Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with osteoporosis, is a systemic metabolic disease that affects postmenopausal women. This disease is closely related to the lack of estrogen. This study aims to demonstrate the correlation between serum estradiol (E2) levels and osteoporosis, bone mineral density, and bone metabolism indicators in postmenopausal women with T2DM complicated with osteoporosis (T2DM-OP). 130 postmenopausal women with T2DM were divided into the T2DM group (n=62) and the T2DM-OP group (n=68) according to bone mineral density (BMD). In addition, 80 postmenopausal women with average blood glucose and bone density were selected as the healthy control group. We compare the serum levels of E2, bone metabolism indicators, and biochemistry indexes among the three groups of participants. Compared with the healthy control and T2DM groups, the BMD and serum level of E2 in T2DM-OP patients were significantly decreased, while the serum levels of bone alkaline phosphatase, type I procollagen amino-terminal propeptide, osteocalcin, and β-collagen C-terminal collagen cross-links were significantly increased. The serum levels of E2 in the postmenopausal T2DM-OP patients are positively correlated with BMD and negatively correlated with bone resorption indicators.
