The aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal bone mineral density(BMD) and bone metabolic related markers changes in obese patients with acanthosis nigricans (AN) and without AN(OB) after Laroscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). 41 obese patients (AN group:n=29,OB group:n=12) were recruited in this study. Areal BMD (aBMD) and lumbar spine volumetric BMD (vBMD)were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Insulin and markers of bone metabolism including 25-OHD, calcium, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), osteocalcin (OC), and type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) ] were assessed; Insulin area under the curve(AUCins) and HOMA-IR were computed. Results showed that the AN group had a higher fasting serum insulin (42.80±28.52 vs. 22.55±8.94mU/L,p=0.006), AUCins (522.42±280.32 vs. 263.87±195.75mU/L,p=0.008)and BMI(40.6±5.1 vs. 36.7±4.1kg/m2,p=0.024) compared to the OB group at baseline. The both groups did a obvious decrease in HOMA-IR after LSG; In AN group, there was a significant decrease in Lumbar vBMD(-4.4%,p=0.011), pelvic aBMD (-6.48%,p In conclusion, Insulin resistance was improved, and bone turnover was activated one year after LSG in both groups, but the bone loss was more likely to occur in the obese patients with acanthosis nigricans.
