<i>Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus</i> Inhibits Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL)-Induced Osteoclast Differentiation and Prevents Ovariectomy (OVX)-Induced Bone Loss
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of root bark of <i>Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus</i> (ES) on osteoclast differentiation and function in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, we found that ES significantly inhibited the RANKL-induced formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated oste...

Collectively, our findings showed that ES inhibited RANKL-activated osteoclast differentiation in bone marrow macrophages and prevented OVX-mediated bone loss in rats. These findings suggest that ES has the potential to be used as a therapeutic agent for bone-related diseases, such as osteoporosis.https://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/26/7/1886<i>Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus</i>OsteoporosisRANKLOsteoclast differentiationNFATc1c-Fos |
