Effects of Resveratrol, Curcumin and Quercetin Supplementation on Bone Metabolism—A Systematic Review

Abstract

Phenolic compounds are natural phytochemicals that have recently reported numerous health benefits. Resveratrol, curcumin, and quercetin have recently received the most attention among these molecules due to their documented antioxidant effects. The review aims to investigate the effects of these molecules on bone metabolism and their role in several diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis, bone tumours, and periodontitis. The PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Embase electronic databases were searched for papers in line with the study topic. According to an English language restriction, the screening period was from January 2012 to 3 July 2022, with the following Boolean keywords: (“resveratrol” AND “bone”); (“curcumin” AND “bone”); (“quercetin” AND “bone”). A total of 36 papers were identified as relevant to the purpose of our investigation. The studies reported the positive effects of the investigated phenolic compounds on bone metabolism and their potential application as adjuvant treatments for osteoporosis, bone tumours, and periodontitis. Furthermore, their use on the titanium surfaces of orthopaedic prostheses could represent a possible application to improve the osteogenic processes and osseointegration. According to the study findings, resveratrol, curcumin, and quercetin are reported to have a wide variety of beneficial effects as supplement therapies. The investigated phenolic compounds seem to positively mediate bone metabolism and osteoclast-related pathologies.

Analysis of Dental Enamel Remineralization: A Systematic Review of Technique Comparisons

“…Different types of microorganisms constitute the biofilm that adheres to the tooth surface [ 15 ]. This microbial colony stabilizes the oral pH and protects the environment from exogenous and pathogenic species [ 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

“…If caught early, WSLs result in reversible lesions. If, on the contrary, the acidic environment is not eliminated or reduced, WSLs can evolve into cavitated lesions ( Figure 2 ) [ 18 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Advancements in lead therapeutic phytochemicals polycystic ovary syndrome: A review

“…Interestingly, some of the phytochemicals can directly or indirectly affect bone metabolism. For example, Frontiers in Pharmacology frontiersin.org quercetin and curcumin can specifically mediate bone metabolism and osteoclast-related pathologies (Bian et al, 2021;Inchingolo et al, 2022); soy isoflavones can directly participate in bone metabolism and maintain the development of bones (Uehara, 2013;Pawlowski et al, 2015); resveratrol can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of OB cells or inhibit the osteoclastic resorption (Vidoni et al, 2019;Inchingolo et al, 2022); and berberine can not only directly participate in bone metabolism, but also reduce the production of adipocytes (Jia et al, 2019). Notably, there is an inverse relationship between adipocytes and osteoblasts in bone marrow, which can indirectly affect bone metabolism by reducing the production of bone marrow adipocytes (Rayalam et al, 2011).…”

“…The genetic composition of the microbiota is called the microbiome [ 47 ]. The intestinal microbiota, with its metabolites (short-chain fatty acids SCFA and intestinal wall lipids) interacts with resveratrol (RSV), a naturally-occurring polyphenol, whose anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant and immunostimulant properties improve the clinical consequences of metabolic syndrome, which is frequent in industrialized and developed populations, characterized by obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular disorders [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”
