Controlled delivery of procyanidin through magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) to improve the activity and mineralization of osteoblasts under oxidative stress in vitro

Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microenvironment of osteoporosis (OP) not only accelerate the bone absorption, but also affect the osteogenic and mineralized effect of osteoblasts. Procyanidins (PC) have been reported to have anti-oxidation effects, but low bioavailability. This study aimed to explore the effect of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-PC NPs)-loaded PC on the osteogenesis and mineralization of osteoblasts that stimulated by H
