Objective : The purpose of this studies was to determine the effect of Carthami semen, Bogol-Tang and Rhynchosia volubilis Lour. on changes of trabecular area and physiological metabolites in the ovariectomized osteoporotic Rats.
Methods : In order to induce estrogen deficient osteoporosis, ovariectomy was done on rats. Then the Carthami semen, Bogol-Tang and Rhynchosia volubilis Lour. were orally administerd: Such indexes were measured as the changes of body weight, bone mineral density, trabecular area in tibia, and levels of osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus, cholesterol, triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in serum.
Results : 1. The change of bone mineral density in Bogol-Tang group and Rhynchosia volubilis lour. group. was significantly increased compare to control group.
2. The change of trabecular area % in epiphysis of tibia in Carthami semen group was significantly increased compare to control group.
3. The change of trabecular area % in diaphysis of tibia in Bogol-Tang group was significantly increased compare to control group.
4. The change of serum osteocalcin in Bogol-Tang group was significantly decreased compare to control group.
5. The change of serum bone alkaline phosphatase in Bogol-Tang group was significantly decreased compare to control group.
5. The change of serum bone alkaline phosphatase in Bogol-Tang group was significantly decreased compare to control group.
6. The change of1 serum calcium in Rhynchosia volubilis lour. group was significantly decreased compare to control group.
7. The change of phosphorus in Carthami semen group and Rhynchosia volubilis Lour. group was significantly decreased compare to control group.
8. The change of serum cholesterol and triglyceride of experimental groups were decreased in comparison with control group.
9. The change of serum AST(Aspartate aminotransferase : GOT) in Rhynchosia volubilis Lour. group was decreased compare to control group.
10. The change of serum ALT(Alanine aminotransferase : GPT) in Bogol-Tang group was decreased compare to control group.
