Serum ferritin transferrin saturation were independently associated with pre-diabetes among U.S. adults

Oral Presentations - Endocrinology and Metabolism: no. C075OBJECTIVE: Increased serum ferritin concentrations have been reported to be associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. However, the exact mechanism leading to this association is not well understood. Previous reports have attributed this association to subclinical iron overload. In our study, we examined the correlation of three markers of iron homeostasis with glucose metabolism and the risk of pre-diabetes among U.S. adults without iron deficiency and chronic kidney disease …postprin

The positive association of lignan and flavonoid intakes with bone mineral density (BMD) in men from Southern China

OBJECTIVE(S): There have been promising data showing that phytoestrogens may prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women. However there has been little data on the skeletal effect of specific phytoestrogens among young men and premenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between phytoestrogens intake (isoflavones, coumestrol, flavonoids and lignans) and BMD at femoral neck and spine in a cohort of Southern Chinese young men and wompostprin

The relationship between glucose metabolism, metabolic syndrome, and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase: a structural equation modelling approach

PosterINTRODUCTION: Serum alkaline phosphatase plays a role in vascular calcification. It is found in various tissues, whereas bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) more specifically reflects mineral metabolism. The relationship of serum alkaline phosphatase (total and bone-specific) with diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which are two major risk factors of vascular calcification, is largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the relationships between glucose metabolism, components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), and alkaline …published_or_final_versio
