ABSTRACT
Introduction:
In postmenopausal women, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with disability, low muscle mass and fractures. Irisin is an important myokine that may contribute to the maintenance of muscle and bone density. Vitamin D is associated with the growth and function of muscle tissue through interactions between the vitamin D receptor and PGC-1α and activation of p38/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) in muscle, a mechanism similar to irisin action. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of cholecalciferol supplementation on serum irisin levels in sedentary postmenopausal women with hypovitaminosis D (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL). Material andmethods:
80 sedentary postmenopausal women with hypovitaminosis D and low sun exposure were supplemented with cholecalciferol (30,000 IU/month) for 12 months. Calcium, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase (AP) and irisin levels were measured before and after supplementation.Results:
25(OH) vitamin D increased in all participants. Serum levels of irisin increased (from 0.52 ± 0.27 to 0.80 ± 0.53; p < 0.003), accompanied by a decrease in AP (from 80 ± 24 to 66 ± 23; p < 0.001).Conclusions:
Restoration of vitamin D status increased serum irisin levels in sedentary postmenopausal women. Whether increased serum irisin levels may have an impact on clinical outcomes deserves further evaluation.
