The aim of this study was to correlate the Vitamin D level with HBA1c and role of Vitamin D in glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The methods in Present study was conducted in Medicine outdoor, Geriatric outdoor and Diabetic Care and Research Center, S P Medical College and associated group of PBM Hospitals, Bikaner to find out correlation of Vitamin D (Vit D) with glycemic control i...

background vitamin d (vit d) level may change variously in serums of patients undergoing anti-tuberculosis (anti-tb) therapy using antibiotics such as isoniazid and rifampin. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate all components of calcium (ca) regulatory agents in the six- month period of standard anti- tb therapy. patients and methods eight adults whose pulmonary tb had been diagnosed...

Methods This study was performed in a referral allergist’s office in Ontario. Prospectively, all patients (<18 years old) with peanut allergy who were tested for peanut specific IgE (PN IgE) also had Vit D measured. All measurements were done between December 2010 and May 2011. The Vit D measure was 25-hydroxy vitamin D. Patients were divided into three groups: deficient (less than 25 nmol/L), ...

1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), the active metabolite of vitamin D (Vit D), increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, maintaining a correct balance of bone remodeling. Vit D has an anabolic effect on the skeletal system and is key in promoting osteoblastic differentiation of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) from bone marrow. MSCs can be also isolated from the immatu...

Vitamin D is important for normal development and maintenance of the skeleton. Hypovitaminosis D adversely affects calcium metabolism, osteoblastic activity, matrix ossification, bone remodeling and bone density. It is well known that Vit. D deficiency in the developing skeleton is related to rickets, while in adults is related to osteomalacia. The causes of rickets include conditions that lead...

Results: Of 31 patients with MM, 19 cases were male. The median age was 63 (Range: 49-90 years). The mean vit-D level was 11.9±7.6ng/ml, and was low in 20 of 33 cases (93%). The vit D level was significantly lower in cases whom a greater number of chemotherapy cycles was administered (p= 0.033). There was no statistically significant relationship between blood vit D level and bone fracture deve...

OBJECTIVES We investigated the incidence of new non-vertebral fractures during HRT or low-dose vitamin (Vit) D3 supplementation in a 5-year prospective trial. METHODS A total of 464 early postmenopausal women, (a subgroup of the Kuopio Osteoporosis Study, n = 13100) were randomized to four groups: (1) HRT, a sequential combination of 2 mg estradiol valerate and 1 mg cyproterone acetate; (2) V...

Vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency is a common condition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients that negatively affects bone regeneration and fracture healing. Previous study has shown that timely healing of titanium implants is impaired in CKD. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Vit D supplementation on implant osseointegration in CKD mice. Uremia was induced by 5/6 nephrectomy in C57BL...

Objectives AIS is associated with both low bone mass and elevated serum bone alkaline phosphatase. It was also reported the prevalence of AIS was positively correlated with the latitude of the geographical region. These specific features were compatible with the presence of either Vit-D insufficiency or abnormal physiology with Vit-D. It is important to evaluate these potentially treatable cond...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. MetS prevalence has been associated with diet inadequacy. Conversely, the cumulative incidence of MetS has been inversely associated with a Mediterranean-style diet that includes many different health-beneficial nutrients. Adherence to a Mediterranean-s...
