Effects of Rosmarinic Acid and Sinapic Acid on the Skeletal System in Ovariectomized Rats.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: It is believed that some polyphenols, including phenolic acids, may counteract estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss, decreasing oxidative stress. Moreover, some phenolic acids-among others, rosmarinic acid and sinapic acid-have been reported to increase the serum estradiol concentration in rats. The study aimed to investigate the impact of rosmarinic acid and sinapic acid on the skeletal system of rats with estrogen deficiency induced by bilateral ovariectomy. Methods: The study was carried out on mature female rats, divided into sham-operated control rats, ovariectomized (OVX) control rats, and OVX rats treated with estradiol (0.2 mg/kg; positive control), rosmarinic acid (10 and 50 mg/kg), or sinapic acid (5 and 25 mg/kg). The compounds were administ
