Therapeutic Effects of <i>Cortex acanthopanacis</i> Aqueous Extract on Bone Metabolism of Ovariectomized Rats

<table>Effects of 12-week treatment with <i>Cortex acanthopanacis</i> extract (CAE) or <i>Folium Epimedii</i> extract (FEE) on mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) for the NC (normal control rats), Sham (rats with Sham operation), OVX (ovariectomized rats), E2 (rats treated with 17<i>β</i>-estradiol), FEE (rats treated with FEE), and CAE (rats treated with CAE) groups.
