Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption and formation, exhibiting a higher prevalence in women compared with men. While previous studies have primarily focused on genomics and genetics in osteoporosis susceptibility, there is a lack of systematic exploration of sex-specific differences in lipid levels in mouse bone marrow. Multiple reaction monitoring-based liquid chromatography-trandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to quantify lipidomic profiles in bone marrow samples from three female mice and three male mice. The LC-MS/MS technique based on the multiple reaction monitoring method identified and quantified 184 lipids from 15 lipid classes. The contents of most lipids in the bone marrow cells of female mice were higher than those in male mice, including four polyunsaturated fatty acids, three phospholipids and four sphingolipids. Among all the lipid molecules, lactosylceramide (d18:0/16:0) showed the highest fold change in female mice, while its precursor lipid, glucosylceramide, was the most up-regulated in male mice. This study, focusing on bone marrow lipidomics, elucidates significant sexual dimorphism in lipid levels within bone marrow cells. It provides novel evidence supporting the higher prevalence of osteoporosis in women and enhances our understanding of the connection between sex-specific lipid levels and the risk of osteoporosis.

Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:161-170. [PMID: 36367566 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06591-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Transient insulin resistance seen during puberty is expected to favour body growth, but our results show that increment in insulin resistance even in physiological ranges during puberty might compromise lumbar spine bone mineral density accrual independently of body composition parameters, and therefore adult bone quality might be challenged. INTRODUCTION Insulin resistance (IR) might have a compromising effect on growing bone, and therefore adult bone quality might be challenged. The aim of the present study was to identify whether increases in IR during puberty contribute to bone mineral characteristics in males independently of body composition parameters. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort-based longitudinal observational study. Data from 85 subjects were included. Boys were studied annually during their pubertal years (12 years at baseline) and at follow-up at the age of 18 years. Anthropometry, bone age, fasting blood samples, body composition, total body, and lumbar spine bone mineral characteristics were measured. Insulin resistance was determined by homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR). Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of changes in HOMA-IR during pubertal years as a longitudinal predictor to fixed bone mineral outcome variables at the age of 18 years. All models were adjusted to potential clinically justified confounding variables. RESULTS After adjustment to baseline bone indices and body composition-related predictors, the pubertal increment in the HOMA-IR was a negative independent predictor of lumbar spine bone mineral areal density (β = - 0.202, p = 0.005) and lumbar spine bone mineral apparent density (β = - 0.235, p = 0.005) in 18-year-old males. CONCLUSIONS Pubertal increment in IR has a potential diminishing effect on lumbar spine bone mineral density accrual independently of body composition parameters. Further studies are needed to clarify whether monitoring HOMA-IR during puberty may identify subjects at increased risk of low peak bone mass and possible osteoporosis in the future.

Vitamin D Status Is Negatively Related to Insulin Resistance and Bone Turnover in Chinese Non-Osteoporosis Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Retrospective Cross-Section Research. Front Public Health 2022; 9:727132. [PMID: 35223754 PMCID: PMC8873521 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.727132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives Vitamin D status is closely related to blood glucose and bone metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Vitamin D affects bone density and bone metabolism, leading to osteopenia and osteoporosis. Insulin resistance increases the risk of osteoporosis in patients with T2DM. Our previous studies have shown a negative correlation between insulin resistance and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. The aim of the present study was to determine the association between vitamin D status and insulin resistance and bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. Subjects and Methods A retrospective cross-section research was carried out among 109 non-osteoporosis patients with T2DM. Their fasting blood glucose (FBG), 25(OH)D, fasting blood insulin (FINS), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum creatinine (SCr), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), homeostatic model estimates of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and calcium-phosphorus product were measured routinely. Results Both in men and women, 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with BALP (β = −0. 369, p ≤ 0.001)and HOMA-IR (β = −0.349, p ≤ 0.001), and positively associated with IGF-1(β = 0.672, p ≤ 0.05). There was a negative correlation between HOMA-IR and IGF-1 (β = −0.464, p ≤ 0.001), and a positive correlation between HOMA-IR and BALP (β = 0.344, p ≤ 0.05), adjusted by confounding factors. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that 25(OH)D concentrations are negatively correlated with insulin resistance and bone turnover. Insulin resistance increases with the decrease of 25(OH)D concentration, which can enhance bone turnover, and increases the risk of osteoporosis in non-osteoporosis patients with T2DM. This is the first study to clarify the relationship between serum vitamin D status, insulin resistance, and bone metabolism in non-osteoporosis patients with T2DM in China.

Seo YG, Kim Y, Lim H, Kang MJ, Park KH. Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition According to Obesity Status in Children. Endocr Pract 2021; 27:983-991. [PMID: 34144210 DOI: 10.1016/j.eprac.2021.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between body composition, metabolic parameters, and bone mineral density (BMD) according to sex and the degree of obesity in children and adolescents. METHODS A total of 236 subjects with obesity, aged 10 to 15 years (36.9% girls), were enrolled. Obesity was classified into simple (SmOb) and extreme (ExOb) forms. The BMD of the total body, less head, was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and the BMD z-score was used to evaluate the relationship of body composition with metabolic parameters. RESULTS BMD z-scores were higher in subjects with ExOb than in those with SmOb. Lean mass index (LMI), body mass index z-score, and vitamin D intake showed positive relationships, whereas percentage of body fat and serum leptin level showed negative relationships with BMD z-scores in boys. In girls, LMI and body mass index z-score showed positive relationships with BMD z-scores. In multivariable linear regressions, serum leptin level showed negative relationships with BMD z-score, only in boys. In addition, positive relationships of LMI and negative relationships of percentage of body fat with BMD z-scores were observed in subjects with SmOb. However, positive relationships of LMI with BMD z-scores were attenuated in subjects with ExOb. CONCLUSION High BMD appears to be positively associated with lean mass in children and adolescents with obesity, which might be a natural protective mechanism to withstand the excess weight. However, excessive body fat appears to be negatively associated with BMD, which might attenuate the positive relationship between lean mass and BMD in subjects with ExOb.

Sex differences in the relationship between body composition and biomarkers of bone and fat metabolism in obese boys and girls. Bone Rep 2021; 14:101087. [PMID: 34026951 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.101087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Whether a body mass derived from extremes of body weight is beneficial to bone remains controversial. When fat accumulation reaches excessive levels and induces changes in hormonal factors and adipokines, it may affect bone accrual during growth. This study evaluated the relationships between body composition and key biomarkers in relation to bone and fat metabolism in obese Thai boys and girls. Subjects aged 12-14 years were grouped by body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (%Fat). Body composition and heel bone Z-score and speed of sound (SOS) were assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis and calcaneus bone densitometry, respectively. Serum osteocalcin (OC), adiponectin, leptin, insulin, and 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) were measured by ELISA. Their correlations were analyzed and compared between sexes. The results showed that the obese groups had no differences in mean BMIs and body composition, except that boys had more muscle mass than girls. Boys had lower serum OC and leptin levels than girls. Positive correlations of leptin with %Fat and FM were found in both sexes, while positive associations of %Fat with OC and insulin were found only in boys. Bone Z-score and SOS positively correlated with OC in boys but negatively correlated with 25(OH)D in girls. When classifying the obese group using %Fat ≥25, the positive correlations between %Fat and insulin and the negative associations between %Fat and adiponectin in girls were more pronounced. These results suggest that the associations of body fat and bone parameters with OC, adiponectin, 25(OH)D, and insulin were sex-specific, with greater clarity when %Fat was used instead of BMI to classify obesity.

Abstract
The level of serum lipids is associated with bone mineral density (BMD), an important skeletal trait. Yet the causality has not been determined. Here we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to test potential causal links between BMD and lipid profile, i.e., low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDC-c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). We observed causal effect of LDL-c, TC and TG to BMD, and reversely the effect of BMD to HDL-c. We further explored the effect of body mass index (BMI) in these causalities and found that the effect of LDL-c, TC and TG to BMD is independent of BMI. Our findings provided useful information in the clinical relevance of blood lipids on BMD variation and osteoporosis risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE Insulin resistance may exert a negative influence on bone mass in childhood and adolescence. The objective was to assess the association between insulin resistance and total body less head (TBLH) bone mineral content (BMC) and to investigate whether body composition, physical activity or osteocalcin levels may influence this association. METHODS A longitudinal study with follow-up over more than 6 years was performed and included 562 apparently healthy participants with a mean age of 9.6 years at baseline. Participants underwent DXA scanning at baseline. At the two follow-ups, participants had performed another DXA scanning, had blood samples taken for fasting insulin, glucose and osteocalcin and had physical activity measured with an accelerometer. HOMA-IR was calculated as an index of insulin resistance. RESULTS HOMA-IR was negatively associated with TBLH BMC in boys at follow-ups (β = -31.4, p < 0.001) after adjustment for maturity, height, bone area, and baseline level of TBLH BMC. The negative association remained almost unchanged after further adjustments for body composition and physical activity. No association between HOMA-IR and TBLH BMC was found in girls. CONCLUSION Insulin resistance may be detrimental for bone development through puberty in boys independent of body composition and the level of physical activity.
