Decreased bone formation and increased mineral dissolution during acute fasting in young women

Abstract: Severe chronic undernutrition is associated with decreased bone turnover and significant bone loss. However, little is known about the short-term effects of nutritional deprivation on bone turnover. To investigate the effects of short-term fasting on bone metabolism and the contribution of acidosis to these changes, 14 healthy women ages 18-26 (mean, 21 +/- 2 (SD years) were randomized to potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3, 2 meq/kg/day in divided doses) to prevent acidosis or control (potassium chloride, 25 meq/day… Show more

“…The present findings are in agreement with previous studies reporting an increase in bone resorption with weight loss (23) or acute fasting (24) which have each been demonstrated to cause an increase in bone resorption. Accordingly, refeeding has been shown to decrease resorptive processes (25).…”

“…The markers of bone turnover, including osteocalcin, collagen I carboxy-terminal propeptides, pyridinoline, and deoxypyridinoline, decline significantly with short-term fasting, even in normal females (27). It suggests that those parameters change rapidly and prior to a detectable change in BMD.…”

“…Clinical studies show that weight loss in obese women increases the rate of bone turnover (68) and bone loss (69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74), and the response may differ during acutely low energy intake and fasting (75,76). The mechanism for these changes is not known but may possibly be related to a slow rise in parathyroid hormone (PTH), and a reduction in sex hormones (69,77).…”
