Popis: There is a dual relationship between bone and tissues involved in energy metabolism (fat tissue and beta-pancreatic cells). Thus, bone remodeling is an energy consuming process, but osteocalcin, the main on-collagenic protein, synthesized by osteoblas during bone formation exerts a number of biological effects on beta-pancreatic and adipose cells. With this data, we wanted to see if the presence of a chronic metabolic disorder such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) influence this complex dual relationship. For this, we conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the relation between osteocalcin and energetic metabolism in a group of 146 postmenopausal womens with and without T2DM at CI Parhon National Institute of Endocrinology, Bucharest. Clinical, metabolic and hormonal parameters were evaluated. For statistical analysis we used Student t-test and the Spearman correlation (statistical significance: p
