Exercise and healthy diet consumption support healthy aging. Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) also known as "Baill." has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, the role of S. chinensis as an antiaging compound has yet to be demonstrated. This study elucidated the antiaging effect of S. chinensis ethanol-hexane extract (C1) and the effect of C1 treatment on muscle and bone following physical exercise in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. RAW 264.7, human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs), C2C12 myoblasts, bone marrow macrophages, and MC3T3-E1 cells were used for in vitro, and muscle and bone of OVX rats were used for in vivo study to demonstrate the effect of C1. The C1 significantly inhibited the expression of inflammatory molecules, β-galactosidase activity, and improved antioxidant activity via down-regulation of reactive oxygen species in RAW 264.7 and aged HDF cells. The C1 with exercise improved muscle regeneration in skeletal muscle of OVX rats by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy. C1 induced osteoblast differentiation, and C1 + exercise modulated the bone formation and bone resorption in OVX rats. C1 exhibited anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, myogenic, and osteogenic effects. C1 with exercise improved age-related muscle wasting and bone loss. Therefore, S. chinensis may be a potential prevent agent for age-related diseases such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis.

Menopause occurs due to the depletion of the ovarian reserve, leading to a progressive decline in estrogen (E2) levels. This decrease in E2 levels increases the risk of developing several diseases and can coexist with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Arterial hypertension (AH) is another condition associated with menopause and may either contribute to or result from CKD.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic inflammatory bone disease characterized by reduced bone structure and strength, leading to increased fracture risk. Effective therapies targeting both bone and cartilage are limited. This study compared the therapeutic effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), bisphosphonate (Aclasta), and human Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) in a rat model of OP.

Article Synopsis
  • A-ring modifications in 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D enhance its binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and increase its stability in cells by resisting metabolism, leading to longer-lasting effects.
  • Various modified A-ring precursors synthesized from d-glucose showed specific biological activities with minimal calcemic side effects, including MART-10's potent antitumor effects in cancer models and AH-1's superior bone-forming properties in osteoporosis models compared to natural vitamin D.
  • Ongoing research includes developing a library of fluorinated vitamin D analogs with potential anti-inflammatory effects and therapeutic applications for conditions like psoriasis, alongside the creation of the VDR-silent analog KK-052, which selectively inhibits SREBP/SC

Objective: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with high morbidity and significant adverse effects. Increasing evidence supports the close relationship between oxidative stress and osteoporosis, suggesting that treatment with antioxidants may be a viable approach. This study evaluated the antioxidant properties of dichotomitin (DH) and its potential protective effects against osteoporosis.

Article Synopsis
  • MZGW (Modified Zuo Gui Wan) combines traditional herbal treatment and red yeast rice, showing promise in treating osteoporosis (OP) through its effects on osteoclasts.
  • Research utilized both in vivo (OVX rat model) and in vitro (RANKL-induced osteoclasts) experiments to understand MZGW's mechanisms, particularly focusing on the SCFA-GPR41-p38MAPK signaling pathway.
  • Results indicated that the high-dose MZGW improved bone microstructure and inhibited osteoclast activity by changing gut flora metabolism and effectively regulating specific signaling pathways.
