Background: Low serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) has been shown to correlate with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of this study was to investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D and glycemic and inflammatory markers in non-obese patients with T2DM. Methods: Eighty-four non-obese patients with T2DM were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Demog...

Background & Aims: Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) comprises 25(OH)D3 and 25(OH)D2. Although sex differences in 25(OH)D levels have been reported, it remains unclear whether the difference lies profiles of 25(OH)D. We determined serum 25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 3-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (3-epi-25(OH)D3), (24R)-24,25-dihydroxyvitamin (24,25(OH)2D3) measured by LC-MS/MS healthy adults not consuming...

Background: Animal and in vitro studies have shown that 25-OH vitamin D plays a significant role in different parts of body. Few data exist about the role of 25- OH vitamin D in reproduction. Insufficient levels during pregnancy are potentially associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, insulin resistance and gestational diabetes mellitus. Recently, few studies have assessed the prognostic...

vitamin d deficiency is the most under-diagnosed medical condition in postmenopausal women. there are few epidemiologic studies on vitamin d status of postmenopausal women in iran. this study aimed to investigate the 25-hydroxyvitamin d levels in postmenopausal women living in tehran, capital of iran. in this cross sectional study, 110 women were selected via convenience sampling method from me...

Background 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH) VitD] deficiency is a highly prevalent condition, present in approximately 30% to 50% of the general population. A growing body of data suggests that low 25(OH) VitD levels may adversely affect cardiovascular health. The present study aimed to measure the serum levels of 25(OH) Vit D in Congenital heart disease (CHD) children compared to healthy children....

background: according to the high prevalence of vitamin d deficiency, a few studies have been conducted to clarify the relationship between 25?hydroxyvitamin d (25(oh)d) and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. the objective of this study was to determine this probable association. materials and methods: serum 25(oh)d, c?reactive protein, malnutrition measurements, and intensive care u...
