Plasma Osteoprotegerin Concentrations in Type 2 Diabetic Patients and its Association with Neuropathy

Abstract: The major findings of this study were that the plasma OPG concentrations were higher in type 2 diabetic patients than OPG concentrations in healthy control subjects and they were positively correlated with diabetic neuropathy. This finding supports the growing concept that OPG acts as an important regulator in the development of vascular dysfunction in diabetes.

“…In the following years, several authors confirmed the association between serum OPG and both types of diabetes [24,35,36,41,42,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. Galluzzi et al [41] showed that plasma OPG levels are significantly higher in prepubertal children with type 1 diabetes mellitus than in controls, and evidenced a correlation between OPG serum concentrations and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c).…”

“…In concordance with these data, it has been shown that OPG was also significantly elevated both in a subgroup of recently diagnosed diabetic patients (within 2 years) [36] and in newly diagnosed type 1 patients [51,52] in which OPG levels decreased markedly after 6 month of insulin treatment and, in which a relation of OPG with HbA1c was, once more, evidenced. In another recent research, Terekeci et al [35] confirmed in type 2 diabetic patients that plasma OPG levels correlated significantly with diabetes duration and HbA1c levels. Rasmussen et al [42] made a similar observation in patients with type 1 diabetes.…”

“…2b). OPG expression and production are regulated by inflammatory cytokines, and elevated plasma OPG levels have been recorded in T1DM and T2DM patients [39,[87][88][89][90]. Lower RANKL to OPG ratios have also been found in T1DM [91].…”

“…24 Furthermore, OPG is associated with atherosclerosis and diabetic complications, such as neuropathy, nephropathy, or retinopathy. 17,21, 25 However, studies have yet to determine whether OPG is causally related to atherosclerotic disease progression or is implicated as a modulatory response to subclinical CVD. In endothelial cells, OPG acts as a survival and antiapoptotic factor.…”
