Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have an increased risk of fracture, and the researchers are constantly looking for strategies to prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fracture. A potentially promising strategy is the use of resveratrol.
preclinical research on resveratrol for bone health Animal studies have shown that resveratrol prevents bone loss, reducing mineral density due to immobilization, older age and ovariectomy1-4 and bone healing and repair after surgical interventions or trauma. Osteoblastogenesis, antagonized osteoclasts in vitro , 7-9 and reinforced vitamin D receptor activity.
A clinical study in humans with resveratrol for bone health In view of these positive preclinical results, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study11 was carried out in order to examine the effects of resveratrol on the bone mineral density (BMD) and the biomarkers of the calcium metabolism at T2DM patients. A total of 192 outpatient T2DM patients were randomized and received 500 mg/day (RESV500 arm), 40 mg resveratrol/day (RESV40 arm) or placebo for six months. BMD, bone mineral content (BMC), serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and 25 hydroxy vitamin D were measured at the beginning of the course and after six months. The results were that during the follow-up examination, the calcium concentrations climbed in all patients, while the fluctuations in the alkaline phosphatase within the group were higher in both resveratrol arms and 25 hydroxy vitamin D only increased in the ResV500 arm, without differences between the groups. The full body BMD decreased significantly in the placebo group, while the full body BMC decreased both in the placebo and the RESV40 arm. No significant changes in the BMD and BMC values occurred in the RESV500 arm. The adjusted medium differences of the change compared to the starting value were significantly different for the full body BMD (0.01 vs-0.03 g/cm2, p = 0.001), the full body BMC (4.04 vs-58.8 g, p <0.001.). ), Full body t-score (0.15 vs-0.26) and serum phosphorus (0.07 vs-0.01 µmol/l, p = 0.002). In subgroup analyzes, the BMD values of the patients treated with RESV500 in patients with lower calcium and 25-hydroxy vitamin D values rose to higher values for alcohol drinkers. In summary, it can be said that the supplementation with 500 mg resveratrol prevented the loss of bone density in patients with T2DM, especially in patients with unfavorable starting conditions.
