Genetic Variation in Cytochrome P450 2R1 and Vitamin D Binding Protein Genes are associated with Vitamin D Deficiency in Adolescents.

International journal for vitamin and nutrition research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Vitamin- und Ernahrungsforschung. Journal international de vitaminologie et de nutrition
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have evaluated several genes related to vitamin D synthesis, metabolism and transport. They have proposed a genetic basis for low levels of vitamin D in the blood. The current study aims to investigate the rela...

Directional Relationship Between Vitamin D Status and Prediabetes: A New Approach from Artificial Neural Network in a Cohort of Workers with Overweight-Obesity.

Journal of the American College of Nutrition
Despite the increasing literature on the association of diabetes with inflammation, cardiovascular risk, and vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations, strong evidence on the direction of causality among these factors is still lacking. This gap could be ad...

Vitamin D in the ICU: More sun for critically ill adult patients?

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
Critical illness in patients is characterized by systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Vitamin D has a myriad of biological functions relevant to this population, including immunomodulation by the alteration of cytokine production and nuclear f...

Low vitamin D at ICU admission is associated with cancer, infections, acute respiratory insufficiency, and liver failure.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVES: Vitamin D deficiency may be associated with comorbidities and poor prognosis. However, this association in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the serum...

Effect of combined vitamin D administration plus dietary intervention on oxidative stress markers in patients with metabolic syndrome: A pilot randomized study.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients can have low 25-hydroxyvitamin D 25(OH)VitD levels, which may be associated with increased oxidative stress. There is little data on the effect of 25(OH)VitD administration plus dietary intervention on o...

Non-surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Best practice & research. Clinical endocrinology & metabolism
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the options available for patients with primary hyperparathyrodism (PHPT) not undergoing parathyroidectomy (PTx). Adequate hydration should be recommended in all patients. Calcium intake should not be restric...

Serum vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in a Chinese rural population.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
Several studies have reported a conflicting association between vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism, and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized that serum 25(OH)D concentrations and single nucleotide polymor...

Association between vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance markers in euthyroid non-diabetic individuals.

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
AIM: To evaluate the association between vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in euthyroid non-diabetic individuals.

The effect of vitamin D supplementation on insulin resistance, visceral fat and adiponectin in vitamin D deficient women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology
INTRODUCTION: Low plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD) is associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the development of insulin resistance, visceral fat and low level of adiponectin which are common featur...

Vitamin D deficiency and supplementation in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas treated with immunochemotherapy.

Cancer medicine
Vitamin D deficiency has been reported to be a negative prognostic factor in elderly patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas. In vitro data suggest that vitamin D supplementation may enhance rituximab-mediated cytotoxicity. We prospectively assesse...
