Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is linked to chronic complications such as bone fragility and high fracture risk, with the role of gastrointestinal hormones like GLP-2 in bone remodeling being a key focus.
- A study involving 43 postmenopausal women examined how bone resorption (CTX), bone formation (osteocalcin), and GLP-2 levels responded to a mixed meal, finding that T2D women had different baseline levels and responses compared to controls.
- Results showed that while GLP-2 increased after the meal for both groups, the expected decrease of CTX was less pronounced in T2D women, indicating a disrupted bone remodeling response to food intake in those with diabetes.
