Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The impact of insulin-resistance on bone mineral density (BMD) remains unclear. Sclerostin inhibits bone formation, and increases with ageing, metabolic syndrome, and renal failure. Genetically-determined low sclerostin levels are associated with high BMD. Our aim was to determine the bone phenotype and the influence of insulin-resistance without obesity on sclerostin levels in Familial Partial...
