Potential of delphinidin-3-rutinoside extracted from Solanum melongena L. as promoter of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 function and antagonist of oxidative damage.

These findings indicate that D3R protects MC3T3-E1 cells from oxidative damage and suggest the potential utility of dietary D3R supplement to prevent osteoblast dysfunction in age-related osteoporosis.
