Negative
effect of leptin on bone mass in type 1 diabetes |
| |
We conclude that not metabolic control of diabetes,
but serum leptin has a negative effect on bone density in young
patients with type 1 diabetes. This negative effect of leptin on
bone density maybe, in part, due to deficiency of endogenous insulin
secretion in these patients (Acta Diabetologica) |
