Abstract
Background
Insulin resistance (IR), defined as an impaired response to insulin stimulation of target tissues, is a substantial determinant of many metabolic disorders. This study aimed to update the findings of the previous systematic review evidence regarding the effect of melatonin on factors related to IR, including hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI).
Methods
We systematically reviewed the evidence on the impact of melatonin supplementation on IR indices, fasting insulin, and fasting plasma glucose. PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar databases were searched until March 2024.
Results
We identified 6114 potentially relevant articles during the search. Eighteen animal studies and 15 randomized clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. The results indicated that melatonin supplementation reduced fasting plasma glucose (FPG, 14 out of 29 studies), fasting insulin (22 out of 28 studies), HOMA-IR (28 out of 33 studies), and increased QUICKI (7 out of 7 studies). According to RCT studies, melatonin treatment at a dosage of 10 mg reduced HOMA-IR levels in individuals with various health conditions.
Conclusion
According to most evidence, melatonin supplementation may decrease fasting insulin and HOMA-IR and increase QUICKI but may not affect FPG.
