Objectives:
This meta-analysis aims to systematically evaluate the impact of resveratrol on postmenopausal women.
Methods:
We searched seven electronic databases and conducted meta-analyses using Stata 12.0.
Results:
Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 928 participants were identified. Resveratrol significantly reduced pain scores (WMD: -2.841, 95% CI: -5.631 to -0.050, p = 0.046), pain VAS scores (WMD: -7.585, 95% CI: -12.912 to -2.257, p = 0.005), PPI scores (WMD: -8.563, 95% CI: -12.866 to -4.261, p < 0.001), and CTX levels (WMD: -0.137, 95% CI: -0.204 to -0.070, p < 0.001). However, no significant effects were observed on cognition and memory (e.g., PVT, ORR, PSM, RAVLT, LSWM, FSS, DCCS, FICA, TMT), mood (depression, overall mood), metabolic parameters (glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C), blood pressure, sleep disturbance, menopausal symptoms, SF-36 quality of life, or bone markers ALP and OC.
Conclusion:
Resveratrol may improve pain and bone metabolism (CTX) in postmenopausal women but did not affect other examined outcomes. Future large-scale trials are needed to confirm these findings and determine optimal dosing and treatment strategies.

01:22Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
01:30Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
