Centella asiatica, Estrogen, Osteoporosis, Osteocytes, Osteoclasts, OsteoblastsAbstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Centella asiatica L. as a phytoestrogen.
Methods: Therapy using C. asiatica extract at doses of 60 mg/kg body weight, 120 mg/kg BW, and 180 mg/kg BW was administered to ovariectomized
rats for 30 days.
Results: Histological examination using hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated an increased number of osteocytes and a decreased number of
osteoclasts, but there was no significant increase in osteoblast numbers.
Conclusion: The administration of the low doses of C. asiatica extract affects the number of osteocytes and osteoclasts but not osteoblasts in
ovariectomized rats.
