Undercarboxylated osteocalcin reverts insulin resistance induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Abstract Osteocalcin has been considered to be an important regulator of energy metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanism underlying the involvement of uncarboxylated osteocalcin in the vascular complications of T2DM is not fully understood. In the present study, we analy...
