Bone losses in obese, ovariectomized rats appear to be independent from sclerostin-induced inhibition of the Wnt/ β-catenin pathway.

CONCLUSIONS: Bone losses invoked by DIO seem to be independent from the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibition induced by sclerostin. While further study is necessary, the obtained results suggest that the usage of sclerostin anti-body in the treatment of osteoporosis can be ineffective, and in obese patients the undertaking of such therapy should be reassessed.
