PG - 3361309 LID - 10.1155/2021/3361309 [doi] LID - 3361309 AB - INTRODUCTION: Hypoglycemic drugs affect the bone quality and the risk of fractures in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to investigate the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and insulin on bone mineral density (BMD) in T2DM. METHODS: In this single-blinded study, a total of 65 patients with T2DM were randomly assigned into four groups for 52 weeks: the exenatide group (n = 19), dulaglutide group (n = 19), insulin glargine group (n = 10), and placebo (n = 17). General clinical data were collected, and BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: Compared with baseline, the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased significantly in the exenatide (8.11 +/- 0.24% vs. 7.40 +/- 0.16%, P = 0.007), dulaglutide (8.77 +/- 0.37% vs. 7.06 +/- 0.28%, P < 0.001), and insulin glargine (8.57 +/- 0.24% vs. 7.23 +/- 0.25%, P < 0.001) groups after treatment. In the exenatide group, the BMD of the total hip increased. In the dulaglutide group, only the BMD of the femoral neck decreased (P = 0.027), but the magnitude of decrease was less than that in the placebo group; the BMD of L1-L4, femoral neck, and total hip decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in the placebo group, while in the insulin glargine group, the BMD of L2, L4, and L1-4 increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the placebo group, the BMD of the femoral neck and total hip in the exenatide group and the insulin glargine group were increased significantly (P < 0.05); compared with the exenatide group, the BMD of L4 in the insulin glargine group was also increased (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the placebo, GLP-1RAs demonstrated an increase of BMD at multiple sites of the body after treatment, which may not exacerbate the consequences of bone fragility. Therefore, GLP-1RAs might be considered for patients with T2DM. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01648582. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Ting-ting Cai et al.
