Open AccessTabersonine ameliorates osteoblast apoptosis in rats with dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis by regulating the Nrf2/ROS/Bax signalling pathway
We explored how tabersonine (Tab) protected against dexamethasone (Dex)-induced osteoporosis. Osteoblasts were treated with Dex (100 µM) with or without Table (5 or 10 µM). We measured cell viability, alkaline...
