Elevated sclerostin levels contribute to reduced bone mineral density in non-ambulatory stroke patients

Osteoporosis following stroke is a significant impediment to patient recovery. Decreased mechanical loading and locomotion following the onset of paralysis in stroke patients, especially those who are non-ambulatory, contributes greatly to bone loss. Sclerostin, a protein encoded by the SOST gene, a...
