Sesame Osteoporosis Osteopenia Research

Published studies on this issue:

1. Sesamin stimulates osteoblast differentiation through p38 and ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathways. Authors: Orawan Wanachewin, Kanchanit Boonmaleerat, Peraphan Pothacharoen, Vichai Reutrakul,  and Prachya Kongtawelert corresponding author

Summary: "The data suggest that  sesamin has the ability to trigger osteoblast differentiation  by activation of  the p38 and ERK MAPK signaling pathway and possibly indirectly regulate osteoclast  development via the expression of OPG and RANKL in osteoblasts. Therefore, sesamin may be a promising phytochemical that could be developed for supplementation of osteoporotic therapy.   Journal: Complement Altern Med. 2012; 12: 71.  Published online 2012 May 30. doi: 10.1186/1472-6882-12-71
