Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.1K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

13.8K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

4.3K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.2K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

3.7K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health01:25

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health

5.0K
The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

Summary

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) does not significantly impact bone mineral density (BMD). Osteopenia is more common in individuals over 40, with obese women at risk for osteoporosis and men for osteopenia.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Bone Health

Background:

  • Osteopenia and osteoporosis are bone defects affecting bone mineral density (BMD).
  • Diabetes mellitus has a complex relationship with BMD, influencing bone health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on osteopenia and osteoporosis.
  • To assess the role of body mass in T2DM-related bone density changes.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study involving 400 T2DM patients and 200 healthy controls.
  • Bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores measured by DXA and Body Mass Index (BMI) for obesity assessment.

Main Results:

  • Osteopenia was prevalent in individuals over 40, particularly associated with obesity.
  • Obese women showed a higher likelihood of osteoporosis, while men were more prone to osteopenia, though statistical significance was limited.

Conclusions:

  • No significant impact of gender, diabetes, or obesity on overall BMD was found.
  • Age over 40 is linked to increased osteopenia prevalence.
  • Specific risks for osteoporosis (obese women) and osteopenia (men) were noted.
