Osteoporosis, a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density and
deterioration of bone microarchitecture, has led to a high risk of fatal osteoporotic fractures …

There is general consensus that serum 25 (OH) D is the best biochemical marker for
nutritional vitamin D status. Whether free 25 (OH) D would be a better marker than total 25 …

Studies examining the relationship between total circulating 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH)
D] levels and bone mineral density (BMD) have yielded mixed results. Vitamin D–binding …

Background: Vitamin D status, determined on the basis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D]
concentrations, is associated with the risk of several diseases. Vitamin D binding protein …

The vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is the major plasma carrier for vitamin D and its
metabolites, but it is also an actin scavenger, and is the precursor to the immunomodulatory …

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density and structural deterioration of
bone tissue, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is the most common metabolic bone …

Numerous physiological processes of mammals, including bone metabolism, are regulated
by the circadian clock system, which consists of a central regulator, the suprachiasmatic …

Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is the major carrier protein of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)
D) in the circulation, where it may serve roles in maintaining stable levels during times of …

Many critically ill patients are vitamin D and vitamin C deficient and the current international
guidelines state that hypovitaminoses should be compensated. However, uncertainty about …

Beyond the established effects of muscle loading on bone, a complex network of hormones
