Article Synopsis
- There is ongoing debate about how diabetes, especially type 2 in postmenopausal women, affects bone quality, potentially linked to poorly controlled blood sugar levels.
- The study investigated how chronic high blood sugar impacts bone turnover, structure, and strength in female Wistar rats, comparing groups that underwent ovariectomy (surgical removal of ovaries) with those that did not.
- Results indicated that hyperglycemic-ovariectomized rats showed improved bone formation and stronger bones, despite some changes in their bone structure, suggesting that chronic high blood sugar might actually have some beneficial effects on bone quality in this specific context.
