Osteocalcin transgenic mice reveal aspects of the bone/glucose axis, as well as powerful suppression of ectopic osteocalcin protein production

Horsnell Harry , Wee Natalie , Kulkarni Rishikesh , Herzog Herbert , Baldock Paul

Rationale: Mice deficient in osteocalcin show an impaired glucose tolerance, however, the exact mechanism involved have yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to overexpress osteocalcin to determine its effect on glucose homeostasis and explore the signalling pathway involved. We wished to expand upon previous preliminary data suggesting that this pathway involve neuropeptide Y (NPY) signalling.Objective: To analyse the in vivo and in vitro</e...
