The results revealed that EGT could suppress RANKL-induced podosome belt formation and osteoclast development in vitro, while reducing intracellular ROS levels by upregulating key antioxidant enzymes, including HO-1 and Catalase.

The potential of EGT to protect against trabecular bone loss in OVX mice was further demonstrated by micro-CT imaging, possibly by reducing osteoclast numbers shown by histological outcomes.
