Abstract

Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the impact of melatonin supplementation on clinical and metabolic profiles in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted among 60 patients with PD. Participants were randomly divided into two groups to intake either 10 mg melatonin (two melatonin capsules, 5 mg each) (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30) once a day, 1 h before bedtime for 12 weeks. Results: Melatonin supplementation significantly reduced the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part I score (β �2.33; 95 CI, �3.57, �1.09; P < 0.001), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (β �1.82; 95 CI, �3.36, �0.27; P = 0.02), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (β �3.32; 95 CI, �5.23, �1.41; P = 0.001) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) (β �2.22; 95 CI, �3.84, �0.60; P = 0.008) compared with the placebo treatment. Compared with the placebo, melatonin supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (β �0.94 mg/L; 95 CI, �1.55, �0.32; P = 0.003) and a significant elevation in plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (β 108.09 mmol/L; 95 CI, 78.21, 137.97; P < 0.001) and total glutathione (GSH) levels (β 77.08 μmol/L; 95 CI, 44.29, 109.86; P < 0.001). Additionally, consuming melatonin significantly decreased serum insulin levels (β �1.79 μIU/mL; 95 CI, �3.12, �0.46; P = 0.009), homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (β �0.47; 95 CI, �0.80, �0.13; P = 0.007), total- (β �13.16 mg/dL; 95 CI, �25.14, �1.17; P = 0.03) and LDL- (β �10.44 mg/dL; 95 CI, �20.55, �0.34; P = 0.04) compared with the placebo. Conclusions: Overall, melatonin supplementation for 12 weeks to patients with PD had favorable effects on the UPDRS part I score, PSQI, BDI, BAI, hs-CRP, TAC, GSH, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, total-, LDL-cholesterol, and gene expression of TNF-α, PPAR-γ and LDLR, but did not affect other metabolic profiles. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
