In the recent years the role of the skeleton in glucose and energy homeostasis has been studied. In particular the osteoblast-specific protein osteocalcin (OC), in its undercarboxylated form (uOC) has been shown to influence glucose homeostasis in animal models.The aim of our study is to evaluate if the intermittent administration of 1–84 PTH could influence glucose metabolism through its anabolic action on the skeleton.We enr...
