menopausal status, and glucose tolerance in endocrinology outpatients.
Material and Methods: A total of 178 endocrinology outpatients with oral glucose tolerance test
(OGTT) findings were included. Data on anthropometrics [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference
(cm), body fat percentage (BFP), and fat mass], glycemic parameters [fasting blood glucose (FBG),
insulin), C-peptide, HbA1c, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)], blood lipids, and serum osteocalcin
(OCN) levels [total osteocalcin (tOCN) and uncarboxylated osteocalcin (uOCN)] were compared with
sex, menopausal status, and glucose tolerance status.
Results: No significant difference was noted in the tOCN and uOCN levels concerning gender and
menopausal status. tOCN was negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumference, BFP, and fat mass
in patients with normal glucose tolerance (p
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
