Marrow Adipose Tissue Spectrum in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of bone mass and marrow adipose tissue (MAT) with other fat depots, insulin resistance, bone remodeling markers, adipokines and glucose control in type 2 diabetes and obesity.DESIGN AND METHODS:
Cross-sectional study; comprised 24 controls (C), 26 obese (O) and 28 type 2 diabetes. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to determine bone mineral density (BMD). Blood samples were collected for biochemical measurements. 1H Magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to assess MAT in the L3 vertebra and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess intrahepatic lipids, visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Regression analysis models were used to test the association between parameters.RESULTS:
At all sites tested, BMD was higher in type 2 diabetes than in O and C subjects. The C group showed lower VAT values than the type 2 diabetes group and lower IHL than the O and type 2 diabetes groups. However, MAT was similar in the 3 groups. Osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen were lower in type 2 diabetes than in C and O subjects. Moreover, at all sites BMD was negatively associated with osteocalcin. No association was observed between MAT and VAT. No relationship was observed between MAT and HOMA-IR, leptin, adiponectin or Pref-1, but MAT was positively associated with glycated hemoglobin.CONCLUSIONS:
MAT is not a niche for fat accumulation under conditions of energy surplus and type 2 diabetes is not associated with VAT or insulin resistance. MAT is associated with glycated hemoglobin.- PMID:
