Abstract:
Ligustri Lucidi Fructus (LLF), which could nourish the liver and kidney, was used for the treatment of bone atrophy in ancient times. The current basic and clinical studies have shown that LLF had a broad application prospect in the treatment of osteoporosis. In this paper, by reviewing the related literature of home and abroad, we summarize the related experimental and clinical research progress of LLF and its compound on the treatment of osteoporosis, and clear their function mechanism, hoping to lay a theoretical foundation for further experimental study and clinical research.
