The Effect of Glucose on Bone - Direct og Indirect?

GLUBONE
Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of bone fractures, but current predictors of bone fracture seem to underestimate this risk. It is commonly known that increased levels of certain biochemical bone markers predict low-energy fractures, but the pattern of these markers in diabetics still show heterogeneity and inconsistency. Part of the pathology of diabetes is a high blood glucose level, and this can potentially influence bone turnover and thereby bone markers. Chronic inflammation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is shown to increase bone resorption, and the same may be the case in diabetics. The purpose of this project is to investigate whether glucose has a direct effect on bone markers or an indirect effect through intestinal hormones or inflammatory processes.
