Geniposide suppressed OX-LDL-induced osteoblast apoptosis by regulating the NRF2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Scientists investigated the effect of geniposide, a natural compound from Eucommia ulmoides, on osteoporosis. Geniposide was found to protect against the development of osteoporosis induced by cholesterol accumulation. This research can contribute to the development of potential drugs for treating osteoporosis.
