POST MENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS: TREATMENT WITH NUTRACEUTICALS
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Osteoporosis, a silent epidemic has become a major health hazard in recent years. Osteoporosis which increases bone fragility and thereby the risk of fractures is associated with high mortality, morbidity and high medical expenses throughout the world. Though ovarian hormone deficiency is a major risk factor for osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women. Phytoestrogens are believed to play a role in maintaining or improving skeletal health. The present work reviews scientific information on medicinal plants which have been documented for their antiosteoporotic activity. These plants may differ from each other in their mechanisms of action, they either bind with estrogen receptors which exhibit responses at the cellular and molecular levels, or in some cases they act by improving defense against oxidative stress.
