Radkhah N, Zarezadeh M, Jamilian P, Ostadrahimi A. The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Lipid Profiles: an Umbrella Review of Meta-Analyses. Adv Nutr 2023; 14:1479-1498. [PMID: 37657652 PMCID: PMC10721514 DOI: 10.1016/j.advnut.2023.08.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
According to published meta-analyses, vitamin D exerts different beneficial effects in preventing and controlling risk factors associated with noncommunicable chronic diseases; however, the results are still conflicting. The purpose of this umbrella meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) as components of the lipid profile. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were systematically searched for meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials. The umbrella meta-analysis followed the PRISMA guidelines. The random-effects model was employed to estimate the overall effect size (ES). Overall, 25 meta-analyses were included. In the standardized mean difference analysis, vitamin D significantly decreased TG (ES: -0.15; 95% CI: -0.23, -0.08; P ≤ 0.001) and TC levels (ES: -0.17; 95% CI: -0.23, -0.11; P ≤ 0.001) and increased HDL levels (ES: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.15; P = 0.025). In the weighted mean difference analysis, vitamin D significantly decreased only TG levels (ES: -4.63 mg/dL; 95% CI: -7.70, -1.57; P = 0.003). The present study supports that vitamin D supplementation could be considered a beneficial adjuvant therapy in managing lipid profile levels, especially in individuals with vitamin D deficiency. This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO as CRD42022306334.

Abstract
PURPOSE The results of meta-analyses regarding the effect of vitamin D on blood pressure are conflicting. The present umbrella meta-analysis was conducted to provide definite and conclusive results. METHODS Systematically, Scopus, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science databases and Google Scholar were searched for relevant literature published up to July 2022. All meta-analyses of clinical trials addressing the effect of vitamin D on blood pressure were included. Random effects analysis was performed to obtain the overall effect size based on the standardized mean differences (SMDs) and weighted mean differences (WMDs) separately. The quality of included meta-analyses was assessed by using the Measurement Tool for Assessing Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 questionnaire. FINDINGS Overall, 21 meta-analyses were enrolled in the umbrella review. The results indicated that systolic blood pressure was significantly reduced after the intervention based on WMD effect size analysis (ESWMD = -0.69 mm Hg; 95% CI, -1.35 to -0.04 [P < 0.038]; I2 = 46.7%, P = 0.021); however, no considerable impact was observed based on analysis of SMD effect sizes (ESSMD = -0.05 mm Hg; 95% CI, -0.24 to 0.14; P = 0.615). Also, vitamin D supplementation indicated a significant improvement in diastolic blood pressure based on WMD effect sizes (ESWMD = -0.66 mm Hg; 95% CI, -1.05 to -0.27 [P < 0.001]; I2 = 56.4%, P = 0.004) but not SMD analysis (ESSMD = -0.04 mm Hg; 95% CI, -0.13 to 0.04 [P = 0.328]; I2 = 53.4%, P = 0.057). IMPLICATIONS Based on obtained evidence, vitamin D could be considered an efficient adjuvant for improving blood pressure.

Abstract
CONTEXT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common and complex endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Vitamin D supplementation is a promising complementary therapy for PCOS, yet there is no consensus on an optimal dose, leading to a lack of evidence-based supplementation guidelines. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to conduct a vitamin D dose-response meta-analysis among women with PCOS. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE databases from inception to November 2022 were searched for relevant articles. DATA EXTRACTION Study screening and bias assessment were conducted by 2 independent reviewers. Eight relevant studies were identified; data for serum 25(OH)D (nmol/L) at baseline and at 12 weeks in each intervention group (mean ± SD) and vitamin D dose were extracted. DATA ANALYSIS Estimates across studies were used to create a pooled curve, using restricted cubic splines with knots at the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of the distribution of doses, to estimate the mean difference in effect for serum 25(OH)D at each dose compared with 0 IU/day. Sensitivity analyses were conducted fixing knots at 4000 IU/day and 7000 IU/day, which were a priori identified as potentially important thresholds, and to assess model fit and estimate heterogeneity. The pooled analysis demonstrated strong evidence of a dose-response relationship (P < .001), suggesting an increasing effect with increasing dose. An initial increase in serum 25(OH)D was evident until doses of approximately 3000 IU/day; this was followed by a plateau in effect between approximately 3000 IU/day and 5000 IU/day. The effect of supplementation with >5000 IU/day was unclear, given the minimal data at higher doses. The curve produced robust results for moderate doses (3000 IU/day to 4000 IU/day), which were not sensitive to model specification. CONCLUSION Women with PCOS are responsive to vitamin D supplementation, but the benefit of providing doses of >3000 IU/day appears minimal. Further data is required to determine dose-response at doses of >5000 IU/day, and whether higher intakes provide a clinically meaningful advantage in this population.

Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent and heterogenous endocrinopathy affecting 5-18% of women. Although its cardinal features include androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, and/or polycystic ovarian morphology, women often display related metabolic manifestations, including hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance, and obesity. Emerging data reveal that the hormonal alterations associated with PCOS also impact bone metabolism. However, inconsistent evidence exists as to whether PCOS is a bone-protective or bone-hindering disorder with an accumulating body of clinical data indicating that hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance, and obesity may have a relative protective influence on bone, whereas chronic low-grade inflammation and vitamin D deficiency may adversely affect bone health. Herein, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the endocrine and metabolic manifestations associated with PCOS and their relative effects on bone metabolism. We focus principally on clinical studies in women investigating their contribution to the alterations in bone turnover markers, bone mineral density, and ultimately fracture risk in PCOS. A thorough understanding in this regard will indicate whether women with PCOS require enhanced surveillance of bone health in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D supplementation exerts several supporting effects on improving glycemic status, however, results are inconclusive. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to conduct an umbrella of meta-analysis regarding the impact of vitamin D on type 2 diabetes (T2DM) biomarkers. METHODS The Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar online databases were searched up to March 2022. All meta-analyses evaluating the impact of vitamin D supplementation on T2DM biomarkers were considered eligible. Overall, 37 meta-analyses were included in this umbrella meta-analysis. RESULTS Our findings indicated that vitamin D supplementation significantly decreased fasting blood sugar (FBS) (WMD = - 3.08; 95% CI: - 3.97, - 2.19, p < 0.001, and SMD = - 0.26; 95% CI: - 0.38, - 0.14, p < 0.001), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (WMD = - 0.05; 95% CI: - 0.10, - 0.01, p = 0.016, and SMD = - 0.16; 95% CI: - 0.27, - 0.05, p = 0.004), insulin concentrations (WMD = - 2.62; 95% CI: - 4.11, - 1.13; p < 0.001, and SMD = - 0.33; 95% CI: - 0.56, - 0.11, p = 0.004), and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (WMD = - 0.67; 95% CI: - 1.01, - 0.32, p < 0.001, and SMD = - 0.31; 95% CI: - 0.46, - 0.16, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This umbrella meta-analysis proposed that vitamin D supplementation may improve T2DM biomarkers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive disorder with a heterogeneous phenotype. As the exact etiology of PCOS is still unclear, available pharmacotherapies are mostly directed toward alleviating symptoms and associated metabolic abnormalities. AREAS COVERED Herein, we present an overview of the current and emerging pharmacotherapies for the management of women with PCOS who do not seek pregnancy. We performed a literature search in PubMed database up to January 2022 and reviewed papers assessing drug treatments for PCOS. We aimed to outline the most recent evidence to support treatment recommendations in these patients. EXPERT OPINION Targets for medical treatment include hormonal, reproductive, and metabolic abnormalities in PCOS. However, none of the available pharmacological options can cover the entire spectrum of clinical manifestations observed in these patients. Considering the heterogeneity of PCOS, treatment should be individualized and adapted to specific needs of each patient. Better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of PCOS would help development of novel, safer, and more effective multi-targeted therapeutic strategies for the syndrome.

Abstract
CONTEXT Numerous meta-analyses have been conducted on the effects of nutritional interventions on various health outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the strength of the evidence and its clinical significance are unclear. OBJECTIVE This umbrella review aimed to summarize the effects of nutritional interventions on women with PCOS and assess the strength of the evidence. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception until March 17, 2021. DATA EXTRACTION Meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that examined the impact of dietary modifications or supplementations on women with PCOS were selected. Data extraction, quality assessments of the meta-analyses, and evaluation of the strength of the evidence were conducted independently by 2 investigators and confirmed by a third. DATA ANALYSIS Twenty-eight RCT meta-analyses were included, reporting 40 different outcomes. Lower carbohydrate, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or lower glycemic index/load diets in women with PCOS significantly improved some anthropometric and metabolic characteristics (with very low to low certainty). Probiotics/synbiotics reduced fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin (FI), and homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (with moderate to high certainty). Curcumin supplementation decreased fasting plasma glucose, FI, and HOMA-IR (with moderate certainty). Fish oil supplementation decreased FI and HOMA-IR, and omega-3 reduced triglycerides (with moderate certainty). There were also improvements in FI after taking vitamin D or inositol supplements (with moderate certainty). Supplementation with fish oil increased adiponectin (with high certainty), and probiotics/synbiotics reduced total testosterone (with moderate certainty). In subfertile women with PCOS, inositol increased the ovulation rates (with moderate certainty). CONCLUSION There was no high-certainty evidence that diets alone in women with PCOS improved health or reproductive outcomes. Supplementation with vitamin D, probiotics/synbiotics, omega-3, inositol, and curcumin showed favorable effects on some metabolic outcomes. Probiotics/synbiotics possibly reduces total testosterone, and inositol stimulates ovulation in women with PCOS. REGISTRATION PROSPERO registration no. CRD42021251496.

Abstract
Despite the growing evidence from meta-analyses on vitamin D’s anti-obesity properties, their results are controversial. The current umbrella review was performed to assess the available evidence and provide a conclusive explanation in this regard. The international databases PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar were systematically searched till March, 2022. A random-effects model was used to run the meta-analysis. All meta-analyses that examined the effect of vitamin D supplementation on BW, BMI, WC, and fat mass were included. Findings of 14 meta-analyses revealed that vitamin D supplementation reduced body mass index (BMI) (ES: −0.11 kg/m2; 95% CI: −0.18, −0.05, p?0.001; I2 = 61.0%, p < 0.001), and waist circumference (WC) (ES = −0.79 cm; 95% CI: −1.20, −0.37; p < 0.001; I2 = 46.5%, p = 0.096) in comparison to control group. However, the effects of vitamin D on body weight (ES = −0.16 kg, 95% CI: −0.36, 0.04; p = 0.125; I2 = 57.0%, p = 0.017), and fat mass (ES: 0.02, 95% CI: −0.20, 0.24, p = 0.868; I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.531) were not considerable. Vitamin D supplementation significantly improved levels of obesity indices such as BMI, and WC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Findings of observational studies that investigated the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and abnormal glucose homeostasis were contradictory. This meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies evaluated the association of vitamin D status and risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes in adults. METHODS A systematic search was conducted on all published articles in five electronic databases (including MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Institute for Scientific Information, Scopus and Google scholar), up to August 2020. Twenty-eight prospective cohort and nested case-control studies and 83 cross-sectional and case-control investigations that reported relative risks (RRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for abnormal glucose homeostasis in relation to serum vitamin D levels in adults were included in the analysis. RESULTS In prospective studies, high versus low level of vitamin D was respectively associated with significant 35%, 30% and 51% decrease in risk of T2D (RR:0.65; 95%CI: 0.55-0.76; 27 effect sizes), combined T2D and pre-diabetes (RR:0.70; 95%CI: 0.52-0.95; 9 effect sizes) and pre-diabetes (RR:0.49; 95%CI: 0.26-0.93; 2 effect sizes). These inverse associations were significant in almost all subgroups. Dose-response analysis in prospective studies showed that each 10 ng/ml increase in serum vitamin D levels resulted in 12% and 11% reduced risk of T2D (RR:0.88; 95%CI: 0.83-0.94) and combined T2D and prediabetes (RR:0.89; 95%CI: 0.87-0.92), respectively. In cross-sectional and case-control studies, highest versus lowest level of serum vitamin D was linked to reduced odds of T2D (OR:0.64; 95%CI: 0.57-0.72; 42 effect sizes) and combined T2D and pre-diabetes (OR:0.79; 95%CI: 0.74-0.85; 59 effect sizes); but not pre-diabetes (OR:0.64; 95%CI: 0.17-2.37; 11 effect sizes). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies disclosed that serum vitamin D level was reversely associated with the risk of T2D and combined T2D and prediabetes in adults, in a dose-response manner. However, the association was not remarkable for pre-diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lncRNA LINC00477 in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), especially the impacts of LINC00477 on the proliferation and migration of human granulosa cells and the related mechanisms. METHODS qRT-PCR analysis was performed to examine the expression pattern of LINC00477 in serum samples of PCOS patients as well as PCOS animal models. The effect of LINC00477 on the viability and apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells was detected by MTT and flow cytometry assays. The correlation between LINC00477 and miR-128 was verified by bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Finally, rescue assays were performed to analyze the effects of the LINC00477-miR-128 axis on the biological behaviors of granulosa cells. RESULTS LINC00477 was significantly upregulated in the serum of PCOS patients as well as PCOS mouse models. LINC00477 overexpression inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of granulosa cells, whereas knockdown of LINC00477 yielded the opposite effects. Moreover, miR-128 mimics partially abrogated the effect of LINC00477 on granulosa cells. CONCLUSION LINC00477 may function as a ceRNA to inhibit proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells by modulating miR-128 expression.

[PMID: 33670644 PMCID: PMC7922814 DOI: 10.3390/metabo11020116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among premenopausal women. PCOS may have reproductive, metabolic, cardiovascular, and psychological implications. Vitamin D deficit is often encountered in PCOS women and may contribute to the pathophysiology of this disorder. As of the key role of vitamin D in bone and mineral metabolism, and because the vitamin D status appears to be closely linked with the PCOS manifestations including insulin resistance, obesity, ovulatory and menstrual irregularities, oxidative stress and PTH elevation, hypovitaminosis D may directly and indirectly via the different facets of PCOS impair bone health in these women. Although limited data are available on life-long fracture risk in women with PCOS, the importance of preserving bone health in youth and adults to prevent osteoporosis and related fractures is also recognized in PCOS women. Evidence of the association between vitamin D and the clinical hallmarks of PCOS are summarized and discussed. Vitamin D arises as a cornerstone in women with PCOS and contributes to the pathophysiological link between PCOS and bone metabolism.

Contraceptive and molecular function of a novel recombinant vaccine based human leukemia inhibitory factor on Balb/c mice: An experimental in vivo study. J Reprod Immunol 2020; 142:103195. [PMID: 32927320 DOI: 10.1016/j.jri.2020.103195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2020] [Revised: 08/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The functional competence of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), as immunocontraceptive vaccine in mice, was investigated. Balb/c mice were divided into two groups of vaccinated and controls. The recombinant human LIF (rhLIF) protein and phosphate buffer saline was emulsified with Freund's adjuvant and injected into vaccinated and control groups, respectively. Theinhibition of implantation was evaluated in mice uterine. The concentration of secreted interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin (IL)-4 were measured in cultured splenocyte of mice stimulated by rhLIF. The expressions of immune responsive gene 1 (IRG-1), cochlin (COCH), amphiregulin(Ar), and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) genes were determined. Mice were assessed for inhibition of fertility after delivery, reversibility of immune response against rhLIF, and survival rate. Active immunization of mice with rhLIF resulted in reduction of the implantation and fertility rate up to 80.49% and 75%, respectively. All mice produced a high titer of anti-rhLIF antibodies in serums and vaginal fluids washes after 16 weeks; however, these antibodies were cleared from vaginal fluid washes after six months. A significant down-regulation in mRNA levels of IRG-1, Ar and HB-EGF was observed in vaccinated group compared to controls; however, no significant change in the expression profile of cochlin gene was detected. The results showed that rhLIF prevented pregnancy in a high percentage of female mice. Although the immunization of female Balb/c mice with rhLIF inhibited fertility and expression of genes associated with this molecule, further studies are needed to support this protein as a suitable candidate for contraceptive vaccine in mammals.
