Can Melatonin Improve the Osteopenia of Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Women? A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objective:To assess the effectiveness and safety of melatonin for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with osteopenia. Methods:In this meta-analysis, data from randomized controlled trials were obtained to assess the effects of melatonin versus placebo or western medicine in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with osteopenia. The study's registration number is CRD42018086238. The primary outcomes included bone mineral density (BMD) and T-score. Result:From 551 articles retrieved, three trials involving 121 patients were included. Due to the high-to-substantial heterogeneity (BMD: I2=96.9%, P=0.000; T-score: I2=74.9%, and P=0.019), the statistical analysis of BMD and T-score was abandoned. A systematic review was undergone for the two outcomes. Compared with the control group, melatonin may increase osteocalcin (WMD 4.97; 95% CI 3.14, 6.79; P < 0.00001). Conclusion:Based on current evidence, melatonin might be used as a safe nutritional supplement to improve bone density in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, but its efficacy needs to be further affirmed.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:For the purpose of providing evidence for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia, this study retrospectively identified succinylation-modified sites and proteins in postmenopausal women, and bioinformatics analysis were performed. METHODS:From January 2016 to June 2018, a total of 30 postmenopausal women aged from 55 to 70?years old were assigned to three groups: 10 cases with osteoporosis; 10 cases with osteopenia; and 10 cases with normal bone mass. Subsequently, the serum samples were collected from all cases for succinyl-proteome. Measures comprised label-free quantitative analysis, succinylation enrichment techniques, the liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) methods, and bioinformatics. RESULTS:A total of 113 succinylation sites on 35 proteins were identified based on quantitative information. The variation of the different multiple folds were more than 1.2 times as a significant increase for up-regulated and less than 1/1.2 times as a significant decrease for down-regulated. Among the quantified succinylation sites, 66 were up-regulated and 11 down-regulated in the Osteopenia/Normal comparison group, 24 were up-regulated and 44 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Osteopenia comparison group, 45 were up-regulated and 32 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Normal comparison group. Among the quantified succinylation proteins, 24 were up-regulated and 7 down-regulated in the Osteopenia/Normal comparison group, 15 were up-regulated and 20 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Osteopenia comparison group, 20 were up-regulated and 17 down-regulated in the Osteoporosis/Normal comparison group. The percentage of proteins differed in immune response, signaling pathway, proteolysis, lymphocyte, leukocyte, and cell activation. Four differentially expressed proteins (apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, hemoglobin subunit alpha, and haptoglobin) contained quantitative information; they were mediated with receptors, factors, mechanisms, that related to bone metabolism. Hemoglobin subunit alpha was screened for diagnosis of osteopenia. CONCLUSIONS:The succinyl-proteome experimental data indicated that apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, hemoglobin subunit alpha, and haptoglobin were valuable for diagnosis and treatment in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Project description:BackgroundVitamin K has been widely promoted as a supplement for decreasing bone loss in postmenopausal women, but the long-term benefits and potential harms are unknown. This study was conducted to determine whether daily high-dose vitamin K1 supplementation safely reduces bone loss, bone turnover, and fractures.Methods and findingsThis single-center study was designed as a 2-y randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, extended for earlier participants for up to an additional 2 y because of interest in long-term safety and fractures. A total of 440 postmenopausal women with osteopenia were randomized to either 5 mg of vitamin K1 or placebo daily. Primary outcomes were changes in BMD at the lumbar spine and total hip at 2 y. Secondary outcomes included changes in BMD at other sites and other time points, bone turnover markers, height, fractures, adverse effects, and health-related quality of life. This study has a power of 90% to detect 3% differences in BMD between the two groups. The women in this study were vitamin D replete, with a mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of 77 nmol/l at baseline. Over 2 y, BMD decreased by -1.28% and -1.22% (p = 0.84) (difference of -0.06%; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.67% to 0.54%) at the lumbar spine and -0.69% and -0.88% (p = 0.51) (difference of 0.19%; 95% CI -0.37% to 0.75%) at the total hip in the vitamin K and placebo groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in changes in BMD at any site between the two groups over the 2- to 4-y period. Daily vitamin K1 supplementation increased serum vitamin K1 levels by 10-fold, and decreased the percentage of undercarboxylated osteocalcin and total osteocalcin levels (bone formation marker). However, C-telopeptide levels (bone resorption marker) were not significantly different between the two groups. Fewer women in the vitamin K group had clinical fractures (nine versus 20, p = 0.04) and fewer had cancers (three versus 12, p = 0.02). Vitamin K supplements were well-tolerated over the 4-y period. There were no significant differences in adverse effects or health-related quality of life between the two groups. The study was not powered to examine fractures or cancers, and their numbers were small.ConclusionsDaily 5 mg of vitamin K1 supplementation for 2 to 4 y does not protect against age-related decline in BMD, but may protect against fractures and cancers in postmenopausal women with osteopenia. More studies are needed to further examine the effect of vitamin K on fractures and cancers.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT00150969) and Current Controlled Trials (#ISRCTN61708241).
