Text Extraction
Bone tissue was essentially considered as a mechanical structure; however
is now well known that is the site of permanent bone remodelation. In
addition, bone functions as an endocrine gland producing osteocalcin, which
in turn interacts with other tissues, such as fat, pancreas and gastrointestinal
tract. As a consequence, osteocalcin intervenes into glucose metabolism,
peripheral insulin sensitivity and inflammatory process. In sum, bone
may be accepted as an endocrine gland.
