Abstract:OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effects of integrated effective constituents of Sanziwan (SZW) on ovariectomy-induced bone loss. METHODS The 4.5-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovariectomized to develop osteoporosis, which was treated with vehicle, nylestriol (1 mg·kg-1, once a week) and SZW effective constituents (15, 30, 60 mg·kg-1, once a day, 6 d per week) for 12 w, respectively. The body weights of rats were measured every week, while the uterus of rats were separated and weighted at the end of the experiment. Bone mineral density and bone mineral content were determined by peripheral quantitative computerized tomography densitometry. Serum phosphorus, calcium, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), corticosterone, deoxypyridinoline crosslinks to creatinine ratio (DPD/Cr), alkaline phosphate (ALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels were also measured. RESULTS Compared with the normal control group, the body weights of OVX rats increased significantly, the uterine weight, bone mineral density and bone mineral content of tibia were significantly decreased, the serum DPD/Cr, TRAP, ALP, ACTH and corticosterone levels were increased significantly, the serum phosphorus, calcium and OPG levels were significantly decreased. Treatment with SZW effective constituents significantly decreased the uterine weight, effectively increased the bone mineral density and bone mineral content of tibia in ovariectomized rats, without affecting the body weights, improved serum phosphorus, calcium, and OPG levels, lowered serum DPD/Cr, TRAP, ACTH, and corticosterone levels, but hardly changed ALP level in ovariectomized rats. CONCLUSION Through inhibiting bone resorption, SZW effective constituents has a definite protective effect on bone loss in ovariectomized rats.
