Methods： SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups： normal control group （N）, ovariectomized control group （OVX）, estrogen-treated group （OVX＋E） traditional and Chinese medicine-treated group （OVX＋ CM）. After treaanent, IL-6 levels in rat bone tissue media and serum were examined by ELISA. The proximal tibias（PTM） of rats were undecalcified for quantitative bone histomorphometry. Results： Compared with OVX group, both Bushen Zhuanggu medicine and estrogen decreased IL-6 level in rat bone tissue media. However, the effects of Bushen Zhuanggu Formul were weaker than those of estrogen. Furthermore, Bushen Zhuanggu Formul and estrogen produced a reduction in bone turnover by inhibiting bone formation and bone resorption at the same time. Conclusion： Bushen Zhuanggu Formul prevents ovariectomic bone loss by inhibiting IL-6 production in rat bone tissues.展开更多
