Childhood obesity is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recent studies have found associations between vitamin D deficiency (VDD), insulin resistance (IR), and NAFLD among overweight children. To further explore mechanisms mediating these effects,
Several epidemiological reports demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency elevated risk of preterm delivery. We investigate the effects of oral cholecalciferol (VD3) supplementation on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced preterm delivery. Pregnant mice were randomly assigned to either oral VD3 (25 μg/kg)
BACKGROUND
Postoperative peritoneal adhesions are major complications of abdomino-pelvic surgeries. We aim to investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation on postoperative peritoneal adhesion (PPA) in a rat model.
METHODS
This randomized,
It is not known if the effects of vitamin D deficiency on chick bone are due to direct actions of the vitamin or if they are secondary to other changes, such as hypocalcemia. Day-old cockerels were fed either a rachitogenic diet containing no Ca (-D-Ca), 1.4% Ca (-D), or 3% Ca (-DHiCa) and given
