Randomised controlled trial analysing supplementation with 250 versus 500 units of vitamin D3,The rate of non-compliance with vitamin D supplementation is as high as 45%. This is why randomised controlled trials are needed to analyse the response...

Analytical bias in the measurement of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in infantsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the reported 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by both age and assay type
Research
Low-dose UV radiation before running wheel access activates brown adipose tissueWhen combined with physical activity, low-dose UVR may more effectively limit adiposity and modulate metabolic and immune pathways in iBAT
Research
Tracking of Vitamin D status from childhood to early adulthood and its association with peak bone massThere are moderate associations between vitamin D status measured in prepuberty, adolescence, and early adulthood
Research
House dust mite induced lung inflammation does not alter circulating vitamin D levelsWe hypothesized that allergic inflammation decreases the level of circulating 25(OH)D and tested this using a mice model of house dust mite (HDM) induced...
