Journal Article
Evaluation of the anti-osteoporotic effects of metformin and sitagliptin in postmenopausal diabetic women
2015
Overview
Osteoporosis is the most important metabolic bone disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. Several studies have documented that metformin is osteogenic in vitro. In contrast, others showed no effect of metformin on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Incretin hormones have received much attention because of their beneficial effects beyond glycemia, including on bone health. The study evaluated the anti-osteoporotic effect of metformin and sitagliptin in postmenopausal diabetic women. Forty postmenopausal diabetic women were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group 1 received metformin (Glucophage
®
500 mg) 1 tablet twice daily, and group 2 received sitagliptin (Januvia
®
100 mg) 1 tablet/day, for 12 weeks. Fasting blood and urine samples were collected for measurement of serum total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, and urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD). Laboratory tests were measured at baseline, after 4 and 8 weeks, and at the end of the study. Bone mineral density of the anterior posterior lumbar spine was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention. In the metformin-treated group, the mean values for all markers of bone turnover at 12 weeks of treatment were not significantly different from baseline. In group 2, the mean serum total ALP was significantly decreased, serum osteocalcin levels were non-significantly decreased gradually by 10 % at 12 weeks, while urinary DPD decreased significantly and was then maintained at 28 % decrease at 12 weeks. In conclusion, metformin is neither osteogenic nor has anti-osteoporotic effect, while sitagliptin could positively regulate bone metabolism.
