Methyl jasmolate (MeJA)-treated vegetables produce higher concentrations of various bioactive compounds. We investigated whether long-term oral consumption of MeJA-treated and untreated buckwheat sprout powder improves energy, glucose, lipid, and bone metabolism induced by estrogen deficiency in ovariectomized (OVX) rats fed high-fat diets, and explored the mechanisms involved. ⋯ MJ-BWS prevented and ameliorated the disturbances in energy and glucose metabolism in estrogen-deficient animals better than BWS. Therefore, besides flavonoids in BWS, other components such as phytoalexins produced in MJ-BWS during MeJA-treatment might play a crucial role in the improvement.
