We investigated this mechanism by treating Sost-deficient mice and their wild-type littermates with anabolic and catabolic regimens of PTH and measuring the skeletal responses.
Male Sost(+/+) and Sost(-/-) mice were injected daily with human PTH 1-34 (0, 30, or 90 μg/kg) for 6 wk.
Female Sost(+/+) and Sost(-/-) mice were continuously infused with vehicle or high-dose PTH (40 μg/kg · d) for 3 wk.
