Assessing the Combined Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid and Vitamin D3 on Plasma Osteocalcin Levels : a Randomized Controlled Trial in Males and Females With Vitamin D Deficiency

Assessing the combined effect of omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin D 3 on plasma osteocalcin levels

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The data about effect of vitamin D3 (VD3) and omega-3 fatty acids(omega-3FA) on plasma levels of osteocalcin (OCN) are scarce and conflicting and nothing is published in the literature about the effect of the combination of VD3 and omega-3FA on the OCN levels.

This study was conducted to investigate effect of VD3 and omega-3FA alone and with each other on PLASMA OCN levels in females and males with vitamin D deficiency (VDD).

This randomized, controlled clinical trial was designed to test effects of 50,000 IU VD3 weekly and 300 mg omega-3FA daily for eight weeks,separately and with each other, on the plasma levels of OCN and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD).

This study was conducted during winter in 86 healthy Jordanian females and males with VDD with a mean age of (40± 10) years.

Fasting serum levels for 25OHD,OCN, PTH (parathyroid hormone),calcium, phosphate, ALT (alanine aminotransferase), and urea were assessed at baseline and the end of the trial .

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Medical diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency (VD < 30 ng / ml).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • People who previously diagnosed with any chronic disease such as kidney diseases were excluded from the study due to the effect of prolonged administration of VD3 on kidney stones formation.
  • People with bone disorders also excluded.
