Forty-four million men and women are affected by osteoporosis in the United States. Women are at a greater risk for developing osteoporosis due to their lower peak bone mass and going through menopause which accelerates bone loss (1)....
Effects of Blackberry and Blueberry Polyphenol Extracts on Nitric Oxide and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Production in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated RAW264.7 Macrophages
Plants are rich sources of polyphenols which are reported to play an important role in promotion of human health. Epidemiological studies have shown that populations who consume foods rich in polyphenols have lower incidence of chronic...
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that is characterized by the progressive degradation and loss of articular cartilage. The etiology of OA is complex; however, it is well known that advanced age is a major risk factor for...
A previous animal study conducted in our lab showed that blueberry, a rich source of polyphenols, was able to increase whole-body BMD in ovariectomized (OVX) rat model. In addition, blueberry, as low as 5% in the diet, was able to...
Background: Osteoporosis is a serious condition in which bone of the skeleton deteriorates substantially, resulting from an imbalance of the bone remodeling process. Affecting more than 40 million Americans, osteoporosis leads to major...
