Effect of LABE on osteoporosis. Effects of LABE on (a) body weight, (b) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and (c) serum calcium level of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Rat groups include sham-operated (Sham), OVX-control (OVX), E2-treated OVX groups (E2), and LABE 500 mg/kg treated OVX groups (LABE) (N=10/group). Compared are OVX group versus Sham group (### P < 0.001) and OVX group versus sample and E2-treated group (P < 0.05, P <0.01, and P <0.001).
