Protective effect of resveratrol on estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis though attenuating NADPH oxidase 4/nuclear factor kappa B pathway by increasing miR-92b-3p expression.

Cathepsin K expression and Nox4/NF-κB signaling pathway were suppressed by the elevated expression of miR-92b-3p. This inhibition was pivotal in the protective effect of RES against osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency in both ovaries. Thus, RES efficiently alleviated osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency in rats.
