Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus can give rise to bone metabolic disorders in patients, resulting in the occurrence of osteoporosis and low traumatic fractures. However, the pathogenesis mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To review the current research progress in the bone metabolic disorders resulting from diabetes mellitus, and to provide theoretical basis of the prevention and treatment of diabetic osteopathy.
METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in Pubmed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) from January 2000 to December 2013. Articles focusing on diabetes mellitus regulating bone metabolism were collected using the key words of “diabetes mellitus; bone” in English. High-quality relevant studies were included, while repetitions and unidirectional studies were excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 6 979 articles were obtained initially, and after screening procedures  58 literatures were selectively included in this review. Although type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus exert different effects on the bone mineral density, they ultimately result in osteoporosis and low traumatic fractures. It is widely believed that the pathogenesis may be that high glucose breaks the balance between bone formation and bone absorption, so that bone absorption is greater than bone formation. The number of the osteoclasts is increased, while the cytokines of promoting osteogenesis are restrained. As a consequence, those result in low bone mineral density, brittle bone and high incidence of fracture.
