The molecular mechanisms underlying these anabolic effects are still poorly understood, but appear to include both direct actions on osteoblastic cells as well as indirect effects such as through stimulation of IGF-1 production and downregulation of sclerostin, a physiologic antagonist of the important anabolic Wnt-?

Transgenic mice that overexpress sclerostin are seen to have low bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures [99] while mice deficient in sclerostin show increased bone density [100].
