Effects of bendroflumethiazide on bone mineral density; results from the BONATHIAD randomized double-blind placebo-controlled cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Thiazide diuretics (TD) may play a role in preventing osteoporosis. The objective was to investigate the effects of bendroflumethiazide in combination with bisphosphonates on bone mineral density, selected blood parameters, blood pressure, pulse, and muscle function.

Methods

Double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled interventional study in postmenopausal osteoporotic women over the age of 50 years consisting of four arms: 1) 24 weeks with bendroflumethiazide +24 weeks of washout, 2) 24 weeks with placebo +24 weeks of washout, 3) 48 weeks with bendroflumethiazide, or 4) 48 weeks with placebo. At inclusion, participants were on oral bisphosphonates. Intervention consisted of either bendroflumethiazide or placebo. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), vertebral fracture assessment (VFA), quantitative CT (QCT) and selected blood parameters were acquired at baseline and at 48 weeks and Timed-Up-and-Go, handgrip strength, blood pressure, pulse and balance additionally at 24 weeks.

Results

139 postmenopausal Caucasian women over 50 years were randomized (mean age 64.7 years (SEM 0.6, range 51-79)). 109 (78%) completed the study. No difference in the effect of bendroflumethiazide on DXA, VFA, QCT, biochemistry or muscle function were found between the treatment arms.

Conclusion

Bendroflumethiazide for 24- or 48 weeks in combination with bisphosphonates does not improve bone mineral density, selected blood parameters or muscle function compared to placebo combined with bisphosphonates. Studies with longer treatment periods and more patients are needed to further characterize the effects of bendroflumethiazide on bone and subpopulations that might benefit from the treatment.

Project description:Dietary recommendations for selenium differ between countries, mainly because of uncertainties over the definition of optimal selenium status.The objective was to examine the dose-response relations for different forms of selenium.A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dietary intervention was carried out in 119 healthy men and women aged 50-64 y living in the United Kingdom. Daily placebo or selenium-enriched yeast tablets containing 50, 100, or 200 microg Se ( approximately 60% selenomethionine), selenium-enriched onion meals ( approximately 66% gamma-glutamyl-methylselenocysteine, providing the equivalent of 50 microg Se/d), or unenriched onion meals were consumed for 12 wk. Changes in platelet glutathione peroxidase activity and in plasma selenium and selenoprotein P concentrations were measured.The mean baseline plasma selenium concentration for all subjects was 95.7 +/- 11.5 ng/mL, which increased significantly by 10 wk to steady state concentrations of 118.3 +/- 13.1, 152.0 +/- 24.3, and 177.4 +/- 26.3 ng/mL in those who consumed 50, 100, or 200 microg Se-yeast/d, respectively. Platelet glutathione peroxidase activity did not change significantly in response to either dose or form of selenium. Selenoprotein P increased significantly in all selenium intervention groups from an overall baseline mean of 4.99 +/- 0.80 microg/mL to 6.17 +/- 0.85, 6.73 +/- 1.01, 6.59 +/- 0.64, and 5.72 +/- 0.75 microg/mL in those who consumed 50, 100, or 200 microg Se-yeast/d and 50 microg Se-enriched onions/d, respectively.Plasma selenoprotein P is a useful biomarker of status in populations with relatively low selenium intakes because it responds to different dietary forms of selenium. To optimize the plasma selenoprotein P concentration in this study, 50 microg Se/d was required in addition to the habitual intake of approximately 55 microg/d. In the context of established relations between plasma selenium and risk of cancer and mortality, and recognizing the important functions of selenoprotein P, these results provide important evidence for deriving estimated average requirements for selenium in adults. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00279812.

Project description:Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenol in red grapes and berries, can act as a phytoestrogen. It has been shown to improve both systemic and cerebral circulatory functions, possibly through activation of endothelial estrogen receptors. in vitro and in vivo studies in rodent models also indicate a bone-protective role for resveratrol, particularly in ovariectomized rat models that mimic postmenopausal osteoporosis caused by estrogen deficiency. Hypothesizing a circulatory benefit of resveratrol in bone tissue, we investigated whether resveratrol supplementation could improve bone health in postmenopausal women. The Resveratrol for Healthy Aging in Women (RESHAW) trial was a 24-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover intervention conducted to evaluate the effects of resveratrol (75 mg twice daily) on cognition, cerebrovascular function, bone health, cardiometabolic markers, and well-being in postmenopausal women. After 12 months of supplementation with resveratrol versus placebo, there were positive effects on bone density in the lumbar spine (+0.016 ± 0.003 g/cm2 ) and neck of femur (+0.005 ± 0.002 g/cm2 ), which were accompanied by a 7.24% reduction in C-terminal telopeptide type-1 collagen levels, a bone resorption marker, compared with placebo. The increase in bone mineral density in the femoral neck resulted in an improvement in T-score (+0.070 ± 0.018) and a reduction in the 10-year probability of major and hip fracture risk. The magnitude of improvement was higher in women with poor bone health biomarker status. Importantly, the improvement in femoral neck T-score with resveratrol correlated with improvement in perfusion. Our subanalysis also revealed that the bone-protective benefit of resveratrol was greater in participants who supplemented with vitamin D plus calcium. Regular supplementation with 75 mg of resveratrol twice daily has the potential to slow bone loss in the lumbar spine and femoral neck, common fracture sites in postmenopausal women without overt osteoporosis. © 2020 The Authors.
