Increased osteoprotegerin level is associated with impaired cardiovagal modulation in type-2 diabetic patients treated with oral antidiabetic drugs

Abstract: Background An increased osteoprotegerin (OPG) level has been reported in both type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diease (CVD) that are linked to sympathovagal imbalance (SVI). We explored the link of osteoprotegerin with cardiovagal modulation in T2DM. Methods We assessed fasting serum OPG, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), glucose, insulin and lipid profile in patients having T2DM receiving oral antidiabeti… Show more

“…In our previous reports, we had described higher osteoprotegerin level in diabetes compared to healthy control despite standard treatment. [14] In this study, we report a similar pattern of higher OPG, T2D women with hypertension though it did not reach statistical significance between two disease groups, which might be due to a sample size. Our finding suggests that there might be a higher degree of vascular calcification in T2D patients when associated with hypertension.…”

“…Yet, hypertension in diabetes attenuates the link of OPG to reduction in BRS (Table 4 ). Recently we have reported the link of increased level of OPG with decreased cardio-vagal modulation in T2D patients treated with oral antidiabetic drugs [ 25 ]. The findings of the present study corroborate with our earlier report of OPG as a marker of CV risks in diabetes, and in addition these findings indicate that TNF-α is a potential surrogate biomarker of CV risk in hypertensive patients with T2D on oral antidiabetic drugs.…”

“…The raised level of osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein chiefly secreted from vascular smooth muscle cells and adipocytes, has been linked to atherosclerosis and CVD [ 24 ]. Our previous report depicts a positive association of OPG with decreased HRV in the Indian population with T2D [ 25 ]. However, it is unclear whether OPG is altered in T2D patients treated with oral antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs.…”

“…As BRS is influenced by mechanical properties of vascular wall, high vascular transmural pressure could alter the BRS and influences the autonomic regulation of blood pressure in diabetes with hypertension. Recently we have reported the plausible role of OPG in decreased cardiovagal modulation in diabetes 13 . Also, we have reported the link OPG with decreased BRS in patients with diabetes receiving oral anti-diabetic drugs 27 .…”
