Anti-sclerostin antibody and mechanical loading appear to influence metaphyseal bone independently in rats

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sclerostin is produced by osteocytes and is an inhibitor of bone formation. Thus, inhibition of sclerostin by a monoclonal antibody increases bone formation and improves fracture repair. Sclerostin expression is upregulated in unloaded bone and is downregulated by loading. We...
