Effect of Xianqi Decoction on bone mass density. IL-6 and plasma acid phosphatase in experimental osteoporosis rats[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2003, (10): 780-781.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.2003.10.041.
Objective: To investigate the effect of Xianqi Decoction on experimental osteoporosis of rats and its mechanism. Methods: 72 female SD rats aged 7 months were randomly divided into two groups
i. e. 60 for operation group
12 for sham-operation group. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed on operation group. 2 months later
postmenopausal osteoporosis model rats were successfully established. Rats in operation group were randomly divided into model group
western medicine group
Xianqi Decoction low dose group
middle dose group and high dose group. Total six groups were given corresponding medicine by intragastric perfusion. 60 days later
rats were sacrificed after taking blood sample. Serum IL-6. plasma acid phosphatase (ACP) and bone mass density of vertebra and femur were determined. Results: Compared with model group. IL-6 and ACP level in three Xianqi Decoction groups was significantly reduced (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). and there was no significant difference among Xianqi Decoction groups and western medicine group. Bone mass density in all drug-administered groups was increased (P<0. 05).
