Oral Supplementation with Cholecalciferol 800 IU Ameliorates Albuminuria in Chinese Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Nephropathy
BACKGROUND Low vitamin D levels can be associated with albuminuria, and vitamin D analogs are effective anti-proteinuric agents. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in vitamin D levels between those with micro- and those with macroalbuminuria, and to determine whether low dose cholecalciferol increases vitamin D levels and ameliorates albuminuria. METHODS Two studies were per...
متن کاملCholecalciferol supplementation reduces soluble Klotho concentration in hemodialysis patients.
INTRODUCTION Low levels of vitamin D are linked to numerous adverse clinical conditions in hemodialysis (HD) patients, including disturbances of mineral and bone metabolism and increased mortality. Klotho, a molecule involved in such processes as phosphate homeostasis and aging, exists in 2 forms: a transmembrane protein acting as a coreceptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and solubl...
متن کاملSupplementation with cholecalciferol does not result in weight reduction in overweight and obese subjects.
OBJECTIVE Investigate whether cholecalciferol supplementation leads to weight loss in overweight and obese adults. DESIGN Randomized double blind clinical trial with 20,000 IU cholecalciferol twice a week, or 20,000 IU once a week plus placebo, or placebo twice a week, for 12 months. All subjects were given 500 mg calcium supplementation. METHODS Four hundred and forty five healthy, overwei...
متن کاملImmune dysfunction in cancer patients.
Immune deficiency in cancer patients is well documented, and tumor cells have developed a variety of cellular and molecular mechanisms to avoid antitumor immune responses. These mechanisms include defective presentation of tumor antigens on the cell surface and/or an inability of the host to effectively recognize these cells and target them for destruction. Tumor-induced defects are known to oc...
متن کاملNitric oxide mediates immune dysfunction in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
The immune system of the spontaneously hypertensive rat is dysfunctional compared with that of normotensive control strains. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that immunodepression in the spontaneously hypertensive rat was mediated by macrophages. The current study examines the mechanism for the depressed proliferative responses to concanavalin A typically observed by splenic mono...
