The Disorder of Vitamin D Metabolism in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Vitamin D status, bone metabolism and bone mass in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.

INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is seen in some 12-50 % patients with liver cirrhosis. Detrimental effects of alcohol are exerted directly on the bone cells and indirectly on hormones. Vitamin D is involved in osteoblast differentiation, bone matrix synthesis and bone mineralization, as well as in its decomposition. Vitamin D deficiency has been reported in about 2/3 patients with liver cirrhosis. ...

Abnormal vitamin D metabolism in cirrhosis.

Vitamin D metabolism was investigated in 10 patients with cirrhosis. Mean plasma 25 hydroxycholecalciferol (25 OHD) centration in alcoholic cirrhosis was lower than in controls but the difference was not significant. In three patients restudied after the summer, plasma 25 OHD had risen. In contrast to the finding in normal subjects, the half-life of intravenously administered 3H cholecalciferol...

The Comparison of the Protective Effect of L-Carnitine, Chromium and Vitamin D with Metformin on Liver, Antioxidant Enzyme Activity, and Iron Metabolism in Diabetic Rats

Objective: Due to the lack of information about the positive or negative effects of L-carnitine, chromium, vitamin D, and the uptake of a safe dietary supplement to reduce the effects of diabetes, it seems essential to determine the effects of these drugs on diabetes. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats were divided into 12 groups, control, diabetic, and intact, each of which was treated with m...
