AimThe purpose of the study is to increase the effectiveness of treatment of metabolic syndrome (MS) in young patients with vitamin D deficiency.Materials And MethodsThe study involved 54 patients with MS and vitamin D deficiency (50% of women, 50% of men), aged 2044years. To assess the concentration of melatonin at a young age, a control group of 42 practically healthy volunteers with comparable demographic characteristics with no signs of MS was formed.ResultsIn patients with MS and vitamin D deficiency, there was a significant decrease in the average daily level of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin in the urine by 3.7 times, compared with the group of individuals without MS. Patients with MS and vitamin D deficiency (n=54) were randomly assigned to two groups with comparable clinical and demographic characteristics. Patients of the 1st group (n=27) observed dietary recommendations and took the drug Metformin at a dose of 1700 mg/day for 12 months. In the 2nd group (n=27), in addition to the one indicated in the 1st treatment group, correction of vitamin D deficiency was performed (a micelled preparation of cholecalciferol at a dose of 4000 IU/day, for 6 months, then 2000 IU/day for another 6 months) and the level of melatonin (melatonin preparation at a dose of 3 mg/day for 6 months). After treatment in young patients with MS, there was a significant change in the median of the studied parameters in all therapeutic groups, but more pronounced dynamics was observed in group 2 in terms of: WC in women, BMI, insulin resistance index, LDL cholesterol, TG, hs-CRP, hs-TNF-, IL-6, leptin.ConclusionTo increase the effectiveness of MS treatment in young patients with vitamin D deficiency, it is necessary to determine the level of melatonin (urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin) and, if it decreases, carry out correction of melatonin and 25 (OH) vitamin D in addition to the standard therapy of this syndrome.
