This study investigates the therapeutic potential of proanthocyanidins (PAC) in addressing Type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP) by activating the SIRT6/Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathways. T2DOP is characterized by compromised bone structure and heightened oxidative stress, where ferroptosis plays a pivotal role. Utilizing a T2DOP mouse model and MC3T3-E1 cells under high glucose conditions, we evaluated the impact of PAC on bone health and iron homeostasis. Our results, obtained through micro-CT, histological staining, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analyses, revealed reductions in bone density and decreased GPX4 expression in T2DOP conditions, indicating ferroptosis and oxidative stress. However, PAC treatment improved trabecular bone structure, reduced bone marrow adipocytes, decreased oxidative stress, and enhanced expression of key osteogenic proteins. These findings highlight PAC's potential in mitigating T2DOP through the SIRT6/Nrf2/GPX4 pathways, offering promising therapeutic insights for managing diabetic osteoporosis.

To investigate the genetic determinants of fat distribution across anatomical sites and their implications for health outcomes. We analyzed neck-to-knee MRI data from the UK Biobank ( = 37,589) to measure fat at various locations and used Mendelian randomization to assess effects on 26 obesity-related diseases and 94 biomarkers from FinnGen and other consortia. We identified genetic loci associated with 10 fat depots: abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue ( = 2 loci), thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue (25), thigh intermuscular adipose tissue (15), visceral adipose tissue (7), liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) (8), pancreas PDFF (11), paraspinal adipose tissue (9), pelvic bone marrow fat (28), thigh bone marrow fat (27), and vertebrae bone marrow fat (5).

Unlabelled: The National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) has updated the revised UK guideline for the assessment and management of osteoporosis and the prevention of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women, and men age 50 years and older. This guideline is relevant for all healthcare professionals involved in osteoporosis management.
Introduction: The UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) first produced a guideline on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in 2008, with updates in 2013, 2017 and 2021.

Diabetes and osteoporosis are common chronic diseases worldwide, and there is a complex pathological relationship between the two. Due to hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), diabetic patients often show a higher risk of fractures. At the same time, chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress caused by diabetes also play an important role in the occurrence of osteoporosis, disrupting the balance of bone remodeling.

Impaired clinical fracture healing remains a major challenge, with surgical treatment often insufficient in patients with metabolic disorders or comorbidities such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Recent advances in metabolomics have brought the Sirtuin protein family to the forefront of bone regeneration research. These NAD⁺-dependent deacetylases exhibit cell-specific expression and regulate critical processes in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, linking glucose metabolism with bone remodeling.
