CONTEXT Pycnogenol(®) extracted from French maritime pine bark (Pinus pinaster Ait. subsp. atlantica) is functional for its antioxidant activity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Pycnogenol(®) on bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular microarchitecture and bone metabolism in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups: SHAM group (sham-operated rats), OVX group (OVX rats), and treatment group (OVX rats supplemented with 40…

Calcium Bioavailability of Opuntia ficus-indica Cladodes in an Ovariectomized Rat Model of Postmenopausal Bone Loss
TLDR
Findings indicated that O. ficus-indica cladodes at a late maturity stage represent a good source of bioavailable calcium and consumption of these cladodes might be beneficial for the prevention of osteoporosis and other bone diseases.
Pinus roxburghii alleviates bone porosity and loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis by regulating estrogen, calcium homeostasis and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB, osteoprotegerin, cathepsin bone markers.
TLDR
P. roxburghii produced anti-osteoporotic effect possibly due to estrogenic modulation, and improved bone remodeling, and the attenuation of bone loss was confirmed.
Effects of French maritime pine bark extract (Oligopin®) supplementation on bone remodeling markers in postmenopausal osteopenic women: A randomized clinical trial
TLDR
FMPBE supplementation for 12 weeks in post menopausal osteopenic women produced favorable effects on bone markers, and further research is needed to determine whether FMPBE supplements can be used as a preventive strategy for bone loss in postmenopausal oste Openic women.
Evaluation of toxicity and anti-osteoporosis effect in rats treated with the flavonoids of Psoraleae Fructus
The Protective Effects of Alisol A 24-Acetate from Alisma canaliculatum on Ovariectomy Induced Bone Loss in Vivo
TLDR
Results suggest alisol A 24-acetate effectively prevents bone loss in OVX mice, and that it can be considered a potential therapeutic for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Can pycnogenol prevent cisplatin-induced damage in uterus and ovaries?
TLDR
Pycnogenol pretreatment alleviates cisplatin-induced uterine and ovarian injury in rats because of its antioxidative effect.
Assessment of safety and efficacy of pine bark extract in normal and ovariectomized mice.
TLDR
The results showed that the dose of PBE at the recommended human intake, had no toxic and estrogenic effects in normal female and OVX mice, however, it may need attention to use the excess intake of P BE with some drugs in postmenopausal women.
Effects of Pycnogenol on cisplatin-induced optic nerve injury: an experimental study
TLDR
Pycnogenol pretreatment was highly effective in preventing augmentation of cisplatin-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in eye tissue.
Antipostmenopausal effects of Stauntonia hexaphylla and Vaccinium bracteatum fruit combination in estrogen-deficient rats
TLDR
Investigating the mitigation of menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes and postmenopausal osteoporosis after combinatorial treatment with SH and VB of ovariectomized (OVX) rats provides the foundation for developing SHVB as a natural substance to replace hormones in the future.

Protective Effect of Pycnogenol® on Ovariectomy‐induced Bone Loss in Rats
TLDR
Results indicated that orally administered PYC can decrease the bone turnover rate in OVX rats, resulting in positive effects on the biomechanical strength of bone and bone mineral density.
Inhibitory effect of maritime pine bark extract (Pycnogenol®) on deterioration of bone structure in the distal femoral epiphysis of ovariectomized mice
TLDR
The findings suggest that Pycnogenol may be useful in preventing BMD loss and trabecular architectural deterioration in osteoporosis.
Effects of Kalsis, A Dietary Supplement, on Bone Metabolism in the Ovariectomized Rats
TLDR
Kalsis administration attenuated partially bone loss observed by μCT due to ovariectomy and the antioxidant action of this food supplement, due to the synergism of all its components, as a cause of its beneficial effect is suggested.
Oral administration of hyaluronan reduces bone turnover in ovariectomized rats.
TLDR
HA gavage blunted the development of osteopenia in this model as determined by preventing the 30% increase in serum collagen N-terminal telopeptide levels and reducing bone mineral content loss from 6 to 4%.
Effects of trans-resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum on bone loss using the ovariectomized rat model.
TLDR
Results indicated that resveratrol could increase epiphysis BMD and inhibit the decrease of femur BCC in OVX rats, suggesting that it could play a role in protecting against bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency.

Dietary quercetin inhibits bone loss without effect on the uterus in ovariectomized mice
TLDR
The results suggest that dietary quercetin inhibits bone loss without effect on the uterus in OVX mice and does not act as a potent inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis or as a selective estrogen receptor modulator in vivo.
