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 …

Vitamin D is a key hormone involved in the regulation of calcium/phosphorous balance and
recently it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sub-inflammation, insulin resistance …

The aim of this study is to determine the relationships of vitamin D with diabetes, insulin
resistance obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Intra cellular vitamin D receptors and the 1-α …

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 …

Vitamin D is characterized as a regulator of homeostasis of bone and mineral metabolism,
but it can also provide nonskeletal actions because vitamin D receptors have been found in …

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 …

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

Obesity and type 2 diabetes have both rapidly increased during the last decades and are
continuing to increase at an alarming rate worldwide. Obesity and impaired glucose …

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 …
