text: In addition to OPG and RANKL, osteocytes are the source of a diverse array of products that have the capacity to modulate bone remodelling, including small molecule mediators such as prostanoids, nitric oxide, and nucleotides, as well as a broad spectrum of cytokines and growth factors such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and TGF-β.13 ,18–24 Osteocytes also are a major source of fibroblast growth factor 23, which regulates serum phosphorus levels by increasing renal phosphate excretion.25
