Previously we showed that, Gen enhances endothelial cells(EC) proliferation and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, through a mechanismof action that involves the estrogen receptor. In this work, westudied the effect of Gen on bone-vascular axis and, its relationshipwith osteoblastic (OB) differentiation. To that end, primary cultures ofmurine (Wistar rats) endothelial cell (EC) or calvarial preosteoblastcell (OB) were used. OB monolayers were incubated (24 h) with culturemedium obtained from EC (conditioned medium C). Thus, OBproliferation was measured (MTT assay and cell counting). MediumC stimulated OB proliferation (13%, p
