## Abstract Remodeling imbalance in the elderly femoral neck can result in thin cortices and porosity predisposing to hip fracture. Hip osteoarthritis protects against intracapsular hip fracture. By secreting sclerostin, osteocytes may inhibit Wnt signaling and reduce bone formation by osteoblasts.

## Abstract The development of bone‐rebuilding anabolic agents for treating bone‐related conditions has been a long‐standing goal. Genetic studies in humans and mice have shown that the secreted protein sclerostin is a key negative regulator of bone formation. More recently, administration of scler
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of sclerostin inhibition by treatment with a sclerostin antibody (Scl‐AbII) on bone formation, bone mass, and bone strength in an aged, gonad‐intact male rat model. Sixteen‐month‐old male Sprague‐Dawley rats were injected subcutaneou
Zinc is essential for the growth of the human and other animals. Bone growth retardation is a common finding in various conditions associated with zinc deficiency, suggesting a physiological role of zinc in the growth and mineralization of bone tissue. Bone zinc content is decreased by development w
