Abstract
This study was to explore the relationship of serum BMP7 with insulin secretion and metabolic parameters in non-diabetic individuals. Serum BMP7 concentrations positively correlated with HOMA2-%B (insulin secretion index) and fasting insulin. Our findings suggested that BMP7 may stimulate insulin secretion and improve islet cell function in humans.
