Abstract: We investigated the anti-osteoporosis effect and the possible mechanism of PM-HE (Hexane extract from Raw and Processed Polygonum multiflorum) in animal model.Kunming mice were randomly divided into 9 groups:Control group (normal saline),model group,nilestriol group (2 mg/kg),PM-HE groups (48,24 mg/kg).The mice osteoporosis was induced by given retinoic acid intragastrically.After oral administration for 14 days,the features of bones and biochemicals in serum were determined to evaluate the anti-osteoporosis effects of PM-HE .The results showed:PM-HE can induce high conversion of osteoporosis.The levels of ALP,TRAP and BGP in the PM-HE groups were lower than those in the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01),whereas the E2 level was higher than that of the model group (P<0.05).PM-HE can prevent the loss bone in the experimental mice.The mechanism may be the inhibition of estrogen decrease and the high bone turnover.
