Status of Vitamin-D in diabetic patients
Abstract Background: Vitamin D (vit D) deficiency has been found to have an inverse relationship with the occurrence of type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to assess the vit D level in type-2 diabetic patients. Methods: One hundred-twenty DM patients selected as case group and 120 healthy individuals as control group were investigated in this study from October 2011 to S...
متن کاملVitamin D intake and vitamin D status of Australians.
The main source of vitamin D for Australians is exposure to sunlight. Thus, levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3), the indicator of vitamin D status, vary according to the season and are lower at the end of winter. In Australia and New Zealand, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency varies, but is acknowledged to be much higher than previously thought. One study found marginal deficiency in 23...
متن کاملVitamin D Food Fortification is an Effective Approach for Improving Vitamin D Status; A Systematic Review
Background: Low vitamin D (vit D) serum levels have been linked to various diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. Maintenance of optimal vit D level should be supported by foods and supplements. Limited food sources of vit D made researchers focus on food fortification in recent years. Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials reporting th...
متن کاملVitamin D-binding protein prevents vitamin D deficiency and presents vitamin D for its renal activation.
Two mouse models in which the vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) or megalin, a DBP receptor, were knocked out have recently confirmed that DBP is essential for normal vitamin D homeostasis, and have revealed a major pathway for vitamin D activation (1, 2). DBP is also known as the group-specific component of serum (Gc-globulin). It is a highly polymorphic 58 kDa glycoprotein, which has been used a...
متن کاملVitamin D, vitamin D receptor and tissue barriers
Tissue barriers are critical in the pathogenesis of human diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and various cancers. Preserving or restoring barrier functions of the epithelia cells is a therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat the illness. Mounting evidence indicates that vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) play key roles in the pathogenesis of human disease...
