Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is the most common cause of secondary osteoporosis. Expression of bone-related genes may correspond to alteration in bone metabolism with glucocorticoid exposure. Piper sarmentosum (Ps) extract is known to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In t...
