Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, one shows an interesting result in that Korean Red Ginseng prevents bone loss in ovariectomized rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, effects of Korean Red Ginseng on the trabecular bone architecture and strength and its mechanism has not been fully clarified yet. In this project, we have evaluated the combined effects of jump exercise coupled with Korean Red Ginseng in young and ovariectomized rats.
