The Preventive Effect of Biochanin A on Bone Loss in Ovariectomized Rats: Involvement in Regulation of Growth and Activity of Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts
Figure 3
Effects of BCA on (a) the growth of preosteoblasts and mature osteoblasts, (b) preosteoblastic ALP staining, (c) mature osteoblastic ALP+-specific activity, (d) the growth of preosteoclasts and mature osteoclasts, (e) preosteoclastic TRAP+ staining, and (f) mature osteoclastic TRAP activity. All data are shown as mean SD for three separate experiments. * compared with the control. BCA: biochanin A; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; TRAP: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.
