Abstract Purpose of Review There is a growing, largely inconsistent, literature on the role of
vitamin D in association with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance/insulin secretion, glycemic …

Vitamin D functions are not limited to skeletal health benefits and may extend to preservation
of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. This review summarizes the literature related to …

Recent compelling evidence suggests a role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of
insulin resistance and insulin secretion derangements, with a consequent possible …

Available data suggest a possible link between abnormal vitamin D level and abnormal
glucose homeostasis, two of the most common chronic medical conditions. Both conditions …

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a significant global health care problem, and pharmacotherapies
to treat the disease continue to emerge. However, the increasing burden of type 2 diabetes …

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a decreased insulin release, insulin resistance and
type 2 diabetes in experimental and epidemiological studies. Animal studies show that 1α …

The growing incidence of prediabetes and clinical type 2 diabetes, in part characterised by
insulin resistance, is a critical health problem with consequent devastating personal and …

This review examines available evidence of links between abnormalities of glucose and
insulin metabolism and vitamin D deficiency. Possible mechanisms of action of vitamin D …

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to climb in many parts of the globe in
association with the rise in obesity. Although the latter is clearly a predominant factor in the …

Recent evidence has revealed anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D as well as extra-
skeletal activity. In this context, vitamin D seems to be involved in infections, autoimmune …
