BGLAP and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In women with newly diagnosed T2DM, we documented lower levels of osteocalcin (3.8 ± 2.1 vs. 6.7 ± 3.7 μg/L, p < 0.01), CTX (234 ± 89.1 vs. 376.9 ± 140.3 pg/mL, p < 0.01) and NTX levels (27.2 ± 7.8 vs. 37.6 ± 15.9 nM/BCE, p < 0.05) as compared to their non-diabetic counterpart.
