BUFFALO, NY- March 26, 2024 – A new #researchpaper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 5, entitled, “Chlorogenic acid prevents ovariectomized-induced bone loss by facilitating osteoblast functions and suppressing osteoclast formation.” Osteoporosis is a common bone disease in aging populations, principally in postmenopausal women. Anti-resorptive and anabolic drugs have been applied to prevent and cure osteoporosis and are associated with different adverse effects. Du-Zhong is usually applied in Traditional Chinese Medicine to strengthen bone, regulate bone metabolism, and treat osteoporosis. Chlorogenic acid is a major polyphenol in Du-Zhong. In this new study, researchers Chien-Yi Ho, Chih-Hsin Tang, Trung-Loc Ho, Wen-Ling Wang, and Chun-Hsu Yao from China Medical University, China Medical University Hospital and Asia University found chlorogenic acid to enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Chlorogenic acid also inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Notably, ovariectomy significantly decreased bone volume and mechanical properties in the ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Administration of chlorogenic acid antagonized OVX-induced bone loss. “Taken together, chlorogenic acid seems to be a hopeful molecule for the development of novel anti-osteoporosis treatment.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205635 Corresponding authors - Wen-Ling Wang - supercocono1@mail.cmu.edu.tw, and Chun-Hsu Yao - chyao@mail.cmu.edu.tw Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.205635 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, chlorogenic acid, osteoporosis, ovariectomized, osteoclast, osteoblast About Aging-US Aging publishes research papers in all fields of aging research including but not limited, aging from yeast to mammals, cellular senescence, age-related diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s diseases and their prevention and treatment, anti-aging strategies and drug development and especially the role of signal transduction pathways such as mTOR in aging and potential approaches to modulate these signaling pathways to extend lifespan. The journal aims to promote treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging. Cancer and COVID-19 are age-related diseases.
