Evaluation of bone turnover in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using biochemical markers and bone mineral density measurements

Abstract: Although osteoporosis is reported as a potential complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), the effects of type 2 DM on bone mass are conflicting. Most of the studies conducted in recent years reveal that bone mineral density (BMD) values of type 2 DM patients are not decreased and even increased when compared with healthy control groups. In this study we evaluated bone turnover in 57 postmenopausal type 2 DM patients utilizing biochemical markers for bone formation and resorption, and BMD measurements. We… Show more

“…However, we observed that patients with type 2 DM with poor metabolic control presented significantly lower osteocalcin levels than normal individuals. These results agree with those reported in other studies, but their significance is not fully understood (24). In other situations in which there is a reduction of osteocalcin levels, both protection (e.g., in obesity) (25,26) and impairment (e.g., in old age) (27)(28)(29) of bone mass have been observed.…”

“…The literature on the relationship between biochemical markers of bone turnover and BMD in diabetic and non-diabetic patients suggests that markers of formation and resorption are lower in the diabetic group [14,20], although the study which reported findings in both sexes commented that such differences were apparent in women only [14]. We found no relationship between glucose tolerance and biochemical markers of bone turnover among men in this study, although the numbers studied were small, limiting power.…”

“…While studies of bone density in diabetic patients have given conflicting results, type 2 diabetes is usually associated with increased axial bone density [1,2,3,4,5,6], and it has been suggested that this association is due to insulin resistance. A recent cross-sectional study of over 7500 Canadian men and women showed that type 2 diabetes was associated with higher bone mineral density (BMD) even after adjustment for confounding variables, although relationships were stronger in women [7].…”

“…However, studies in rodent models of type 2 DM and in rodents fed high-fat diets have demonstrated a reduction in osteoblast recruitment and mineral apposition rate and an increase in osteoclastogenesis, resulting in an imbalance between bone formation and resorption (42,43). Cross-sectional findings in humans further support these data, as serum markers of bone formation, such as osteocalcin, are lower and markers of bone resorption, such as C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen, are elevated in participants with type 2 DM (44,45). Increased bone resorption may be mediated by the formation of advanced glycation end products, which stimulate osteoclast activity and may lead to an uncoupling of bone formation and resorption (46).…”
