Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed in 28 women with type I1 diabetes mellitus and compared to 207 age-matched nondiabetic women. Mean BMD, as measured by dual-photon absorptiometry, 1.12 f 0.3 g/cm2 ( f SEM), was similar to the mean IlMD of control subjects, 1.06 f 0.1 g/cm2. Only 1 of the 28 d
## Abstract The role of type 2 deiodinase (D2) in the human skeleton remains unclear. The D2 polymorphism Thr92Ala has been associated with lower enzymatic activity, which could result in lower local triiodothyronine (T~3~) availability in bone. We therefore hypothesized that the D2 Thr92Ala polymo
