The objective of this study was to investigate whether the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations in winter are associated with the BMD in elderly Japanese women. The subjects were 117 healthy elderly Japanese women. Serum 25(OH)D ...
Vitamin D insufficiency, a risk factor for osteoporosis, has been well investigated in elderly women worldwide, but little information has been available for younger women. This study aimed to determine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in ...
Objective: There is growing evidence that vitamin D may have immunomodulatory properties in Crohns disease (CD). The aim of this study was to determine if serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] was associated with inflammatory cytokines, IL-10, and TNF-...
Purpose: It has previously been shown that there is a threshold of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D below which secondary hyperparathyroidism may occur. Our purpose was to estimate this threshold in a population of migrant African women living in Paris.Methods: ...
An increased rate of bone turnover increases risk of osteoporotic fracture later in life. The concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D that contributes to an elevated rate of bone turnover in older adults is unclear. The objective of this study was to ...
Abstract. It has been determined that individuals who are regularly physically active have more favorable inflammatory profiles; less is known about how vitamin D levels can impact inflammation. This study explored ...
Abstract. Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels remain a challenge worldwide. While some in vitro studies show a caffeine-induced decrease in vitamin D receptor expression, there is a paucity of research to define the extent of caffeine intake ...
Abstract: Results regarding the epidemiological association of vitamin D with lung (LCA) and prostate cancer (PCA) are controversial. This study tested whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations have interactive epidemiological ...
