Inverse association of plasma leptin with cortical thickness at distal radius in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus determined with quantitative ultrasound device

ConclusionLeptin level in plasma, independent of body mass index and body mass index plus waist ‐to‐hip ratio, was shown to be inversely associated with cortical thickness, but not trabecular bone mineral density, suggesting that hyperleptinemia resulting from obesity may contribute to cortical porosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.This article is protected by copyright.
