ABSTRACT
AIMS:
The skeletal effects of metformin monotherapy and in combination with teneligliptin are not well illustrated in patients with T2DM. To address this, we conducted an observational study to evaluate the effect of these oral hypoglycemic agents on bone turnover markers.METHODS:
We recruited patients with T2DM and first-ever prescribed metformin monotherapy or metformin combined with teneligliptin from a tertiary care teaching hospital in New Delhi, North India. Both bone formation and resorption markers, IL-6 and PTD, were estimated along with glycated hemoglobin at baseline and 12 weeks.RESULTS:
In both groups, hbA1c levels decreased significantly from baseline to 12 weeks. In the metformin-treated group, ß-CTX, sRANKL, IL-6, and PTD decreased significantly, and no significant changes were observed in P1NP, OC, BAP, or OPG at 12 weeks from baseline. In the metformin + teneligliptin group, BAP, ß-CTX, sRANKL, IL-6, and PTD decreased significantly, and no significant changes were observed in P1NP, OC, or OPG after 12 weeks from baseline.CONCLUSIONS:
The positive bone outcome of metformin or teneligliptin was linked to bone resorption rather than bone formation and was independent of changes in HbA1c or PTD. However, these results must be confirmed with well-designed RCTs with more extended follow-up periods.Palabras clave
