Effects of Hot Water Extracts from Polygonum multiflorum on Ovariectomy Induced Osteopenia in Mice

Figure 6

Effect of Polygonum multiflorum on serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), estradiol, and bone alkaline phosphatase/alkaline phosphatase (BALP/ALP). In control, SHAM-operated mice and OVX mice with or without the administration of PM (100, 200 mg/kg/day, p.o) for 6 weeks. Serum (a) TRAP, (b) estradiol, and (c) BALP/ALP ratios were measured by ELISA kit. Each value represents the mean ± SD for . sham versus OVX group. , , and significantly different from ovariectomized mice.
