Abstract Context: Sex steroids are important determinants of the skeletal development, growth, and maintenance after achievement of peak bone mass. A large fraction of these hormones are bound by SHBG, and previous studies have shown that SHBG could be a determinant of bone characteristics. Objective: We investigated associations of serum SHBG levels with cortical and trabecular bone characteristics in young healthy men. Design and Settings: A total of 677 healthy male siblings aged 25–45 yr were recruited in a cross-sectional, population-based study. Main Outcomes: Areal bone parameters were assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Cortical bone parameters at the tibia and radius and trabecular vBMD at the radius were assessed using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Serum testosterone, estradiol, and SHBG levels were measured using immunoassays. Results: Regression models including age, height, and weight showed that SHBG levels were positively associated with bone area at the hip and the whole body, but not with areal bone mineral density (BMD). Higher SHBG levels were associated with a larger cortical bone area and periosteal and endosteal circumferences at both the tibia and the radius, whereas trabecular volumetric BMD at the radius was negatively associated with SHBG levels. Associations persisted after adjustment for (free) sex steroid levels. No associations were found with cortical volumetric BMD or cortical thickness. Conclusion: In this population of healthy adult men at the age of peak bone mass, SHBG levels were positively associated with cortical bone size, independently from sex-steroid levels. This suggests a possible independent role of SHBG in the determination of adult bone size.

AbstractLoss-of-function mutations in the Sost gene lead to high bone mass phenotypes. Pharmacological inhibition of Sost/sclerostin provides a new drug strategy for treating osteoporosis. Questions remain as to how physical activity may affect bone mass under sclerostin inhibition and if that effect differs between males and females. We previously observed in female Sost knockout (KO) mice an enhanced cortical bone formation response to a moderate level of applied loading (900 με at the tibial midshaft). The purpose of the present study was to examine cortical bone adaptation to the same strain level applied to male Sost KO mice. Strain-matched in vivo compressive loading was applied to the tibiae of 10-, 26- and 52-week-old male Sost KO and littermate control (LC) mice. The effect of tibial loading on bone (re)modeling was measured by microCT, 3D time-lapse in vivo morphometry, 2D histomorphometry and gene expression analyses. As expected, Sost deficiency led to high cortical bone mass in 10- and 26-week-old male mice as a result of increased bone formation. However, the enhanced bone formation associated with Sost deficiency did not appear to diminish with skeletal maturation. An increase in bone resorption was observed with skeletal maturation in male LC and Sost KO mice. Two weeks of in vivo loading (900 με at the tibial midshaft) induced only a mild anabolic response in 10- and 26-week-old male mice, independent of Sost deficiency. A decrease in the Wnt inhibitor Dkk1 expression was observed 3 h after loading in 52-week-old Sost KO and LC mice, and an increase in Lef1 expression was observed 8 h after loading in 10-week-old Sost KO mice. The current results suggest that long-term inhibition of sclerostin in male mice does not influence the adaptive response of cortical bone to moderate levels of loading. In contrast with our previous strain-matched study in females showing enhanced bone responses with Sost ablation, these results in males indicate that the influence of Sost deficiency on the cortical bone formation response to a moderate level of loading differs between males and females. Clinical studies examining antibodies to inhibit sclerostin may need to consider that the efficacy of additional physical activity regimens may be sex dependent.
