The skeletal protein osteocalcin is gamma-carboxylated by vitamin K. High serum uncarboxylated osteocalcin reflects low vitamin K status. In vitro and animal studies indicate that high uncarboxylated osteocalcin is associated with reduced insulin resistance. However, associations between osteocalcin and measures of insulin resistance in humans are less clear.
