Abstract:
Bone metabolism is influenced by numerous regulatory mechanisms. Some of them are changed in Diabetes mellitus type 1. We have studied a group of 38 of patients with Diabetes mellitus type 1 and have established reduced bone mineral density in considerable number of cases. Salmon calcitonine, administered in these patients, was efficient for bone symptoms; glycemic control improvement was also noticed.
Metabolismul osos este orchestrat de numeroase mecanisme de reglare, unele din care se alterează în cadrul diabetului zaharat (DZ) tip 1. La evaluarea unui lot de 38 de pacienţi cu DZ tip 1 am constatat reudcerea masei osoase într-un procent semnificativ de cazuri. Administrarea calcitoninei de somon acestor pacienţi a demonstrat eficacitate; totodată am urmărit pe fon de tratament ameliorarea controlului glicemic.
