Abstract
Mild effects of chronic hyperglycemia on bone structure were accentuated by the chronic nicotine exposure, although nicotine alone did not cause any significant bone changes. That suggests a synergistic effect of hyperglycemia and nicotine on bone deterioration and increased propensity to fracture. Indeed, better understanding of risk factors driving bone structural deterioration is a precondition to limit the complications associated with DM.
