However, in females, BMD at the femoral neck ( = 0.156, = 0.023) and hip joint ( = 0.172, = 0.012) had a positive correlation with TSH levels. After adjusting for age and BMI, multiple regression analysis showed that TSH levels influenced BMD at the femoral neck ( = 0.188, = 0.001) and hip joint ( = 0.204, = 0.001) in female patients. In summary, our data demonstrates that low TSH levels are associated with decreased BMD at the femoral neck and hip joint in postmenopausal T2D women with euthyroidism. In summary, our data demonstrates that low TSH levels are associated with decreased BMD at the femoral neck and hip joint in postmenopausal T2D women with euthyroidism. Humanin, a newly emerging endogenously expressed cytoprotective peptide, has been shown to have anti-apoptotic properties effects by protecting neuronal cells injury. Endothelial microparticles (EMPs) are considered as vital mediators in intercellular communication. EMPs may regulate various physiological and pathological processes by transferring mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) to recipient cells. EMPs were isolated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by ultracentrifugation. EMPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analyses. Observation of EMPs uptake into HUVECs and the number of EMPs were realized by confocal microscopy. The expression of miR-155 was examined using real-time PCR. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry assay. We found that high glucose (HG) increased the number of EMPs and upregulated the expression of miR-155 contained within EMPs, which was mitigated by HNG pretreatment. miR-155 overexpression in EMPs reversed the effects of HNG pretreatment and increased apoptosis of target cells. Effects of HNG pretreatment on HG-treated endothelial cells (ECs) were
