Effects of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Lean Mass, Muscle Strength, and Bone Mineral Density During Weight Loss: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To compare the effects of 12 months of vitamin D3 supplementation with that placebo on lean mass, bone mineral density (BMD), and muscle strength in overweight or obese postmenopausal women completing a structured weight-loss program. DESIGN:Double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial. SETTING:Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington. PARTICIPANTS:Postmenopausal women aged 50 to 75 with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m(2) or greater and a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration between 10.0 and 32.0 ng/mL (insufficient) (N = 218). INTERVENTION:Oral vitamin D3 2,000 IU/d or placebo in combination with a lifestyle-based weight loss intervention consisting of a reduction of 500 kcal to 1,000 kcal per day and 225 min/wk of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise. MEASUREMENTS:Serum 25(OH)D, body composition, and muscle strength were measured before randomization (baseline) and at 12 months. Mean changes of the groups were compared (intention to treat) using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS:Change in 25(OH)D was significantly different between the vitamin D and placebo groups at 12 months (13.6 ng/mL vs -1.3 ng/mL, P < .001), but no differences in change in lean mass (-0.8 kg vs -1.1 kg, P = .53) or BMD of the spine (-0.01 g/cm(2) vs 0.0 g/cm(2) , P = .82) or right femoral neck (both -0.01 g/cm(2) , P = .49) were detected between the groups. Leg strength decreased in the vitamin D group but not in the placebo group (-2.6 pounds vs 1.8 pounds, P = .03). In women randomized to vitamin D, achieving repletion (25(OH)D ? 32 ng/mL) did not alter results. CONCLUSION:Vitamin D3 supplementation during weight-loss decreased leg strength but did not alter changes in lean mass or BMD in postmenopausal women with vitamin D insufficiency.

Project description:BackgroundVitamin D deficiency is associated with obesity; whether repletion supports weight loss and changes obesity-related biomarkers is unknown.ObjectiveWe compared 12 mo of vitamin D3 supplementation with placebo on weight, body composition, insulin, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in postmenopausal women in a weight-loss intervention.DesignA total of 218 overweight/obese women (50-75 y of age) with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] ≥10 ng/mL but <32 ng/mL were randomly assigned to weight loss + 2000 IU oral vitamin D3/d or weight loss + daily placebo. The weight-loss intervention included a reduced-calorie diet (10% weight loss goal) and 225 min/wk of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic activity. Mean 12-mo changes in weight, body composition, serum insulin, CRP, and 25(OH)D were compared between groups (intent-to-treat) by using generalized estimating equations.ResultsA total of 86% of participants completed the 12-mo measurements. The mean (95% CI) change in 25(OH)D was 13.6 (11.6, 15.4) ng/mL in the vitamin D3 arm compared with -1.3 (-2.6, -0.3) ng/mL in the placebo arm (P < 0.0001). Changes in weight [-7.1 (-8.7, -5.7) compared with -7.4 (-8.1, -5.4) kg], body mass index (in kg/m(2): both -2.8), waist circumference [-4.9 (-6.7, -2.9) compared with -4.5 (-5.6, -2.6) cm], percentage body fat [-4.1 (-4.9, -2.9) compared with -3.5 (-4.5, -2.5)], trunk fat [-4.1 (-4.7, -3.0) compared with -3.7 (-4.3, -2.9) kg], insulin [-2.5 (-3.4, -1.7) compared with -2.4 (-3.3, -1.4) μU/mL], and CRP [-0.9 (-1.2, -0.6) compared with -0.79 (-0.9, -0.4) mg/L] [corrected] were similar between groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with women who achieved 25(OH)D <32 ng/mL, women randomly assigned to vitamin D who became replete (ie, 25(OH)D ≥32 ng/mL) lost more weight [-8.8 (-11.1, -6.9) compared with -5.6 (-7.2, -5.0) kg; P = 0.05], waist circumference [-6.6 (-9.3, -4.3) compared with -2.5 (-4.6, -2.0) cm; P = 0.02], and percentage body fat [-4.7 (-6.1, -3.5) compared with -2.6 (-3.9, -2.2); P = 0.04]. Among women with complete pill counts (97% adherence), the mean decrease in CRP was 1.18 mg/mL (46%) in the vitamin D arm compared with 0.46 mg/mL (25%) in the placebo arm (P = 0.03).ConclusionsVitamin D3 supplementation during weight loss did not increase weight loss or associated factors compared with placebo; however, women who became replete experienced greater improvements. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01240213.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough there have been numerous observations of vitamin D deficiency and its links to chronic diseases, no studies have reported on how vitamin D status and vitamin D3 supplementation affects broad gene expression in humans. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of vitamin D status and subsequent vitamin D supplementation on broad gene expression in healthy adults. (Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01696409).Methods and findingsA randomized, double-blind, single center pilot trial was conducted for comparing vitamin D supplementation with either 400 IUs (n = 3) or 2000 IUs (n = 5) vitamin D3 daily for 2 months on broad gene expression in the white blood cells collected from 8 healthy adults in the winter. Microarrays of the 16 buffy coats from eight subjects passed the quality control filters and normalized with the RMA method. Vitamin D3 supplementation that improved serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations was associated with at least a 1.5 fold alteration in the expression of 291 genes. There was a significant difference in the expression of 66 genes between subjects at baseline with vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D<20 ng/ml) and subjects with a 25(OH)D>20 ng/ml. After vitamin D3 supplementation gene expression of these 66 genes was similar for both groups. Seventeen vitamin D-regulated genes with new candidate vitamin D response elements including TRIM27, CD83, COPB2, YRNA and CETN3 which have been shown to be important for transcriptional regulation, immune function, response to stress and DNA repair were identified.Conclusion/significanceOur data suggest that any improvement in vitamin D status will significantly affect expression of genes that have a wide variety of biologic functions of more than 160 pathways linked to cancer, autoimmune disorders and cardiovascular disease with have been associated with vitamin D deficiency. This study reveals for the first time molecular finger prints that help explain the nonskeletal health benefits of vitamin D.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT01696409.

Project description:While vitamin D inadequacy occurs worldwide, there is a lack of consensus internationally on the optimum plasma levels of 25(OH)D to maximally suppress the level of parathyroid hormone toward reducing bone loss. This study aimed to investigate the response of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) to vitamin D3 supplementation among Malaysian women of reproductive age in a randomised double-blind placebo-control trial [NMRR-15-479-25680]. A total of 106 women who fulfilled the study inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to receive daily one of these three supplement doses (i) 600 IU vitamin D3 + 500 mg calcium; (ii) 1200 IU vitamin D3 + 500 mg calcium; or (iii) 4000 IU vitamin D3 + 500 mg calcium. The placebo group received daily 500 mg calcium. The outcome examined was change in plasma iPTH concentration in response to daily vitamin D3 supplementation for 16 weeks. Fasting blood sample was obtained at baseline and post-supplementation. A total of 78 subjects (73.6%) completed the intervention. None of the supplementation groups brought about any detectable suppression of iPTH concentration post-supplementation. Vitamin D3 supplementation resulted in overall increase in plasma 25(OH)D levels, but only the 4000 IU/day group showed a significant dose effect post-supplementation (mean 49.7 ± 26.5 nmol/L) compared to placebo (29.3 ± 13.3 nmol/L). The lack of iPTH suppression is attributed to high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency at baseline and the supplementation regimen was inadequate to raise the 25(OH)D level to cause PTH suppression. Inadequate calcium intake of the participants was also a likely contributing factor to the result. As prolonged vitamin D insufficiency and hypocalcaemia could lead to a compensatory rise in PTH resulting in accelerated bone loss, as well as posing increasing risks of non-skeletal morbidities, further clinical trials with an adequately powered sample size should be undertaken over an appropriate study duration to verify the results obtained in this study.
