Abstract

Purpose

Diabetic osteopathy is an upcoming complication of diabetes characterized by osteoporosis, increased risk for bone fractures and alterations in bone metabolism. Osteocalcin (OC) is a bone-specific protein produced by osteoblasts involved in the regulation of glucose and energy metabolism. The aim of this study is to determine whether OC serum levels are correlated with metabolic control in adult subjects with type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 93 subjects (51 men) with mean age, disease duration and body mass index (BMI) of 39.9 ± 12.3, 17.2 ± 12.6 years and 24.5 ± 3.4 kg/m2, respectively. Blood samples were drawn to measure levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), OC, 25-OH vitamin D and PTH.

Results

Significant inverse correlations were found between OC and HbA1c (r = −0.295, P = 0.004) and between OC and BMI (r = −0.218, P = 0.037). These correlations were confirmed also among men in the analyses by gender [HbA1c vs OC: r = −0.363, P = 0.009; BMI vs OC: r = −0.291, P = 0.043], and similar but nonsignificant trends were confirmed among women. A significant difference in mean OC was also found between the lowest and the highest HbA1c tertile (22.3 ± 10.0 vs 16.9 ± 8.0 ng/mL, P = 0.025).

Conclusions

These data show that in T1DM of long duration, OC serum levels are inversely associated with HbA1c and BMI, supporting the hypothesis that a poor glycemic control can affect osteoblast function.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
