As expected, an induced chronic inflammation provoked further bone loss at total, metaphyseal, and diaphyseal sites in ovariectomized rats. Tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol prevented this osteopenia by increasing bone formation (p < 0.05), probably because of their antioxidant properties. The two doses of OMWW extracts had the same protective effect on bone (p < 0.05), whereas OMWW did not reverse established osteopenia. In conclusion, polyphenol consumption seems to be an interesting way to prevent bone loss. © 2008 American Chemical Society. ER -
