recovered OPG expression to the level comparable to the sham while that of RANKL was suppressed in ovariectomized mice. PM crude extract (PME) significantly down-regulated the expression of RANKL mRNA with no change in the OPG level whereas MR elevated the expression of OPG mRNA with lowering level of RANKL mRNA, resulting in the increased OPG/RANKL ratio, and consequently lead to lowering progression of osteoporosis at molecular level. These findings revealed potential of PME and MR on bone loss prevention via increasing the ratio of OPG to RANKL (osteoformation/osteoresorption) in liver of ovariectomized mice. Therefore, using PME and MR as alternative hormone replacement therapy of E2 might be beneficial recommended due to advantageous on regulation of osteoporosis related genes. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/using-pueraria-mirifica-and-miroestrol-alternative-hormone-replacement-therapy#comments Osteoporosis Pueraria mirifica Osteoprotective Gene Expression Regulation Osteoporosis Osteoprotective Ovariectomy-Induced Changes Pueraria mirifica Animal Study Wed, 16 May 2018 21:29:38 +0000 greenmedinfo 164332 at https://greenmedinfo.com Whole body vibration is a good adjunctive therapy for the prevention and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/whole-body-vibration-good-adjunctive-therapy-prevention-and-management-osteopo n/a PMID:  Malays J Med Sci. 2016 Sep ;23(5):8-16. Epub 2016 Oct 5. PMID: 27904420 Abstract Title:  Role of the Whole Body Vibration Machine in the Prevention and Management of Osteoporosis in Old Age: A Systematic Review. Abstract:  A literature search of related articles was carried out in electronic data sources. Initially, 276 randomised controlled trials related to the title were collected, after which 44 were selected using the keywords. Overlapping articles, articles with a study duration of less than six months, and studies involving young participants were removed from the list. The remaining 20 articles were checked for entitlement using the PEDro scale. A total of nine eligible articles with 1486 participants were analysed. Seven trials used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to measure bone mineral density (BMD). The six trials published from 2005 to 2013 found a significant increase in BMD. In the remaining one trial, there was no significant increase in BMD. One study published in 2013 reported a significant increase in BMD measured with peripheral qualitative computed tomography, whereas another trial published in 2014 stated that there was a reduction in calcaneal bone density measured by peripheral qualitative ultrasound. From these findings it can be concluded that the whole body vibration machine is a good adjunctive therapy for the prevention and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. However, further investigations are necessary before the same can be recommended for elderly men. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/whole-body-vibration-good-adjunctive-therapy-prevention-and-management-osteopo#comments Osteoporosis Integrative Medicine Osteoprotective Whole-Body Vibration Integrative Medicine Osteoporosis whole-body vibration women's health Review Mon, 19 Dec 2016 15:53:50 +0000 greenmedinfo 140669 at https://greenmedinfo.com
