A Comparison of the Antiosteoporotic Effects of Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas L.) Extracts from Red and Yellow Fruits Containing Different Constituents of Polyphenols and Iridoids in Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts

Figure 6

The effect of Cornus mas L. extracts on tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity in the primary osteoclasts of mice. The primary monocytes were incubated with M-CSF (50 ng/mL) and RANKL (50 ng/mL) and cotreated with RED EXT1 (a), YL EXT2 (b), and YL EXT3 (c) at three different concentrations (2, 5, and 10 μg/mL) for 5 days. TRAP activity was measured using acid-phosphatase at an absorbance of 405 nm. CM, Cornus mas L. extract. vs. induction, # vs. CM2, $ vs. CM5 (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s honest significant difference post hoc test).
