Short-term Administration of Glucagon-like Peptide-2. Effects on Bone Mineral Density and Markers of Bone Turnover in Short-Bowel Patients with No Colon

Abstract: A 5-week GLP-2 administration significantly increased spinal BMD in short-bowel patients with no colon. The mechanism by which GLP-2 affects bone metabolism remains unclear, but may be related to an increased mineralization of bone resulting from an improved intestinal calcium absorption.

“…Therapies to minimize BMD loss for patients on TPN include bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and calcium supplementation; however, experimental approaches using subcutaneous PTH may be beneficial because of the osteoblastic effect of this agent. Another promising agent, glucagon-like-peptide-2, increased BMD in a pilot study of patients with short bowel syndrome [47].…”

“…Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), an enteroendocrine L-cell derived hormone, is an inhibitor of gastric emptying. GLP-2 also decreases bone resorption (26) and has positive effect on bone mineralization (27). Overall, the nutritional, metabolic and hormonal changes produced by rapid weight loss favor bone resorption.…”

“…Vitamin D concentrations are uniformly low in SBS patients, though its link to MBD in SBS patients is not as robust as found with celiac disease or primary biliary cirrhosis [86]. Interestingly, GH [87] and GLP-2 [88] may increase bone density in SBS patients. A parenteral formulation for vitamin D supplementation would be of significant benefit to the SBS patient in the treatment of their osteoporosis, but is not currently commercially available.…”
