    摘要:

    围绝经期卵巢功能衰退引起的雌激素水平下降是骨质疏松症的重要诱因,探寻安全的膳食干预策略意义重大。为探究浓缩酸樱桃汁对围绝经期骨代谢的影响及机制,采用自然衰老围绝经期小鼠模型,将小鼠随机分为空白对照组、浓缩酸樱桃汁组、阳性药物对照组和植物雌激素阳性对照组,连续灌胃干预28 d后,检测血清雌二醇、促黄体生成素、促卵泡生成素及骨转换标志物水平,通过扫描分析股骨远端骨微结构参数,并利用实时荧光定量PCR检测卵巢及子宫组织中雌激素受体和雌激素合成通路关键基因表达。结果显示,浓缩酸樱桃汁组血清雌二醇水平升高,促黄体生成素和促卵泡生成素水平下降,骨形成标志物骨钙素等水平上调,骨吸收标志物抗酒石酸酸性磷酸酶等水平下调;扫描分析表明骨密度、骨体积分数及骨小梁数量与厚度均提升,骨微结构得到改善;机制研究进一步揭示浓缩酸樱桃汁可上调卵巢雌激素受体α、雌激素受体β及合成关键酶3β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶和17β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶的mRNA表达,同时增强子宫雌激素受体α的表达。最后通过对浓缩酸樱桃汁中异黄酮、有机酸、糖分、矿质元素和游离氨基酸等多种活性成分含量进行检测,初步推测可能机制。上述结果表明,浓缩酸樱桃汁通过增强卵巢局部雌激素合成能力改善围绝经期雌激素缺乏状态,进而双向调控骨代谢平衡、抑制骨丢失并修复骨微结构,具有开发为围绝经期骨骼健康功能性食品的潜力。

    Abstract:

    The decline in estrogen levels resulting from ovarian functional deterioration during perimenopause represents a critical contributing factor to osteoporosis, underscoring the significance of exploring safe dietary intervention strategies. To investigate the effects and mechanisms of concentrated sour cherry juice on bone metabolism during this transitional period, a naturally aging perimenopausal mouse model was employed. Mice were randomly allocated into four groups: control group, sour cherry juice group, positive drug control group, and phytoestrogen positive control group. Following 28 days of continuous intragastric administration, serum levels of estradiol, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and bone turnover markers were measured. Microstructural parameters of the distal femur were analyzed by micro-computed tomography, and the mRNA expression of estrogen receptors and key enzymes in the estrogen synthesis pathway in ovarian and uterine tissues was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The results demonstrated that, compared with the control group, the sour cherry juice group exhibited elevated serum estradiol levels, decreased luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels, upregulated bone formation markers including osteocalcin, and downregulated bone resorption markers such as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b. Micro-CT analysis revealed significant improvements in bone mineral density, bone volume fraction, trabecular number, and trabecular thickness, indicating ameliorated bone microarchitecture. Mechanistic studies further revealed that tart cherry juice upregulated the mRNA expression of estrogen receptor α, estrogen receptor β, and key synthetic enzymes 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the ovary, while enhancing estrogen receptor α expression in the uterus.Finally, by testing the contents of isoflavones, organic acids, sugars, mineral elements, and free amino acids in concentrated sour cherry juice, a preliminary mechanism was speculated. These findings indicate that tart cherry juice alleviates perimenopausal estrogen deficiency by enhancing local estrogen synthetic capacity in the ovary, thereby bidirectionally regulating bone metabolic balance, attenuating bone loss, and restoring bone microarchitecture, suggesting its potential for development as a functional food for skeletal health management during perimenopause.
