Abstract:
... Longitudinal bone growth mainly occurs during adolescence and can be enhanced by growth hormones. We hypothesized that water extracts from roots of Allium fistulosum L. (Welsh onion, WO; 15 or 45 mg/kg bw/day) and Portulaca oleracea L. (PO; 15 or 45 mg/kg bw/day) can stimulate longitudinal bone growth in weanling male rats for 4 weeks. Femur and tibia lengths were higher in the WO-H and PO-H group ...
