[Effect of glucose and bone metabolism in endocrinal disorder].

It is well known that endocrine disorders; glucocorticoid excess including Cushing syndrome, high dose or long term steroid therapy and hyperthyroidism, induce secondary osteoporosis. These common endocrinal disorders affect not only bone metabolism but also glucose metabolism. Glucose metabolisms also play a important role in the progression of osteoporosis. To prevent secondary osteoporosis, multifocal intervention such as correction of insulin resistance or glucose metabolism, lifestyle, and drug therapy, need to be added to current management of endocrinal system.
