Diabetes, TZDs, and Bone: A Review of the Clinical Evidence

نویسنده

  • Ann V. Schwartz
چکیده

Evidence from rodent and in vitro models suggests that activation of PPAR-gamma by thiazolidinediones (TZDs) causes increased bone marrow adiposity and decreased osteoblastogenesis, resulting in bone loss. TZDs are prescribed for the treatment of diabetes, providing an opportunity to determine whether PPAR-gamma activation also impacts bone in humans. In addition, since type 2 diabetes is associated with higher fracture risk, an understanding of the clinical impact of TZDs on bone is needed to guide fracture prevention efforts in this population. This review summarizes current findings regarding type 2 diabetes and increased fracture risk and then considers the available evidence regarding TZD use and bone metabolism in humans.

Bone Loss in Diabetes: Use of Antidiabetic Thiazolidinediones and Secondary Osteoporosis

Clinical evidence indicates that bone status is affected in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Regardless of normal or even high bone mineral density, T2DM patients have increased risk of fractures. One class of antidiabetic drugs, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), causes bone loss and further increases facture risk, placing TZDs in the category of drugs causing secondary osteoporosis. Ris...

Will Statin Use Prevent Fracture of Type 2 Diabetes Associated with Thiazolidinedione Treatment? A Mini-Review and a Hypothesis

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are a multi-effective anti-glycemic drug for type 2 diabetes. Recent clinical trials suggest TZDs are associated with bone loss or fracture in older diabetic women. Diabetic women exhibit more rapid bone loss despite the higher baseline bone mineral density. The higher fracture risk of type 2 diabetes may be associated with neural and vascular complications, or the fra...

TZDs and Bone: A Review of the Recent Clinical Evidence

Over the past two years, evidence has emerged that the currently available thiazolidinediones (TZDs), rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone have negative skeletal consequences, at least in women, which are clinically important. Increased fracture risk in women, but not men, was reported for both TZDs, based on analyses of adverse event reports from clinical trials. In short-term clinical trials in wo...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonists and diabetes: Current evidence and future perspectives

Since their initial availability in 1997, the thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have become one of the most commonly prescribed classes of medications for type 2 diabetes. In addition to glucose control, the TZDs have a number of pleiotropic effects on myriad traditional and non-traditional risk factors for diabetes. TZDs may benefit cardiovascular parameters, such as lipids, blood pressure, inflammato...
