Early intermittent low-dose sclerostin antibody treatment promotes surface bone formation and reduces bone loss, but also decreases osteocyte apoptosis and mechanotransduction in ovariectomized rats: a pilot study
2024-10-02
Abstract excerpt
Neutralizing sclerostin antibodies (Scl-Ab) mitigate bone loss and promote bone formation to address fracture risk in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Clinically, this treatment is administered monthly for women at high risk of fragility fractures, who are often years into menopause. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that dampening of bone formation occurs with continuous dosing at supraphysiological doses. Osteop...
