Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effects of Calotropis procera and its compounds calotropin (CLT) and gomphogenin (GPG) on osteoporosis in rats induced by ovariectomy.
  • Treatment with C. procera extract, CLT, and GPG for 14 days restored normal estradiol levels and improved bone health by regulating key biomarkers and increasing serum calcium and phosphorus.
  • CLT showed greater effectiveness than GPG in reducing bone turnover by inhibiting osteoclastic activity and facilitating calcium mineralization, confirmed through molecular docking studies.
