Compares the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) activity of the<br />
black cohosh extract BNO 1055 (Klimadynon ® /Menofem ® ) to estrogen.<br />
After a 3-month treatment with black cohosh or estrogens, ovariectomized<br />
rats showed both decreased luteinizing hormone secretion and reduced<br />
bone loss. The estrogen group also showed uterine weight gain and<br />
progesterone receptor activity, whereas the group using black cohosh did<br />
not. Results indicated that black cohosh has SERM properties that act in the<br />
hypothalamus/pituitary system and prevent bone loss without stimulating<br />
the uterus. The active constituents remained unidentified.<br />

Evaluates the activity of black cohosh in the uterus, bone, liver, and aorta.<br />
Subacute and chronic treatments with black cohosh extract BNO 1055 were<br />
compared to treatments with estradiol in rats. <strong>Black</strong> cohosh showed no<br />
effect on uterine weight, but acted similarly to estrogen in the bone, liver,<br />
and aorta. These results suggested that black cohosh has phytoselective<br />
estrogen receptor (ER) modulator activity acting mainly upon ER-β.<br />
