Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased skeletal fragility and impaired fracture healing. Intermittent PTH therapy increases bone strength; however, its skeletal and metabolic effects in diabetes are unclear. We assessed whether PTH improves skeletal and metabolic function in rats with T2DM. Subcritical femoral defects were created in diabetic fa/fa and nondiabetic +/+ Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats and internally stabilized. Vehicle or 75 μg/kg/d PTH(1–84) was sc administered over 12 weeks. Skeletal effects were evaluated by μCT, biomechanical testing, histomorphometry, and biochemical markers, and defect regeneration was analyzed by μCT. Glucose homeostasis was assessed using glucose tolerance testing and pancreas histology. In diabetic rats, bone mass was significantly lower in the distal femur and vertebrae, respectively, and increased after PTH treatment by up to 23% in nondiabetic and up to 18% in diabetic rats (P < .0001). Diabetic rats showed 23% lower ultimate strength at the spine (P < .0005), which was increased by PTH by 36% in normal and by 16% in diabetic rats (P < .05). PTH increased the bone formation rate by 3-fold in normal and by 2-fold in diabetic rats and improved defect regeneration in normal and diabetic rats (P < .01). PTH did not affect serum levels of undercarboxylated osteocalcin, glucose tolerance, and islet morphology. PTH partially reversed the adverse skeletal effects of T2DM on bone mass, bone strength, and bone defect repair in rats but did not affect energy metabolism. The positive skeletal effects were generally more pronounced in normal compared with diabetic rats.

Aims To analyze expression of members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)4/myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway in the heart and liver in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our overall goal was to understand the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Methods We measured fasting blood glucose (FBG) and insulin (FINS) in a rat model of T2DM. Expression of members of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway as well as downstream cytokines was investigated. Levels of mRNA and protein were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Protein content of tissue homogenates was assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results Diabetic rats had lower body weights, higher FBG, higher FINS, and higher intraperitoneal glucose tolerance than normal rats. In addition, biochemical indicators related to heart and liver function were elevated in diabetic rats compared with normal rats. TLR4 and MyD88 were involved in the occurrence of T2DM as well as T2DM-related heart and liver complications. TLR4 caused T2DM-related heart and liver complications through activation of NF-κB. Conclusions TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling induces production of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, leading to the heart- and liver-related complications of T2DM.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of newly diagnosed prediabetes, diabetes mellitus among the officers from Phuoc Long district of Binh Phuoc province. Subjects and methods: 268 personals communications service was examined the impaired fasting glucose (G0); impaired glucose tolerance (G2) anh HbA1c. Results: Prevalence of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus by G0, G2, HbA1c as follows 16,0%; 13,1%; 17,9% and 3,8%; 6,7%; 2,2%. Common prevalence of prediabetes in 26,9%; type 2 diabetes mellitus in 7,1%. Conclusion: Personal communications service from Phuoc Long district have percentage of prediabetes higher compared to type 2 diabetes mellitus which of prediabetes was diagnosed by HbA1c which takes up the highest percentage; diabetes mellitus was diagnosed by G2which takes up the highest percentage.
