[Osteocalcin and glucose metabolism: assessment of human studies].
Médecine Sciences : M/S 2017 April
Osteocalcin, a protein secreted by osteoblasts, is recognized as a biomarker of bone mineralization. Besides, animal experimental studies have shown that osteocalcin could play an important role in glucose metabolism. Over the course of the last decade, this theory has been investigated in several human studies. Most of the results obtained from these reports support a positive correlation between total and undercarboxylated osteocalcin and insulin secretion/sensitivity. Studies also corroborate a reverse association with glycemic parameters such as fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin. Nevertheless, because most of the studies published are observational, it is not possible to yet confirm a direct cause-effect relationship. Research in the field will surely contribute to the development of new pharmacological strategies for the treatment of endocrine diseases.
