Incretins and bone: friend or foe?
To adapt to its various functions, the bone tissue is remodeled permanently and is under the influence of hormonal, local, mechanical and nervous signals. Among them, a role for gut hormones in controlling bone mass and quality has emerged in the recent years. The aim of this review is to provide the reader with a summary of recent developments in the interaction between incretin hormones and bone physiology.
