Effects of Chinese herbs on mRNA levels of OPG and RANKL in osteoblasts and marrow stromal cells from tibia of rats. Messenger RNA levels of RANKL and OPG in tibia sections were examined by using in situ hybridization. A) OPG mRNA level, B) RANKL mRNA level, and C) Ratio of mRNA RANKL/mRNA OPG are shown in this figure. All the experiments were performed three times. Please see the Methods section in the text for details.
