PURPOSE: The Japanese Human Milk Study, a longitudinal prospective cohort study, was set up to clarify how maternal health, nutritional status, lifestyle and sociodemographic and economic factors affect breastfeeding practices and human milk composit...
INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D plays a fundamental role in many metabolic pathways, including those involved in cell proliferation and the immune response. Serum levels of this vitamin have been linked to melanoma risk and prognosis. This study aimed to ass...
CYP27B1, a cytochrome P450-containing hydroxylase enzyme, converts vitamin D precursor calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) to its active form calcitriol (1α,25(OH)D). Tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as imatinib is reported to interfere with the acti...
BACKGROUD: It has been reported that vitamin D may play an important role in rotator cuff tears. However, there has been limited information about the prevalence of and risk factors for hypovitaminosis D in patients with rotator cuff tears. Therefore...
