Chen L, Guo Q, Wang Q, et al. - This case-control study was conducted by researchers to examine the connection of strontium, a bone-seeking element, with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) via multivariable logistic regression analysis, and further analyze the potential mechanisms. Participants in the study included 1,448 patients with newly diagnosed T2D, 782 patients with IGR, and 2,230 matched controls with normal glucose tolerance. According to findings, T2D and IGR were inversely connected with plasma strontium. Furthermore, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and lipid peroxidation were negatively linked to plasma strontium. In order to confirm these results and clarify the underlying mechanisms, further studies are warranted, noted the authors.
