Osteoprotective Effect of Cordycepin on Estrogen Deficiency-Induced Osteoporosis In Vitro and In Vivo

Figure 3

Effects of cordycepin on body weight changes for the study (◆sham group, ■OVX group, □cordycepin-5 group, ▲cordycepin-20 group, and ●cordycepin-10 group). Body weights were higher in the ovariectomized (OVX) animals than in sham-operated ones. Cordycepin-20 had similar body weights with the OVX animals in the former 5 weeks. From 5 weeks after the treatment was initiated, cordycepin-20 significantly increased body weights compared to sham group.
