Download biomedica product listThe glycoprotein Sclerostin is mainly secreted by osteocytes and acts as a negative regulator of bone mass and strength by inhibiting bone formation. Studies have shown that high intensity exercise induces an increase in serum Sclerostin levels suggesting that it may be a key protein involved in muscle and bone interaction.
A recent study by Śliwicka E and colleagues https://buff.ly/3qx6V4U evaluated the effects of a marathon race on selected myokines and Sclerostin in male recreational runners. Results show that in response to the marathon run, a complex network of endocrine interactions is initiated. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the long-term impact of prolonged high intensity exercise on the human body.
