Efficacy for Bone Deterioration in Mice with Osteoporosis and Pharmaceutical Properties of a Novel Compound Calcium Carbonate Granule

Figure 3

CCCG improved bone metabolism in osteoporosis (OP) mice. Laboratory tests for biochemical markers of bone metabolism: serum bone metabolism-related indicators calcium (a), phosphorus (b), BALP (c), P1NP (d), and OPG (e) were determined after the administration of CCCG or CCD for 36 days; (f, g) oxidative stress-related kidney and liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and catalase (CAT) were determined after the administration of CCCG or CCD. Control: normal mice; model: RA-induced OP model mice; CCCG-L: low-dose CCCG-treated OP model mice; CCCG-M: middle-dose CCCG-treated OP model mice; CCCG-H: high-dose CCCG-treated OP model mice; CCD: CCD-treated OP mice. , , and ; n = 6 or 7 per group.
