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 …

Objective To report an update on the role of vitamin D (VD) in ovarian physiology with a
focus on genes involved in steroidogenesis, follicular development, and ovarian reserve, as …

Obesity and vitamin D deficiency have both been recognized as major public health issues
worldwide, and there is growing evidence that they are related, although the cause–effect …

Rationale: Clinical control is difficult to achieve in obese patients with asthma. Bariatric
surgery has been recommended for weight loss and to improve asthma control; however …

In recent years, new functional roles of vitamin D beyond its traditional role in calcium
homoeostasis and bone metabolism have emerged linking the fat-soluble vitamin to various …

Objective: Low vitamin D (VD) levels are common in obesity. We hypothesized that this may
be due to metabolism of VD in adipose tissue (AT). Thus, we studied (1) whether the VD …

Obesity-related oxidative stress, the imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants (eg,
nitric oxide), has been linked to metabolic and cardiovascular disease, including endothelial …

Vitamin D and cholesterol metabolism overlap significantly in the pathways that contribute to
their biosynthesis. However, our understanding of their independent and co-regulation is …

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 …

Context Metabolic disturbances, in particular, insulin resistance (IR) and dyslipidemia, are
common in women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Evidence is …
