Abstract EN
Recent research has confirmed that Panax ginseng (P.
ginseng) has effect on cultured osteoblast of the mouse.
In this study we aim to validate the usefulness of tibia quantification by correlating micro-computed tomographic (microCT) images with histology analysis in the aged male rats.
A total of thirty – old male WISTAR rats were used and divided into ten 8 weeks rats and ten 112 weeks aged rats with vehicle and ten 112 weeks aged rats with P.
ginseng (300 mg/kg/day).
Daily oral administration of P.
ginseng lasted for 8 weeks.
Bone histomorphometric parameters and the trabecular bone microarchitectural properties of tibia were determined by microCT scan.
MicroCT analysis showed significantly lower bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone number in the aged group.
Ginseng prevented total BMD decrease in the tibia induced by natural aging, which was accompanied by a significant decrease in skeletal remodeling.
Furthermore, the aged group with ginseng was found to have a significantly higher osteoblast.
In the blood biochemistry results, serum phosphorus, calcium, osteocalcin, T3, and T4 remained unchanged.
The present study indicated that P.
ginseng might be a potential alternative medicine for the prevention and treatment of natural aging-induced osteoporosis in human
