Denosumab improves glucose parameters in patients with impaired glucose tolerance: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Receptor activator of NF-κβ ligand (RANKL) is crucial for the development of hepatic insulin resistance and poor glucose uptake; therefore, inhibiting RANKL with Denosumab could improve fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin (FPI).

Methods

A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effects of Denosumab on glycemic parameters. PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCO, and LILACS databases were searched for studies that investigated the effect of Denosumab on FPG, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), FPI, and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA1-IR). The pooled standard difference in means (SDM) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated. The results were stratified into (1) Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) and (2) Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT).
