Bone Jul 29, 2018
Wedrychowicz A, et al. - Authors gauged the association between sclerostin, other bone and fat-related factors as osteocalcin (OC), Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor NF-κB ligand (RANKL), leptin and adiponectin with glucose metabolism and insulin action in children and adolescents with obesity vs healthy children and adolescents.

In obese young patients, findings suggested a probable correlation of sclerostin with decreasing insulin resistance.
