Previous studies have pointed out a link between vitamin D status and metabolic traits,
however, consistent evidence has not been provided yet. This cross-sectional study has …

Context: Observational studies have suggested that higher circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D
[25 (OH) D] levels are associated with favorable serum lipids and related metabolites …

Abstract Context: Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] concentrations have been
consistently associated with excess mortality in epidemiological studies, but this association …

Vitamin D requires activation to show its pharmacological effect. While most studies
investigate the association between vitamin D and disease, only a few focus on the impact of …

Purpose Given that the relationship between vitamin D status and metabolic diseases such
as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear, this review will focus on the genetic …

Background The GC haplotype of the vitamin D binding protein (encoded by the GC gene)
might be a risk factor to the vitamin D (VD) nutritional status for many populations, while …

Genetic factors likely influence individuals' concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH)
D], a biomarker of vitamin D exposure previously linked to reduced risk of several chronic …

Inadequate vitamin D status is highly prevalent in the Korean population, especially among
young adults. Nonetheless, correlates of suboptimal vitamin D levels in young adults are not …

In addition to sunlight and dietary sources, several genes in the metabolic pathway of
vitamin D affect serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration. It is not known whether …

Background: Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have evaluated several genes
related to vitamin D synthesis, metabolism and transport. They have proposed a genetic …
