Assessment of vitamin D status - a changing landscape.
In recent years it has been shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased incidence as well as the progression of a broad range of diseases including osteoporosis, rickets, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis and cancer. Consequently, requests for the assessment of vitamin D status have increased dramatically. Despite significant progress in the anal...
متن کاملThe evolving landscape in advanced penile cancer
Penile carcinoma is a rare malignancy with incidence rates which vary in the range of 1–10 cases per 100,000 men according to ethnicity, cultural background, geographic area and social habits [1]. Keratinizing squa-mous cell carcinomas, similar to carcinomas of nongenital skin, and verrucous carcinoma are the most common histologic variants, while basaloid and warty carcinomas are less prevalen...
متن کاملVitamin D receptor and vitamin D metabolizing enzymes are expressed in the human male reproductive tract.
BACKGROUND The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in human testis, and vitamin D (VD) has been suggested to affect survival and function of mature spermatozoa. Indeed, VDR knockout mice and VD deficient rats show decreased sperm counts and low fertility. However, the cellular response to VD is complex, since it is not solely dependent on VDR expression, but also on cellular uptake of circula...
متن کاملVitamin D supplementation and recombinant human erythropoietin utilization in vitamin D-deficient hemodialysis patients.
INTRODUCTION We sought to examine the impact of ergocalciferol (ERGO) on recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) use in a cohort of 25-OH vitamin D (25-D)-deficient hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS Baseline 25-D levels were obtained for all patients who received HD >6 months in our unit. Patients with levels between 10 and 30 ng/mL received ERGO 50,000 IU x 4 doses and patients with levels ...
متن کاملVitamin D Signaling in the Bovine Immune System: A Model for Understanding Human Vitamin D Requirements
The endocrine physiology of vitamin D in cattle has been rigorously investigated and has yielded information on vitamin D requirements, endocrine function in health and disease, general metabolism, and maintenance of calcium homeostasis in cattle. These results are relevant to human vitamin D endocrinology. The current debate regarding vitamin D requirements is centered on the requirements for ...
