The effect of dipeptidyl peptidase‐IV inhibition on bone in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes

Abstract

Overall, the DPP-IV inhibitor, MK-0626, had no adverse effects on bone in an animal model of T2D or directly on osteoblasts in culture. These findings are reassuring as DPP-IV inhibitors are being widely used to treat patients with T2D who are already at an increased risk of fractures.
