Advances in the Study of Osteocalcin, Glucose Metabolism and Energy Metabolism

Abstract

Osteocalcin (OCN) is a non-collagenous protein derived from osteoblasts with a variety of hormonal characteristics. Animal and experimental models have shown that osteocalcin is released into the bloodstream and is capable of producing biological effects on pancreatic cells and adipose tissue. In recent years, researchers have begun to focus on the skeleton as an endocrine organ, and
