Abstract

Abstract

Disclosed are methods and compositions for use in inhibiting osteoclast activity and, particularly, the osteoclast acid secretion that leads to bone-degradation. It is shown that the isoflavone genistein inhibits the acid secretion of osteoclasts and reduces bone resorption. The present invention thus provides advantageous methods for use in inhibiting osteoclast activity, as may be employed to reduce bone loss, for example, in patients with osteoporosis, metastatic bone cancers and renal failure.
