Abstract
It is unclear if AGEs are involved in the bone fragility of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We evaluated whether skin AGEs by skin autofluorescence and serum AGEs (pentosidine, carboxymethyl-lysine [CML]) are independently associated with BMD by DXA (lumbar spine, hip, distal radius), trabecular bone score (TBS), serum bone turnover markers (BTMs: CTX; P1NP; osteocalcin), and sclerostin in participants with and without T1D. Linear regression models were used, with interaction terms to test effect modification by T1D status. In participants with T1D, correlations between skin and serum AGEs as well as between AGEs and 3-year HbA1C were evaluated using Spearman's correlations. Data are mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). We included individuals who participated in a cross-sectional study and had BMD and TBS assessment (106 T1D/65 controls, 53.2% women, age 43 ± 15 yr, BMI 26.6 ± 5.5 kg/m2). Participants with T1D had diabetes for 27.6 ± 12.3 yr, a mean 3-yr HbA1C of 7.5 ± 0.9% and skin AGEs of 2.15 ± 0.54 arbitrary units. A subgroup of 65 T1D/57 controls had BTMs and sclerostin measurements, and those with T1D also had serum pentosidine (16.8[8.2-32.0] ng/mL) and CML [48.0 ± 16.8] ng/mL) measured. Femoral neck BMD, TBS, and BTMs were lower, while sclerostin levels were similar in participants with T1D vs controls. T1D status did not modify the associations between AGEs and bone outcomes. Skin AGEs were significantly associated with total hip and femoral neck BMD, TBS, BTMs, and sclerostin before, but not after, adjustment for confounders. Serum AGEs were not associated with any bone outcome. There were no significant correlations between skin and serum AGEs or between AGEs and 3-yr HbA1C. In conclusion, skin and serum AGEs are not independently associated with BMD, TBS, BTMs, and sclerostin in participants with relatively well-controlled T1D and participants without diabetes.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and oxidative stress, enhanced in diabetes and aging, result in excessive accumulation of advanced glycation and glycoxidation end products (AGEs/AGOEs) in bone. AGEs/AGOES are considered to be "the missing link" in explaining increased skeletal fragility with diabetes, aging, and osteoporosis where increased fracture risk cannot be solely explained by bone mass and/or fall incidences. AGEs/AGOEs disrupt bone turnover and deteriorate bone quality through alterations of organic matrix (collagen and non-collagenous proteins), mineral, and water content. AGEs and AGOEs are also associated with bone fragility in other conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, circadian rhythm disruption, and cancer. This review explains how AGEs and AGOEs accumulate in bone and impact bone quality and bone fracture, and how AGES/AGOEs are being targeted in preclinical and clinical investigations for inhibition or removal, and for prediction and management of diabetic, osteoporotic and insufficiency fractures.

Abstract
Age and diabetes have long been known to induce an oxidative reaction between glucose and collagen, leading to the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) cross-links in collagenous tissues. More recently, AGEs content has been related to loss of bone quality, independent of bone mass, and increased fracture risk with aging and diabetes. Loss of bone quality is mostly attributed to changes in material properties, structural organization, or cellular remodeling. Though all these factors play a role in bone fragility disease, some common recurring patterns can be found between diabetic and age-related bone fragility. The main pattern we will discuss in this viewpoint is the increase of fibrillar collagen stiffness and loss of collagen-induced plasticity with AGE accumulation. This study focused on recent related experimental studies and discusses the correlation between fluorescent AGEs content at the molecular and fibrillar scales, collagen deformation mechanisms at the nanoscale, and resistance to bone fracture at the macroscale.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects the functional behavior of vertebra bone by altering its structural and mechanical properties. The vertebral bones are responsible to carry the body weight and it remains under prolonged constant load which results to viscoelastic deformation. The effect of T2D on the viscoelastic behavior of vertebral bone is not well explored yet. In this study, the effects of T2D on the creep and stress relaxation behavior of vertebral bone are investigated. Also, this study established a correlation between T2D associated alteration in macromolecular structure and viscoelastic behavior of vertebra. In this study T2D female rat SD model was used. The obtained results demonstrated a significant reduction in the amount of creep strain (p ≤ 0.05) and stress relaxation (p ≤ 0.01) in T2D specimens than the control. Also, the creep rate was found significantly lower in T2D specimens. On the other hand, molecular structural parameters such as mineral-to-matrix ratio (control vs T2D: 2.93 ± 0.78 vs 3.72 ± 0.53; p = 0.02), and non-enzymatic cross link ratio (NE-xL) (control vs T2D: 1.53 ± 0.07 vs 3.84 ± 0.20; p = 0.01) were found significantly altered in T2D specimens. Pearson linear correlation tests show a significant correlation; between creep rate and NE-xL (r = -0.94, p < 0.01), and between stress relaxation and NE-xL (r = -0.946, p < 0.01). Overall this study explored the understanding about the disease associated alteration in viscoelastic response of vertebra and its correlation with macromolecular composition which can help to understand the disease related impaired functioning of the vertebrae body.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is a disorder of bone metabolism that affects virtually all patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes including fractures, cardiovascular events, and death. In this study, we showed that hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), a transcription factor mostly expressed in the liver, is also expressed in bone, and that osseous HNF4α expression was dramatically reduced in patients and mice with ROD. Osteoblast-specific deletion of Hnf4α resulted in impaired osteogenesis in cells and mice. Using multi-omics analyses of bones and cells lacking or overexpressing Hnf4α1 and Hnf4α2, we showed that HNF4α2 is the main osseous Hnf4α isoform that regulates osteogenesis, cell metabolism, and cell death. As a result, osteoblast-specific overexpression of Hnf4α2 prevented bone loss in mice with CKD. Our results showed that HNF4α2 is a transcriptional regulator of osteogenesis, implicated in the development of ROD.

Abstract
Individuals with Type-2 Diabetes (T2D) have an increased risk of bone fracture, without a reduction in bone mineral density. It is hypothesised that the hyperglycaemic state caused by T2D forms an excess of Advanced Glycated End-products (AGEs) in the organic matrix of bone, which are thought to stiffen the collagen network and lead to impaired mechanical properties. However, the mechanisms are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the geometrical, structural and material properties of diabetic cortical bone during the development and progression of T2D in ZDF (fa/fa) rats at 12-, 26- and 46-weeks of age. Longitudinal bone growth was impaired as early as 12-weeks of age and by 46-weeks bone size was significantly reduced in ZDF (fa/fa) rats versus controls (fa/+). Diabetic rats had significant structural deficits, such as bending rigidity, ultimate moment and energy-to-failure measured via three-point bend testing. Tissue material properties, measured by taking bone geometry into account, were altered as the disease progressed, with significant reductions in yield and ultimate strength for ZDF (fa/fa) rats at 46-weeks. FTIR analysis on cortical bone powder demonstrated that the tissue material deficits coincided with changes in tissue composition, in ZDF (fa/fa) rats with long-term diabetes having a reduced carbonate:phosphate ratio and increased acid phosphate content when compared to age-matched controls, indicative of an altered bone turnover process. AGE accumulation, measured via fluorescent assays, was higher in the skin of ZDF (fa/fa) rats with long-term T2D, bone AGEs did not differ between strains and neither AGEs correlated with bone strength. In conclusion, bone fragility in the diabetic ZDF (fa/fa) rats likely occurs through a multifactorial mechanism influenced initially by impaired bone growth and development and proceeding to an altered bone turnover process that reduces bone quality and impairs biomechanical properties as the disease progresses.

Abstract
PURPOSE The sole determination of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) is insufficient to evaluate overall bone integrity. The accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) stiffens and embrittles collagen fibers. Despite the important role of AGEs in bone aging, the relationship between AGEs and vBMD is poorly understood. We hypothesized that an accumulation of AGEs, a marker of impaired bone quality, is related to decreased vBMD. METHODS Prospectively collected data of 127 patients undergoing lumbar fusion were analyzed. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) measurements were performed at the lumbar spine. Intraoperative bone biopsies were obtained and analyzed with confocal fluorescence microscopy for fluorescent AGEs, both trabecular and cortical. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated to examine relationships between vBMD and fAGEs, stratified by sex. Multivariable linear regression analysis with adjustments for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), race, diabetes mellitus and HbA1c was used to investigate associations between vBMD and fAGEs. RESULTS One-hundred and twenty-seven patients (51.2% female, 61.2 years, BMI of 28.7 kg/m2) with 107 bone biopsies were included in the final analysis, excluding patients on anti-osteoporotic drug therapy. In the univariate analysis, cortical fAGEs increased with decreasing vBMD at (r = -0.301; p = 0.030), but only in men. In the multivariable analysis, trabecular fAGEs increased with decreasing vBMD after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, race, diabetes mellitus and HbA1c (β = 0.99;95%CI=(0.994,1.000); p = 0.04). CONCLUSION QCT-derived vBMD measurements were found to be inversely associated with trabecular fAGEs. Our results enhance the understanding of bone integrity by suggesting that spine surgery patients with decreased bone quantity may also have poorer bone quality.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and osteoporosis (OP) are major causes of morbidity and mortality that have arelevant health and economic burden. Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that both of these disorders are often associated with each other and that T2D patients have an increased risk of fracture, making bone an additional target of diabetes. As occurs for other diabetic complications, the increased accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and oxidative stress represent the major mechanisms explaining bone fragility in T2D. Both of these conditions directly and indirectly (through the promotion of microvascular complications) impair the structural ductility of bone and negatively affect bone turnover, leading to impaired bone quality, rather than decreased bone density. This makes diabetes-induced bone fragility remarkably different from other forms of OP and represents a major challenge for fracture risk stratification, since either the measurement of BMD or the use of common diagnostic algorithms for OP have a poor predictive value. We review and discuss the role of AGEs and oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of bone fragility in T2D, providing some indications on how to improve fracture risk prediction in T2D patients.

Abstract
Bone loss occurs in astronauts during long-term space flight, but the mechanisms are still unclear. We previously showed that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were involved in microgravity-induced osteoporosis. Here, we investigated the improvement effects of blocking AGEs formation on microgravity-induced bone loss by using the AGEs formation inhibitor, irbesartan. To achieve this objective, we used a tail-suspended (TS) rat model to simulate microgravity and treated the TS rats with 50 mg/kg/day irbesartan, as well as the fluorochrome biomarkers injected into rats to label dynamic bone formation. To assess the accumulation of AGEs, pentosidine (PEN), non-enzymatic cross-links (NE-xLR), and fluorescent AGEs (fAGEs) were identified in the bone; 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was analyzed for the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the bone. Meanwhile, bone mechanical properties, bone microstructure, and dynamic bone histomorphometry were tested for bone quality assessment, and Osterix and TRAP were immunofluorescences stained for the activities of osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells. Results showed AGEs increased significantly and 8-OHdG expression in bone showed an upward trend in TS rat hindlimbs. The bone quality (bone microstructure and mechanical properties) and bone formation process (dynamic bone formation and osteoblastic cells activities) were inhibited after tail-suspension, and showed a correlation with AGEs, suggesting the elevated AGEs contributed to the disused bone loss. After being treated with irbesartan, the increased AGEs and 8-OHdG expression were significantly inhibited, suggesting irbesartan may reduce ROS to inhibit dicarbonyl compounds, thus suppressing AGEs production after tail-suspension. The inhibition of AGEs can partially alter the bone remodeling process and improve bone quality. Both AGEs accumulation and bone alterations almost occurred in trabecular bone but not in cortical bone, suggesting AGEs effects on bone remodeling under microgravity are dependent on the biological milieu.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OC), an abundant non-collagenous protein in bone extracellular matrix, plays a vital role in both its biological and mechanical function. OC undergoes post-translational modification, such as glycation; however, it remains unknown whether glycation of OC affects bone's resistance to fracture. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the formation of pentosidine, an advanced glycation end-product (AGE) cross-link on mouse OC analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Next, we establish that the presence of OC in mouse bone matrix is associated with lower interlamellar separation (distance) and thicker bridges spanning the lamellae, both of which are critical for maintaining bone's structural integrity. Furthermore, to determine the impact of modification of OC by glycation on bone toughness, we glycated bone samples in vitro from wild-type (WT) and osteocalcin deficient (Oc-/-) mice, and compared the differences in total fluorescent AGEs and fracture toughness between the Oc -/- glycated and control mouse bones and the WT glycated and control mouse bones. We determined that glycation resulted in significantly higher AGEs in WT compared to Oc-/- mouse bones (delta-WT > delta-OC, p = 0.025). This observed change corresponded to a significant decrease in fracture toughness between WT and Oc-/- mice (delta-WT vs delta-OC, p = 0.018). Thus, we propose a molecular deformation and fracture mechanics model that corroborates our experimental findings and provides evidence to support a 37%-90% loss in energy dissipation of OC due to formation of pentosidine cross-link by glycation. We anticipate that our study will aid in elucidating the effects of a major non-collagenous bone matrix protein, osteocalcin, and its modifications on bone fragility and help identify potential therapeutic targets for maintaining skeletal health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a clear link between increasing age and meniscus degeneration, leading to increased injury, osteoarthritis (OA) progression, and often total knee replacement. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are non-enzymatic crosslinks and adducts that accumulate in collagen with age, altering tissue mechanics and cell function, ultimately leading to increased injury and inflammation. AGEs, both fluorescent and non-fluorescent, play a central role in age-related degradation of tissues throughout the body; however, little is known about their role in meniscus degeneration. The objective of this study was to characterize changes in aged OA menisci, specifically evaluating zonal AGE accumulation, to gain a better understanding of changes that may lead to age-related meniscal degeneration. METHOD Deidentified human menisci (N = 48, 52-84 years old) were obtained from subjects undergoing total knee replacement. Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) were assessed by gross morphology, confocal analysis, and biochemical assays. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), glycosaminoglycan (GAG), collagen, and AGE accumulation were compared with patient age, zonal region, and patient sex. RESULTS There were minimal changes in DNA, GAG, and collagen concentration with age or zone. However, collagen fraying and AGEs increased with age, with more AGEs accumulating in the meniscal horns compared to the central body and in male menisci compared to females. CONCLUSIONS Overall, this work provides greater insights into regional changes that occur in human menisci with age and OA. These results suggest AGEs may play a role in the degeneration of the meniscus, with AGEs being a possible target to reduce age-related tears, degeneration, and OA progression.

Increased Advanced Glycation Endproducts, Stiffness, and Hardness in Iliac Crest Bone From Postmenopausal Women With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Insulin. J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:261-277.

Abstract
Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a greater risk of bone fracture compared with those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). In contrast, individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) have a lower or similar risk of fracture. Our objective was to understand how progressive glycemic derangement affects advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) content, composition, and mechanical properties of iliac bone from postmenopausal women with NGT (n = 35, age = 65 ± 7 years, HbA1c = 5.8% ± 0.3%), IGT (n = 26, age = 64 ± 5 years, HbA1c = 6.0% ± 0.4%), and T2DM on insulin (n = 25, age = 64 ± 6 years, HbA1c = 9.1% ± 2.2%). AGEs were assessed in all samples using high-performance liquid chromatography to measure pentosidine and in NGT/T2DM samples using multiphoton microscopy to spatially resolve the density of fluorescent AGEs (fAGEs). A subset of samples (n = 14 NGT, n = 14 T2DM) was analyzed with nanoindentation and Raman microscopy. Bone tissue from the T2DM group had greater concentrations of (i) pentosidine versus IGT (cortical +24%, p = 0.087; trabecular +35%, p = 0.007) and versus NGT (cortical +40%, p = 0.003; trabecular +35%, p = 0.004) and (ii) fAGE cross-link density versus NGT (cortical +71%, p < 0.001; trabecular +44%, p < 0.001). Bone pentosidine content in the IGT group was lower than in the T2DM group and did not differ from the NGT group, indicating that the greater AGE content observed in T2DM occurs with progressive diabetes. Individuals with T2DM on metformin had lower cortical bone pentosidine compared with individuals not on metformin (-35%, p = 0.017). Cortical bone from the T2DM group was stiffer (+9%, p = 0.021) and harder (+8%, p = 0.039) versus the NGT group. Bone tissue AGEs, which embrittle bone, increased with worsening glycemic control assessed by HbA1c (Pen: R2 = 0.28, p < 0.001; fAGE density: R2 = 0.30, p < 0.001). These relationships suggest a potential mechanism by which bone fragility may increase despite greater tissue stiffness and hardness in individuals with T2DM; our results suggest that it occurs in the transition from IGT to overt T2DM. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Bone quality is increasingly being recognized in the assessment of fracture risk. Nonenzymatic collagen cross-linking with the accumulation of advanced glycation end products stiffens and embrittles collagen fibers thus increasing bone fragility. Echogenicity is an ultrasound (US) parameter that provides information regarding the skin collagen structure. We hypothesized that both skin and bone collagen degrade in parallel fashion. Prospectively collected data of 110 patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion was analyzed. Preoperative skin US measurements were performed in the lumbar region to assess dermal thickness and echogenicity. Intraoperative bone biopsies from the posterior superior iliac spine were obtained and analyzed with confocal fluorescence microscopy for fluorescent advanced glycation endproducts (fAGEs). Pearson's correlation was calculated to examine relationships between (1) US and fAGEs, and (2) age and fAGEs stratified by sex. Multivariable linear regression analysis with adjustments for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was used to investigate associations between US and fAGEs. One hundred and ten patients (51.9% female, 61.6 years, BMI 29.8 kg/m2 ) were included in the analysis. In the univariate analysis cortical and trabecular fAGEs decreased with age, but only in women (cortical: r = -0.32, p = 0.031; trabecular: r = -0.32; p = 0.031). After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, diabetes mellitus, and HbA1c, lower dermal (β = 1.01; p = 0.012) and subcutaneous (β = 1.01; p = 0.021) echogenicity increased with increasing cortical fAGEs and lower dermal echogenicity increased with increasing trabecular fAGEs (β = 1.01; p = 0.021). This is the first study demonstrating significant associations between skin US measurements and in vivo bone quality parameters in lumbar fusion patients. As a noninvasive assessment tool, skin US measurements might be incorporated into future practice to investigate bone quality in spine surgery patients.

Abstract
Overweightness and obesity in adolescents are epidemics linked to chronic low-grade inflammation and elevated fracture risk. The increased fracture risk observed in overweight/obese adolescence contrasts the traditional concept that high body mass is protective against fracture, and thus highlights the need to determine why weight gain becomes detrimental to fracture during growth and maturity. The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE) is a central inflammatory regulator that can influence bone metabolism. It remains unknown how RAGE removal impacts skeletal fragility in overweightness/obesity, and whether increased fracture risk in adolescents could result from low-grade inflammation deteriorating bone quality. We characterized the multiscale structural, mechanical, and chemical properties of tibiae extracted from adolescent C57BL/6J (WT) and RAGE null (KO) mice fed either low-fat (LF) or high-fat (HF) diet for 12 weeks starting at 6 weeks of age using micro-computed tomography, strength, Raman spectroscopy, and nanoindentation. Overweight/obese WT HF mice possessed degraded mineral-crystal quality and increased matrix glycoxidation in the form of pentosidine and carboxymethyl-lysine, with HF diet in females only showing reduced cortical surface expansion and TMD independently of RAGE ablation. Furthermore, in contrast to males, HF diet in females led to more material damage and plastic deformation. RAGE KO mitigated glycoxidative matrix accumulation, preserved mineral quantity, and led to increased E/H ratio in females. Taken together, these results highlight the complex, multi-scale and sex-dependent relationships between bone quality and function under overweightness, and identifies RAGE-controlled glycoxidation as a target to potentially preserve matrix quality and mechanical integrity.

Abstract
PURPOSE In connective tissues there is a clear link between increasing age and degeneration. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are believed to play a central role. AGEs are sugar-induced non-enzymatic crosslinks which accumulate in collagen with age and diabetes, altering tissue mechanics and cellular function. Despite ample correlative evidence linking collagen glycation to tissue degeneration, little is known how AGEs impact cell-matrix interactions, limiting therapeutic options. One reason for this limited understanding is that AGEs are typically induced using high concentrations of ribose which decrease cell viability, making it impossible to investigate cell-matrix interactions. The objective of this study was to develop a system to trigger AGE accumulation while maintaining cell viability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using cell-seeded high density collagen gels, we investigated the effect of two systems for AGE induction, ribose at low concentrations (30, 100, and 200 mM) over 15 days of culture and riboflavin (0.25 and 0.75 mM) induced with blue light for 40 seconds (riboflavin-465 nm). RESULTS We found ribose and riboflavin-465 nm treatment produces fluorescent AGE quantities which match and/or exceed human fluorescent AGE levels for various tissues, ages, and diseases, without affecting cell viability or metabolism. Interestingly, a 40 second treatment of riboflavin-465 nm produced similar levels of fluorescent AGEs as 3 days of 100 mM ribose treatment. CONCLUSIONS Riboflavin-465 nm is a promising method to trigger AGEs on demand in vivo or in vitro without impacting cell viability and offers potential for unraveling the mechanism of AGEs in age and diabetes related tissue damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes is associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk, but little is known regarding the effects of diabetes-related factors on BMD. We assessed whether these factors are associated with lower hip BMD among older adults with type 1 diabetes. METHODS This cross-sectional study was embedded in a long-term observational study, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study (EDIC), a cohort of participants with type 1 diabetes, who were originally enrolled in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), and were followed-up for more than 30 years at 27 sites in the USA and Canada. All active EDIC participants were eligible except if they were pregnant, weighed above the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanner limit, had an implanted neurostimulator, or were not willing to participate. The primary study outcome was total hip BMD. Hip, spine, and radius BMD and trabecular bone score (TBS) were measured with DXA at an annual EDIC visit (2017-19). Time-weighted mean HbA1c, kidney disease, and peripheral neuropathy were measured annually during EDIC, and retinopathy was measured every 4 years. Skin intrinsic fluorescence, a measure of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and cardiac autonomic neuropathy were assessed once (2009-10) during EDIC. FINDINGS 1147 of the 1441 participants who were enrolled in the DCCT trial remained active EDIC participants at the start of this cross-sectional study. Between Sept 20, 2017, and Sept 19, 2019, 1094 of 1147 participants were screened for the EDIC Skeletal Health study. 1058 participants completed at least one of a set of DXA scans and were included in the analysis. 47·8% were women and 52·2% were men, 96·6% were White and 3·4% were of other race or ethnicity. The mean age of participants was 59·2 years (SD 6·7). Higher mean HbA1c, higher skin intrinsic fluorescence, and kidney disease (but not retinopathy or neuropathy) were independently associated with a lower total hip BMD. Total hip BMD differed by -10·7 mg/cm2 (95% CI -19·6 to -1·7) for each 1% increase in mean HbA1c, -20·5 mg/cm2 (-29·9 to -11·0) for each 5 unit higher skin intrinsic fluorescence, and -51·7 mg/cm2 (-80·6 to -22·7) in the presence of kidney disease. Similar associations were found for femoral neck and ultra-distal radius BMD, but not for lumbar spine BMD or TBS. INTERPRETATION Poorer glycaemic control, AGE accumulation, and kidney disease are independent risk factors for lower hip BMD in older adults with type 1 diabetes. Maintenance of glycaemic control and prevention of kidney disease might reduce bone loss and ultimately fractures in this population. Osteoporosis screening might be particularly important in people with these risk factors. Further research to identify AGE blockers could benefit skeletal health.

Abstract
Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of fragility fracture despite exhibiting normal to high bone mineral density (BMD). Conditions arising from T2DM, such as reduced bone turnover and alterations in microarchitecture, may contribute to skeletal fragility by influencing bone morphology and microdamage accumulation. The objectives of this study were (i) to characterize the effect of T2DM on microdamage quantity and morphology in cancellous bone, and (ii) relate the accumulation of microdamage to the cancellous microarchitecture. Cancellous specimens from the femoral neck were collected during total hip arthroplasty (T2DM: n = 22, age = 65 ± 9 years, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] = 7.00% ± 0.98%; non-diabetic [non-DM]: n = 25, age = 61 ± 8 years, HbA1c = 5.50% ± 0.4%), compressed to 3% strain, stained with lead uranyl acetate to isolate microdamage, and scanned with micro-computed tomography (μCT). Individual trabeculae segmentation was used to isolate rod-like and plate-like trabeculae and their orientations with respect to the loading axis. The T2DM group trended toward a greater BV/TV (+27%, p = 0.07) and had a more plate-like trabecular architecture (+8% BVplates , p = 0.046) versus non-DM specimens. Rods were more damaged relative to their volume compared to plates in the non-DM group (DVrods /BVrods versus DVplates /BVplates : +49%, p < 0.0001), but this difference was absent in T2DM specimens. Longitudinal rods were more damaged in the non-DM group (DVlongitudinal rods /BVlongitudinal rods : +73% non-DM versus T2DM, p = 0.027). Total damage accumulation (DV/BV) and morphology (DS/DV) did not differ in T2DM versus non-DM specimens. These results provide evidence that cancellous microarchitecture does not explain fracture risk in T2DM, pointing to alterations in material matrix properties. In particular, cancellous bone from men with T2DM may have an attenuated ability to mitigate microdamage accumulation through sacrificial rods. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
CONTEXT Fracture risk is underestimated in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). OBJECTIVE To investigate the longitudinal relationship of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and common medications on fracture risk in people with T2D. METHODS This retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted using de-identified claims and electronic health record data obtained from the OptumLabs Data Warehouse for the period January 1, 2007, to September 30, 2015. For each individual, the study was conducted within a 2-year HbA1c observation period and a 2-year fracture follow-up period. A cohort of 157 439 individuals with T2D [age ≥ 55 years with mean HbA1c value ≥ 6%] were selected from 4 018 250 US Medicare Advantage/Commercial enrollees with a T2D diagnosis. All fractures and fragility fractures were measured. RESULTS With covariates adjusted, poor glycemic control in T2D individuals was associated with an 29% increase of all fracture risk, compared with T2D individuals who had adequate glycemic control (HR: 1.29; 95% CI, 1.22-1.36). Treatment with metformin (HR: 0.88; 95% CI, 0.85-0.92) and DPP4 inhibitors (HR: 0.93; 95% CI, 0.88-0.98) was associated with a reduced all fracture risk, while insulin (HR: 1.26; 95% CI, 1.21-1.32), thiazolidinediones (HR: 1.23; 95% CI, 1.18-1.29), and meglitinides (HR: 1.12; 95% CI, 1.00-1.26) were associated with an increased all fracture risk (All P value < 0.05). Bisphosphonates were associated similarly with increased fracture risk in the T2D and nondiabetic groups. CONCLUSION Longitudinal 2-year HbA1c is independently associated with elevated all fracture risk in T2D individuals during a 2-year follow-up period. Metformin and DPP4 inhibitors can be used for management of T2D fracture risk.

Abstract
Accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) in bone alters collagen structure and function. Fluorescent AGEs are associated with fractures but less is known regarding non-fluorescent AGEs. We examined associations of carboxy-methyl-lysine (CML), with incident clinical and prevalent vertebral fractures by type 2 diabetes (T2D) status, in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition cohort of older adults. Incident clinical fractures and baseline vertebral fractures were assessed. Cox regression was used to analyze the associations between serum CML and clinical fracture incidence, and logistic regression for vertebral fracture prevalence. At baseline, mean ± standard deviation (SD) age was 73.7 ± 2.8 and 73.6 ± 2.9 years in T2D (n = 712) and non-diabetes (n = 2332), respectively. Baseline CML levels were higher in T2D than non-diabetes (893 ± 332 versus 771 ± 270 ng/mL, p < 0.0001). In multivariate models, greater CML was associated with higher risk of incident clinical fracture in T2D (hazard ratio [HR] 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-1.79 per 1-SD increase in log CML) but not in non-diabetes (HR 1.03; 95% CI, 0.94-1.13; p for interaction = 0.001). This association was independent of bone mineral density (BMD), glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c), weight, weight loss, smoking, cystatin-C, and medication use. CML was not significantly associated with the odds of prevalent vertebral fractures in either group. In conclusion, higher CML levels are associated with increased risk of incident clinical fractures in T2D, independent of BMD. These results implicate CML in the pathogenesis of bone fragility in diabetes. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1013397. [PMID: 36578954 PMCID: PMC9790927 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1013397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the quantitative association between advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and adjusted FRAX by rheumatoid arthritis (FRAX-RA) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. The optimal cutoff value of AGEs was also explored, which was aimed at demonstrating the potential value of AGEs on evaluating osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal T2D patients. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study including 366 postmenopausal participants (180 T2D patients [DM group] and 186 non-T2D individuals [NDM group]). All the subjects in each group were divided into three subgroups according to BMD. Physical examination, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and serum indicators (including serum AGEs, glycemic parameters, bone turnover markers and inflammation factors) were examined. The relationship between FRAX-RA, serum laboratory variables, and AGEs were explored. The optimal cutoff value of AGEs to predict the risk of osteoporotic fracture was also investigated. RESULTS Adjusting the FRAX values with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of T2D patients reached a significantly increased MOF-RA and an increasing trend of HF-RA. AGEs level was higher in the DM group compared to the NDMs, and was positively correlated with MOF-RA (r=0.682, P<0.001) and HF-RA (r=0.677, P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve was 0.804 (P<0.001), and the optimal AGEs cut-off value was 4.156mmol/L. Subgroup analysis for T2D patients revealed an increase in TGF-β, IL-6 and SCTX in the osteoporosis group, while a decreased PINP in the osteoporosis group compared to the other two subgroups. AGEs were positively associated with FBG, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, S-CTX, IL-6 and TGF-β in T2D patients, and negatively associated with PINP. CONCLUSIONS RA-adjusted FRAX is a relevant clinical tool in evaluating fracture risk of postmenopausal T2D patients. Our study analyzed the relationship between AGEs and FRAX-RA, and explored the threshold value of AGEs for predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal T2D patients. AGEs were also associated with serum bone turnover markers and inflammation factors, indicating that the increasing level of AGEs in postmenopausal T2D patients accelerated the expression of inflammatory factors, which led to bone metabolism disorders and a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures.

Abstract
As both anabolic and anti-catabolic osteoporosis drugs affect bone formation and resorption processes, they may contribute to bone's overall mechanical behavior by altering the quality of the bone matrix. We used an ovariectomized rat model and a novel fracture mechanics approach to investigate whether treatment with an anabolic (parathyroid hormone) or anti-catabolic (alendronate) osteoporosis drugs will alter the organic and mineral matrix components and consequently cortical bone fracture toughness. Ovariectomized (at 5 months age) rats were treated with either parathyroid hormone or alendronate at low and high doses for 6 months (age 6–12 months). Specifically, treatment groups included untreated ovariectomized controls (n = 9), high-dose alendronate (n = 10), low-dose alendronate (n = 9), high-dose parathyroid hormone (n = 10), and low-dose parathyroid hormone (n = 9). After euthanasia, cortical microbeams from the lateral quadrant were extracted, notched, and tested in 3-point bending to measure fracture toughness. Portions of the bone were used to measure changes in the 1) organic matrix through quantification of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and non-collagenous proteins, and 2) mineral matrix through assessment of mineral crystallinity. Compared to the ovariectomized group, rats treated with high doses of parathyroid hormone and alendronate had significantly increased cortical bone fracture toughness, which corresponded primarily to increased non-collagenous proteins while there was no change in AGEs. Additionally, low-dose PTH treatment increased matrix crystallinity and decreased AGE levels. In summary, ovariectomized rats treated with pharmaceutical drugs had increased non-collagenous matrix proteins and improved fracture toughness compared to controls. Further investigation is required for different doses and longer treatment periods. Alendronate increases non-collagenous proteins and improves fracture toughness. Parathyroid hormone also increases collagen maturity and mineral crystallinity. Both treatments minimize accumulation of advanced glycation end-products.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is an increasingly prevalent disease with numerous comorbidities including many in the spine. T2D is strongly linked with vertebral fractures, intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, and severe chronic spinal pain. Yet the causative mechanism for these musculoskeletal impairments remains unclear. The chronic hyperglycemic state in T2D promotes the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in tissues, and the accumulation of AGEs may play a role in musculoskeletal complications by modifying the extracellular matrix, impairing cellular homeostasis, and perpetuating an inflammatory cascade via its receptor (RAGE). The AGE and RAGE associated alterations in extracellular matrix composition and morphological features of the vertebral bodies and IVDs are likely contributors to the incidence and severity of spinal pathologies in T2D. This review will broadly examine the effects of AGEs on tissues in the spine in the context of T2D, with an emphasis on the changes in the vertebrae and the IVD. Along with the clinical and epidemiological findings, we will provide an overview of preclinical rodent models of T2D that exhibit deficits in the IVD and vertebral bone. Elucidating the role of AGEs and RAGE will be crucial for understanding the disease mechanisms and translation therapies of musculoskeletal pathologies in T2D.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk of fracture, often despite normal bone density. This observation suggests deficits in bone quality in the setting of abnormal glucose homeostasis. The goal of this article is to review recent developments in our understanding of how advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are incorporated into the skeleton with resultant deleterious effects on bone health and structural integrity in patients with T2D. RECENT FINDINGS The adverse effects of skeletal AGE accumulation on bone remodeling and the ability of the bone to deform and absorb energy prior to fracture have been demonstrated both at the bench as well as in small human studies; however, questions remain as to how these findings might be better explored in large, population-based investigations. SUMMARY Hyperglycemia drives systemic, circulating AGE formation with subsequent accumulation in the bone tissue. In those with T2D, studies suggest that AGEs diminish fracture resistance, though larger clinical studies are needed to better define the direct role of longstanding AGE accumulation on bone strength in humans as well as to motivate potential interventions to reverse or disrupt skeletal AGE deposition with the goal of fracture prevention.

Abstract
Diabetic neuroarthropathy (DNOAP, Charcot's foot) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, the genesis of which is not fully understood. In most cases, this pathology is diagnosed late, which leads to the development of severe deformities of the foot, up to the loss of support ability of the limb. There is no single hypothesis for the formation of Charcot's foot, but there are factors predisposing to its development, as well as a few likely provoking events. Excessive formation and accumulation of end products of glycation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of this complication of diabetes. End products of glycation (AGE) are a variety of compounds formed as a result of a non-enzymatic reaction between carbohydrates and free amino groups of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. There are various factors that lead to the accumulation of AGE in the human body. Allocate endogenous and exogenous factors. The former include certain diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, renal failure, which accelerate glycation processes. Exogenous factors leading to the formation of lipo-oxidation and glyco-oxidation products include tobacco smoke and prolonged heat treatment of food.This review provides information on the role of glycation end products in the development and progression of complications in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher bone fracture risk than patients without diabetes. Although denosumab (Dmab) is a potent bone resorption inhibitor, its efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of switching to Dmab from bisphosphonates (BP) or a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a three medical institutions, prospective, observational study for postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose T-score of femoral neck or lumbar spine bone mineral density was under -1.0 standard deviation, even after >6 months of BP or SERM administration. After obtaining consent, participants were treated for osteopenia/osteoporosis by either continuing BP (BP-BP group)/SERM (SERM-SERM group), or by switching to Dmab (BP-Dmab or SERM-Dmab groups). Changes in bone mineral density and bone metabolism marker levels were evaluated after 6 months. RESULTS A total of 48 patients were included in this study, and each group comprised 12 patients. No significant difference existed in baseline characteristics among the groups. The average age and glycated hemoglobin were 71 ± 8 years and 7.2 ± 0.9%, respectively. In the SERM-Dmab group, lumbar spine bone mineral density was significantly increased by 5.0% compared with the SERM-SERM group (P < 0.04). Serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b were significantly decreased in the BP-Dmab and SERM-Dmab groups compared with the BP-BP and SERM-SERM groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Switching to Dmab from BP or SERM is beneficial to prevent osteoporosis progression in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract
Aim Osteoporotic fractures negatively impact health-related quality of life and prognosis. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) impair bone quality and reduce bone strength. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between plasma levels of pentosidine, a surrogate marker for AGEs, and prevalent fractures in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Methods This cross-sectional study included 324 patients with CLD. Vertebral fractures were evaluated using lateral thoracolumbar spine radiographs. Information on prevalent fractures was obtained through a medical interview, medical records, and/or radiography. The patients were classified into low (L), intermediate (I), and high (H) pentosidine (Pen) groups based on baseline plasma pentosidine levels. Results Of the 324 patients, 105 (32.4%) had prevalent fractures. The prevalence of liver cirrhosis (LC) and prevalent fractures significantly increased stepwise with elevated pentosidine levels. The H-Pen group had the highest prevalence of LC (88.6%, p < 0.001) and prevalent fractures (44.3%, p = 0.007), whereas the L-Pen group had the lowest prevalence of LC (32.1%, p < 0.001) and prevalent fractures (21.0%, p = 0.007). Multiple logistic regression analysis identified pentosidine as a significant independent factor related to prevalent fractures (odds ratio = 1.069, p < 0.001). Pentosidine levels increased stepwise and correlated with liver disease severity. They were markedly high in patients with decompensated LC. In multiple regression analysis, liver functional reserve factors (total bilirubin, albumin, and prothrombin time-international normalized ratio) significantly and independently correlated with pentosidine levels. Conclusions Plasma pentosidine was significantly associated with prevalent fractures and liver functional reserve in patients with CLD. Pentosidine may be useful in predicting fracture risk and should be closely followed in CLD patients with advanced disease.

Abstract
Enzymatic biodegradation of demineralized collagen fibrils could lead to the reduction of resin-dentin bond strength. Therefore, methods that provide protection to collagen fibrils appear to be a pragmatic solution to improve bond strength. Thus, the study's aim was to investigate the effect of ribose (RB) on demineralized resin-dentin specimens in a modified universal adhesive. Dentin specimens were obtained, standardized and then bonded in vitro with a commercial multi-mode adhesive modified with 0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% RB, restored with resin composite, and tested for micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) after storage for 24 h in artificial saliva. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to analyze resin-dentin interface. Contact angles were analyzed using a contact angle analyzer. Depth of penetration of adhesives and nanoleakage were assessed using micro-Raman spectroscopy and silver tracing. Molecular docking studies were carried out using Schrodinger small-molecule drug discovery suite 2019-4. Matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) and cathepsin-K activities in RB-treated specimens were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The significance level was set at α = 0.05 for all statistical analyses. Incorporation of RB at 1% or 2% is of significant potential (p < 0.05) as it can be associated with improved wettability on dentin surfaces (0.5% had the lowest contact angle) as well as appreciable hybrid layer quality, and higher resin penetration. Improvement of the adhesive bond strength was shown when adding RB at 1% concentration to universal adhesive (p < 0.05). Modified adhesive increased the resistance of collagen degradation by inhibiting MMP-2 and cathepsin-K. A higher RB concentration was associated with improved results (p < 0.01). D-ribose showed favorable negative binding to collagen. In conclusion, universal adhesive using 1% or 2% RB helped in maintaining dentin collagen scaffold and proved to be successful in improving wettability, protease inhibition, and stability of demineralized dentin substrates. A more favorable substrate is created which, in turn, leads to a more stable dentin-adhesive bond. This could lead to more advantageous outcomes in a clinical scenario where a stable bond may result in longevity of the dental restoration.

Bone Tissue Composition in Postmenopausal Women Varies With Glycemic Control From Normal Glucose Tolerance to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Bone Miner Res 2021; 36:334-346. [PMID: 32970898 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The risk of fragility fracture increases for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), even after controlling for bone mineral density, body mass index, visual impairment, and falls. We hypothesize that progressive glycemic derangement alters microscale bone tissue composition. We used Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) imaging to analyze the composition of iliac crest biopsies from cohorts of postmenopausal women characterized by oral glucose tolerance testing: normal glucose tolerance (NGT; n = 35, age = 65 ± 7 years, HbA1c = 5.8 ± 0.3%), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT; n = 26, age = 64 ± 5 years, HbA1c = 6.0 ± 0.4%), and overt T2DM on insulin (n = 25, age = 64 ± 6 years, HbA1c = 9.13 ± 0.6). The distributions of cortical bone mineral content had greater mean values (+7%) and were narrower (-10%) in T2DM versus NGT groups (p < 0.05). The distributions of acid phosphate, an indicator of new mineral, were narrower in cortical T2DM versus NGT and IGT groups (-14% and -14%, respectively) and in trabecular NGT and IGT versus T2DM groups (-11% and -10%, respectively) (all p < 0.05). The distributions of crystallinity were wider in cortical NGT versus T2DM groups (+16%) and in trabecular NGT versus T2DM groups (+14%) (all p < 0.05). Additionally, bone turnover was lower in T2DM versus NGT groups (P1NP: -25%, CTx: -30%, ucOC: -24%). Serum pentosidine was similar across groups. The FTIR compositional and biochemical marker values of the IGT group typically fell between the NGT and T2DM group values, although the differences were not always statistically significant. In summary, worsening glycemic control was associated with greater mineral content and narrower distributions of acid phosphate, an indicator of new mineral, which together are consistent with observations of lower turnover; however, wider distributions of mineral crystallinity were also observed. A more mineralized, less heterogeneous tissue may affect tissue-level mechanical properties and in turn degrade macroscale skeletal integrity. In conclusion, these data are the first evidence of progressive alteration of bone tissue composition with worsening glycemic control in humans. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Mass spectrometric quantitation of AGEs and enzymatic crosslinks in human cancellous bone. Sci Rep 2020; 10:18774.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) deteriorate bone strength. Among over 40 species identified in vivo, AGEs other than pentosidine were roughly estimated as total fluorescent AGEs (tfAGEs) due to technical difficulties. Using LC-QqTOF-MS, we established a system that enabled the quantitation of five AGEs (CML, CEL, MG-H1, CMA and pentosidine) as well as two mature and three immature enzymatic crosslinks. Human bone samples were collected from 149 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Their clinical parameters were collected to investigate parameters that may be predictive of AGE accumulation. All the analytes were quantitated and showed significant linearity with high sensitivity and precision. The results showed that MG-H1 was the most abundant AGE, whereas pentosidine was 1/200–1/20-fold less abundant than the other four AGEs. The AGEs were significantly and strongly correlated with pentosidine, while showing moderate correlation with tfAGEs. Interestingly, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that gender contributed most to the accumulation of all the AGEs, followed by age, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b and HbA1c. Furthermore, the AGEs were negatively correlated with immature crosslinks. Mass spectrometric quantitation of AGEs and enzymatic crosslinks is crucial to a better understanding of ageing- and disease-related deterioration of bone strength.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a metabolic disease on the rise, is associated with substantial increase in bone fracture risk. Because individuals with T2DM have normal or high bone mineral density (BMD), osteodensitometric measurements of BMD do not predict fracture risk with T2DM. Here, we aim to identify the underlying mechanism of the diabetes-induced fracture risk using a high-resolution multi-scale analysis of human cortical bone with special emphasis on osseous cellular activity. Specifically, we show increased cortical porosity in a subgroup of T2DM individuals accompanied by changed mineralization patterns and glycoxidative damage to bone protein, caused by non-enzymatic glycation of bone by reducing sugar. Furthermore, the high porosity T2DM subgroup presents with higher regional mineralization heterogeneity and lower mineral maturity, whereas in the T2DM subgroup regional higher mineral-to-matrix ratio was observed. Both T2DM groups show significantly higher carboxymethyl-lysine accumulation. Our results show a dimorphic pattern of cortical bone reorganization in individuals afflicted with T2DM and hence provide new insight into the diabetic bone disease leading to increased fracture risk.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which bind to type 1 collagen in bone and skin, have been implicated in reduced bone quality. The AGE reader™ measures skin autofluorescence (SAF), which might be regarded as a marker of long-term accumulation of AGEs in tissues. We investigated the association of SAF with bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in the general population. We studied 2853 individuals from the Rotterdam Study with available SAF measurements (median age, 74.1 years) and with data on prevalent major osteoporotic (MOFs: hip, humerus, wrist, clinical vertebral) and vertebral fractures (VFs: clinical + radiographic Genant's grade 2 and 3). Radiographs were assessed 4 to 5 years before SAF. Multivariate regression models were performed adjusted for age, sex, BMI, creatinine, smoking status, and presence of diabetes and additionally for BMD with interaction terms to test for effect modification. Prevalence of MOFs was 8.5% and of VFs 7%. SAF had a curvilinear association with prevalent MOFs and VFs and therefore, age-adjusted, sex stratified SAF quartiles were used. The odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of the second, third and fourth quartiles of SAF for MOFs were as follows: OR 1.60 (95% CI, 1.08-2.35; p = .02); OR 1.30 (95% CI, 0.89-1.97; p = .20), and OR 1.40 (95% CI, 0.95-2.10; p = .09), respectively, with first (lowest) quartile as reference. For VFs the ORs were as follows: OR 1.69 (95% CI, 1.08-2.64; p = .02), OR 1.74(95% CI, 1.11-2.71; p = .01), and OR 1.73 (95% CI, 1.12-2.73; p = .02) for second, third, and fourth quartiles, respectively. When comparing the top three quartiles combined with the first quartile, the OR (95% CI) for MOFs was 1.43 (95% CI, 1.04-2.00; p = .03) and for VFs was 1.72 (95% CI, 1.18-2.53; p = .005). Additional adjustment for BMD did not change the associations. In conclusion, there is evidence of presence of a threshold of skin AGEs below which there is distinctly lower prevalence of fractures. Longitudinal analyses are needed to confirm our cross-sectional findings. © 2020 The Authors. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research published by American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
The human population is ageing globally, and the number of old people is increasing yearly. Diabetes is common in the elderly, and the number of diabetic patients is also increasing. Elderly and diabetic patients often have musculoskeletal disorder, which are associated with advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs are heterogeneous molecules derived from non-enzymatic products of the reaction of glucose or other sugar derivatives with proteins or lipids, and many different types of AGEs have been identified. AGEs are a biomarker for ageing and for evaluating disease conditions. Fluorescence, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chromatography, and immunological methods are commonly used to measure AGEs, but there is no standardized evaluation method because of the heterogeneity of AGEs. The formation of AGEs is irreversible, and they accumulate in tissue, eventually causing damage. AGE accumulation has been confirmed in neuromusculoskeletal tissues, including bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, where they adversely affect biomechanical properties by causing charge changes and forming cross-linkages. AGEs also bind to receptors, such as the receptor for AGEs (RAGE), and induce inflammation by intracellular signal transduction. These mechanisms cause many varied aging and diabetes-related pathological conditions, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, sarcopenia, tendinopathy, and neuropathy. Understanding of AGEs related pathomechanism may lead to develop novel methods for the prevention and therapy of such disorders which affect patients' quality of life. Herein, we critically review the current methodology used for detecting AGEs, and present potential mechanisms by which AGEs cause or exacerbate musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective treatment of osteoporosis is essential for improving morbidity and health-related quality of life in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. Denosumab has been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and decrease the risk of osteoporotic fracture in the general population. However, there are few reports evaluating the efficacy of denosumab in CLD patients.
AIM To investigated the effects and safety of denosumab in CLD patients with osteoporosis.
METHODS Sixty CLD patients with osteoporosis were subcutaneously administered denosumab once every 6 mo. The study period for evaluating efficacy and safety was 12 mo. Changes from baseline in BMD at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip were evaluated at 12 mo of denosumab treatment. Bone turnover and quality were assessed by measuring serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (bone resorption marker), serum total procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (bone formation maker), and plasma pentosidine (bone quality marker).
RESULTS Among the 405 CLD patients, 138 (34.1%) patients were diagnosed with osteoporosis; among these, 78 patients met the exclusion criteria and thus 60 patients were finally included in the present study. The median percentage changes from baseline to 12 mo of denosumab treatment in BMD at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip were +4.44%, +3.71%, and +4.03%, respectively. Denosumab significantly improved BMD, regardless of sex, patient age, and presence of liver cirrhosis. Serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide levels constantly and significantly declined after denosumab treatment (P < 0.001). Plasma pentosidine levels were also significantly lower at 12 mo of treatment (P = 0.010). No patients experienced fractures and moderate-to-severe adverse events, except for transient hypocalcemia.
CONCLUSION Denosumab treatment was safe and increased BMD, suppressed bone turnover, and improved bone quality marker levels in CLD patients with osteoporosis, irrespective of differences in baseline characteristics.

Abstract
Animal studies suggest a role for dietary advanced glycation end-products (dAGEs) in bone health, but human studies on dAGEs in relation to bone are lacking. We aimed to study whether dAGEs intake is associated with the parameters of bone strength namely, bone mineral density (BMD), prevalent vertebral (VFs), and major osteoporotic fractures (MOFs = hip, wrist, proximal humerus, and clinical VFs). 3949 participants (mean age 66.7 ± 10.5 years) were included from a Rotterdam study for whom Carboxymethyllysine (CML—a dietary AGE) was estimated from food frequency questionnaires combined with dAGEs databases. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were performed adjusting for age, sex, energy intake, dietary quality, physical activity, diabetes, smoking, renal function, and cohort effect and for models on fractures, subsequently for BMD. We observed no association of CML with BMD at both femoral neck (β = −0.006; p = 0.70) and lumbar spine (β = −0.013; p = 0.38). A higher intake of CML was linearly associated with VFs (Odds ratio, OR = 1.16, 95% CI (1.02–1.32) and a similar but non-significant trend with MOFs (OR = 1.12 (0.98–1.27). Additional adjustment for BMD did not change the associations. Our results imply a positive association between dietary intake of CML and VFs independent of BMD. Future studies are needed in order to elucidate whether associations found are causal.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have been suggested to contribute to bone fragility in type 2 diabetes (T2D). AGEs can be induced through in vitro sugar incubations but there is limited data on the effect of total fluorescent AGEs on mechanical properties of human cortical bone, which may have altered characteristics in T2D. Thus, to examine the effect of AGEs on bone directly in T2D patients with uncontrolled sugar levels, it is essential to first understand the fundamental mechanisms by studying the effects of controlled in vitro-induced AGEs on cortical bone mechanical behavior. Here, human cortical bone specimens from female cadaveric tibias (ages 57-87) were incubated in an in vitro 0.6 M ribose or vehicle solution (n = 20/group) for 10 days at 37°C, their mechanical properties were assessed by microindentation and fracture toughness tests, and induced AGE levels were quantified through a fluorometric assay. Results indicated that ribose-incubated bone had significantly more AGEs (+81%, p ≤ 0.005), lower elastic modulus assessed by traditional microindentation, and lower fracture toughness compared with vehicle controls. Furthermore, based on pooled data, increased AGEs were significantly correlated with deteriorated mechanical properties. The findings presented here show that the accumulation of AGEs allows for lower stiffness and increased ability to initiate a crack in human cortical bone. Statement of clinical significance: High sugar levels as in T2D results in deteriorated bone quality via AGE accumulation with a consequent weakening in bone's mechanical integrity. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM) have an increased risk of bone fracture compared to non-diabetic controls that is not explained by differences in BMD, BMI, or falls. Thus, bone tissue fracture resistance may be reduced in individuals with DM. The purpose of this review is to summarize work that analyzes the effects of T1DM and T2DM on bone tissue compositional and mechanical properties. RECENT FINDINGS Studies of clinical T2DM specimens revealed increased mineralization and advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) concentrations and significant relationships between mechanical performance and composition of cancellous bone. Specifically, in femoral cancellous tissue, compressive stiffness and strength increased with mineral content; and post-yield properties decreased with AGE concentration. In addition, cortical resistance to in vivo indentation (bone material strength index) was lower in patients with T2DM vs. age-matched non-diabetic controls, and this resistance decreased with worsening glycemic control. Recent studies on patients with T1DM and history of a prior fragility fracture found greater mineral content and concentrations of AGEs in iliac trabecular bone and correspondingly stiffer, harder bone at the nanosacle. Recent observational data showed greater AGE and mineral content in surgically retrieved bone from patients with T2DM vs. non-DM controls, consistent with reduced bone remodeling. Limited data on human T1DM bone tissue also showed higher mineral and AGE content in patients with prior fragility fractures compared to non-DM and non-fracture controls.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There is ample evidence that patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have increased risk of fracture even though they have normal or high bone mineral density. As a result, poor bone quality is suggested to contribute to skeletal fragility in this population. Thus, our goal was to conduct a comprehensive literature review to understand how bone quality components are altered in T2D and their effects on bone biomechanics and fracture risk. RECENT FINDINGS T2D does affect bone quality via alterations in bone microarchitecture, organic matrix, and cellular behavior. Further, studies indicate that bone biomechanical properties are generally deteriorated in T2D, but there are few reports in patients. Additional work is needed to better understand molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to skeletal fragility in T2D. This knowledge can contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools and drug targets to for improved quality of life for those with T2D.

Abstract
Women with similar areal Bone Mineral Densities (BMD) may show divergent fracture incidence due to differences in bone quality. The hypothesis tested in the present pilot study is that postmenopausal (PM) women who have sustained osteoporotic fractures have altered organic matrix quality compared to those who have not. We used Raman microspectroscopy to analyze transiliac biopsies collected from fracturing (n = 6, mean age 62.5 ± 7.4 yrs; Cases) and non-fracturing PM women (n = 6, age- and BMD-matched; mean age 62.2 ± 7.3 yrs; Controls). Previous results show differences in intrinsic material properties by nanoindentation that are more homogenously distributed and could facilitate microcrack propagation in Cases, along with lower mineral carbonate/phosphate ratio by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging, and no differences in bone tissue mineralization by digitized microradiography. No differences between groups were seen by conventional histomorphometry. Spectra were acquired 2 μm away from previously performed nanoindents, in cortical and cancellous compartments. The determined parameters were: mineral to matrix ratio (MM), and nanoporosity (a surrogate for tissue water (TW)), glycosaminoglycan (GAG), pyridinoline (Pyd; trivalent enzymatic collagen cross-link), N(6)-carboxymethyllysine (CML; advanced glycation endproduct), and pentosidine (PEN; advanced glycation endproduct) content. ANCOVA indicated no differences in any of the spectroscopic outcomes between cancellous and cortical compartments. On the other hand, Cases had lower nanoporosity (TW) and GAG, and elevated Pyd, and CML content compared to Controls. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate significant differences in organic matrix quality in PM women that sustain fragility fractures versus age- and BMD-matched controls, highlighting its importance as a potential independent determinant of fracture incidence.

Liraglutide inhibits the apoptosis of human nucleus pulposus cells induced by high glucose through PI3K/Akt/caspase-3 signaling pathway. Biosci Rep 2019; 39:BSR20190109.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a potential etiology of disc degeneration. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is currently regarded as a powerful treatment option for type 2 diabetes. Apart from the beneficial effects on glycaemic control, GLP-1 has been reported to exert functions in a variety of tissues on modulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. However, little is known regarding the effects of GLP-1 on nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). In the present study, we investigated the effects of liraglutide (LIR), a long-lasting GLP-1 analogue, on apoptosis of human NPCs and the underlying mechanisms involved. We confirmed the presence of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in NPCs. Our data demonstrated that liraglutide inhibited the apoptosis of NPCs induced by high glucose (HG), as detected by Annexin V/Propidium Iodide (PI) and ELISA assays. Moreover, liraglutide down-regulated caspase-3 activity at intermediate concentration (100 nM) for maximum effect. Further analysis suggested that liraglutide suppressed reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and stimulated the phosphorylation of Akt under HG condition. Pretreatment of cells with the Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 (LY) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) GLP-1R abrogated the liraglutide-induced activation of Akt and the protective effects on NPCs' apoptosis. In conclusion, liraglutide could directly protect NPCs against HG-induced apoptosis by inhibiting oxidative stress and activate the PI3K/Akt/caspase-3 signaling pathway via GLP-1R.

Abstract
Diabetes compromises bone cell metabolism and function, resulting in increased risk of fragility fracture. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) interact with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and can make a meaningful contribution to bone cell metabolism and/or alter function. Searches in PubMed using the key words "advanced glycation end-product," "RAGE," "sRAGE," "bone," and "diabetes" were made to explain some of the clinical outcomes of diabetes in bone metabolism through the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway. All published clinical studies were included in tables. The AGE-RAGE signaling pathway participates in diabetic complications, including diabetic osteopathy. Some clinical results in diabetic patients, such as reduced bone density, suppressed bone turnover markers, and bone quality impairment, could be potentially due to AGE-RAGE signaling consequences. However, the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway has some helpful roles in the bone, including an increase in osteogenic function. Soluble RAGE (sRAGE), as a ligand decoy, may increase in either conditions of RAGE production or destruction, and then it cannot always reflect the AGE-RAGE signaling. Recombinant sRAGE can block the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway but is associated with some limitations, such as accessibility to AGEs, an increase in other RAGE ligands, and a long half-life (24 hours), which is associated with losing the beneficial effect of AGE/RAGE. As a result, sRAGE is not a helpful marker to assess activity of the RAGE signaling pathway. The recombinant sRAGE cannot be translated into clinical practice due to its limitations.

Abstract
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have normal-to-high BMDs, but, counterintuitively, have greater fracture risks than people without T2DM, even after accounting for potential confounders like BMI and falls. Therefore, T2DM may alter aspects of bone quality, including material properties or microarchitecture, that increase fragility independently of bone mass. Our objective was to elucidate the factors that influence fragility in T2DM by comparing the material properties, microarchitecture, and mechanical performance of cancellous bone in a clinical population of men with and without T2DM. Cancellous specimens from the femoral neck were collected during total hip arthroplasty (T2DM: n = 31, age = 65 ± 8 years, HbA1c = 7.1 ± 0.9%; non-DM: n = 34, age = 62 ± 9 years, HbA1c = 5.5 ± 0.4%). The T2DM specimens had greater concentrations of the advanced glycation endproduct pentosidine (+ 36%, P < 0.05) and sugars bound to the collagen matrix (+ 42%, P < 0.05) than the non-DM specimens. The T2DM specimens trended toward a greater bone volume fraction (BV/TV) (+ 24%, NS, P = 0.13) and had greater mineral content (+ 7%, P < 0.05) than the non-DM specimens. Regression modeling of the mechanical outcomes revealed competing effects of T2DM on bone mechanical behavior. The trend of higher BV/TV values and the greater mineral content observed in the T2DM specimens increased strength, whereas the greater values of pentosidine in the T2DM group decreased postyield strain and toughness. The long-term medical management and presence of osteoarthritis in these patients may influence these outcomes. Nevertheless, our data indicate a beneficial effect of T2DM on cancellous microarchitecture, but a deleterious effect of T2DM on the collagen matrix. These data suggest that high concentrations of advanced glycation endproducts can increase fragility by reducing the ability of bone to absorb energy before failure, especially for the subset of T2DM patients with low BV/TV. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Objective The micro-structure at the interface of cortical and cancellous bone is quite complicated. The fracture mechanism at this location is necessary for understanding the comprehensive fracture of whole bone. The goal of this study is to identify fracture toughness in terms of J integral and fracture mechanism at the interface between cortical and cancellous bone. Materials and Methods For this purpose, single edge notch bend (SENB) specimens were prepared from bovine proximal femur according to ASTM-E399 standard. Bone samples were prepared such that half of the sample width consist of cortical bone and other half of the width was cancellous bone; this interfacial bone is referred as corticellous bone. Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics was used to measure fracture toughness. The J integral (both elastic and plastic) was used to quantify the fracture toughness. Results The plastic part of J integral value (Jpl) of corticellous specimen was 9310 Jm-2, and shown to be 27 times of the J integral of the elastic part (Jel), 341 Jm-2. The total J integral of the corticellous bone was found to be 9651 Jm-2, which is close to two times of the cortical bone, 4731 Jm-2. Conclusions Present study observed that, J integral of corticellous bone is higher than cortical bone since, more energy is required for plastic deformation of corticellous bone due to crack branches and slowdown at the interface between cortical and cancellous bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To better understand bone fragility in type 2 diabetes mellitus and define the contribution of microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) to the evaluation of bone microarchitecture and vascularisation, we conducted an in vitro preliminary study on the femur of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and Zucker lean (ZL) rats. We first analysed bone microarchitecture, then determined whether micro-CT allowed to explore bone vascularisation, and finally looked for a link between these parameters. METHODS Eight ZDF and six ZL rats were examined for bone microarchitecture (group 1), and six ZDF and six ZL rats were studied for bone vascularisation after Microfil® perfusion which is a radiopaque casting agent (group 2). In group 1, we used micro-CT to examine the trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture of the femoral head, neck, shaft, and distal metaphysis. In group 2, micro-CT was used to study the blood vessels in the head, neck, and distal metaphysis. RESULTS Compared to ZL rats, the ZDF rats exhibited significantly lower trabecular bone volume and number and higher trabecular separation in the three locations (p = 0.02, p = 0.02, p = 0.003). Cortical porosity was significantly higher in the ZDF rats at the neck and shaft (p = 0.001 and p = 0.005). We observed a dramatically poorer bone vascularisation in the femur of ZDF rats, especially in distal metaphysis (p < 0.047). CONCLUSIONS Micro-CT demonstrated not only significant alterations in the bone microarchitecture of the femurs of ZDF rats, but also significant alterations in bone vascularisation. Further studies are required to demonstrate the causal link between poor vascularisation and impaired bone architecture.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are glycated proteins associated with high dry temperature food processing, coloring and flavor modification of food products. Previous studies on diet-related disease support the role of the glycation products as biomarkers in local and general proinflammatory response. Exogenous and endogenous AGEs are involved in chronic low-level inflammation, which underlies the onset of metabolic syndrome influenced by food intake, there by demonstrating their implication in diet-related pathologies. Although studies have revealed a strong association between the accumulation of AGEs and the occurrence/worsening of metabolic diseases, their routine use for the diagnosis or monitoring of local and general disease has not yet been reported.

Abstract
It is well known that bone loss accompanies aging in both men and women and contributes to skeletal fragility in the older population, but changes that occur to the bone tissue matrix itself are less well known. These changes in bone quality aggravate the skeletal fragility associated with loss of bone mass. Bone tissue quality is affected by age-related changes in bone mineral, collagen and its cross-linking profiles, water compartments and even non-collagenous proteins. It is commonly assumed that greater tissue mineralization accompanies aging as bone turnover slows down in elderly individuals, but the data for this are weak. However, there may be changes in the quality of the mineral crystals, and the substitutions found within the crystal. Both enzymatically-mediated and non-enzymatically-mediated collagen cross-links multiply with age. The former tend to make the bone stiffer and stronger, but the latter, while making the bone stiffer can also make it more brittle and more likely to fracture. Bone pore water that is not bound to collagen or mineral increases with age as bone mass is lost, but water that is bound to collagen and mineral declines with age. These changes contribute to skeletal fragility by reducing the amount that bone can deform before fracturing. Finally, non-collagenous proteins have physical properties that can alter matrix mechanical properties and can also have molecular signaling functions that regulate bone remodeling. Whether these change with age, how they change, and how this affects skeletal fragility with aging is still largely a black box, and requires much more investigation. The roles of any of these factors in skeletal fragility are difficult to assess clinically as there is no easy or economical way to evaluate them, but a picture of fragility in the aging skeleton is incomplete without them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated how the type of rehabilitation affects brain function and antioxidant potential. METHODS Twenty-eight patients hospitalized for fall-related fractures were assigned to either a physical therapy group or an occupational therapy group. Cognition was assessed using the Touch Panel-type Dementia Assessment Scale (TDAS) and oxidative stress with serum pentosidine levels. Spectral analysis and coherence analysis were also performed. RESULTS Changes in TDAS scores and serum pentosidine levels did not differ significantly between the 2 therapies. Power spectral analysis revealed a significant intergroup difference in δ waves. Coherence analysis showed significant intergroup differences in the activities of δ waves and β waves. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive function and antioxidant potential did not differ between the 2 types of rehabilitation. However, the impact on cerebral neuronal activity may have differed.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a pathological condition associated with osteopenia. WNT/β-catenin signaling is implicated in this process. Trabecular and cortical bone respond differently to WNT/β-catenin signaling in healthy mice. We investigated whether this signaling has different effects on trabecular and cortical bone in T1DM. We first established a streptozotocin-induced T1DM mouse model and then constitutively activated β-catenin in osteoblasts in the setting of T1DM (T1-CA). The extent of bone loss was greater in trabecular bone than that in cortical bone in T1DM mice, and this difference was consistent with the reduction in the expression of β-catenin signaling in the two bone compartments. Further experiments demonstrated that in T1DM mice, trabecular bone showed lower levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) than the levels in cortical bone, leading to lower WNT/β-catenin signaling activity through the inhibition of the IGF-1R/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) pathway. After β-catenin was activated in T1-CA mice, the bone mass and bone strength increased to substantially greater extents in trabecular bone than those in cortical bone. In addition, the cortical bone of the T1-CA mice displayed an unexpected increase in bone porosity, with increased bone resorption. The downregulated expression of WNT16 might be responsible for these cortical bone changes. In conclusion, we found that although the activation of WNT/β-catenin signaling increased the trabecular bone mass and bone strength in T1DM mice, it also increased the cortical bone porosity, impairing the bone strength. These findings should be considered in the future treatment of T1DM-related osteopenia.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and back pain are widespread and often develop simultaneously. In patients with DM 2 type, the incidence of back pain is increased. The association of DM with the severity of pain and the frequency of its chronization and recurrence has been revealed. The most likely mechanism of such an association is the lesion of intervertebral discs mediated by the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (EGP). In DM the concentration of EGP increases significantly; they initiate ectopic calcification, a decrease in cell density in the end plates, and changes in vertebras. Cells of the pulpous nuclei begin to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines that trigger the processes of angio- and neurogenesis. Dorsopathies develop due to other etiological factors, but the mechanisms of systemic inflammation are similar. Thus, DM and back pain are comorbid pathologies with common elements in pathogenesis. To prevent the development of dorsopathy in DM 2 type it is considered promising to use drugs that reduce the intensity of accumulation of AGP and inhibitors of pro-inflammatory cytokines, for example, symptomatic slow acting drugs.

Abstract
Skeletal fragility is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), but there is a poor understanding of mechanisms underlying T2D skeletal fragility. The increased fracture risk has been suggested to result from deteriorated bone microarchitecture or poor bone quality due to accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). We conducted a clinical study to determine whether: 1) bone microarchitecture, AGEs, and bone biomechanical properties are altered in T2D bone, 2) bone AGEs are related to bone biomechanical properties, and 3) serum AGE levels reflect those in bone. To do so, we collected serum and proximal femur specimens from T2D (n = 20) and non-diabetic (n = 33) subjects undergoing total hip replacement surgery. A section from the femoral neck was imaged by microcomputed tomography (microCT), tested by cyclic reference point indentation, and quantified for AGE content. A trabecular core taken from the femoral head was imaged by microCT and subjected to uniaxial unconfined compression tests. T2D subjects had greater HbA1c (+23%, p ≤ 0.0001), but no difference in cortical tissue mineral density, cortical porosity, or trabecular microarchitecture compared to non-diabetics. Cyclic reference point indentation revealed that creep indentation distance (+18%, p ≤ 0.05) and indentation distance increase (+20%, p ≤ 0.05) were greater in cortical bone from T2D than in non-diabetics, but no other indentation variables differed. Trabecular bone mechanical properties were similar in both groups, except for yield stress, which tended to be lower in T2D than in non-diabetics. Neither serum pentosidine nor serum total AGEs were different between groups. Cortical, but not trabecular, bone AGEs tended to be higher in T2D subjects (21%, p = 0.09). Serum AGEs and pentosidine were positively correlated with cortical and trabecular bone AGEs. Our study presents new data on biomechanical properties and AGEs in adults with T2D, which are needed to better understand mechanisms contributing to diabetic skeletal fragility.
