Novel Insight Into the Relationship of Vitamin D Hydroxylase and Vitamin D With Obesity in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cureus 2023; 15:e49950. [PMID: 38179344 PMCID: PMC10765456 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.49950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, there is often a vitamin D deficiency, which is crucial for many physiological processes. The enzyme 25-D hydroxylase activates vitamin D, and its status has been linked to glucose and lipid metabolism in these patients. This study investigates the correlation between the levels of 25-D hydroxylase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and their impact on glucose and lipid metabolism in Saudi patients with T2DM and obesity. METHODS This study involved 150 Saudi participants (ages 35-70) of both genders from King Faisal Medical Complex in Taif. The participants were divided into control, type 2 diabetic, and obese diabetic patient groups, with 50 subjects in each group. Serum levels of 25(OH) vitamin D and 25-D hydroxylase were measured using ELISA. In contrast, an automatic analyzer for chemistry tests was used to measure fasting blood glucose (FBG), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and lipid profile levels. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)% was analyzed using the automatic glycosylated hemoglobin analyzer. In addition, the body mass index (BMI) value was calculated using the equation (BMI = weight in kilograms/height in meters squared). RESULTS In obese with T2DM and T2DM patient groups, there were significant increases (p < 0.0001) in BMI, FBG, HbA1c%, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), AST, and ALT levels and significant decreases (p < 0.0001) in 25(OH) vitamin D, 25-D hydroxylase, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels compared to the control group. There were significant positive correlations between vitamin D with 25-D hydroxylase and HDL-C and negative correlations with HbA1c%, FBG, TC, TG, LDL-C, ALT, AST, and BMI in the studied patient groups. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that lower levels of the enzyme 25-D hydroxylase are linked to reduced vitamin D levels in people with T2DM and obese diabetic patients. Additionally, there was a notable correlation between vitamin D levels and BMI, lipid profile, FBG, HbA1c%, AST, and ALT levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is known to be a protective factor against osteoporosis. However, recent studies have shown that excessive adiposity may be detrimental for bone health. OBJECTIVE To determine the association of lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) with bone mineral density (BMD) in Thais. METHODS Bone density studies of consecutive patients of Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand between 2010 and 2015 were reviewed. LM, FM, lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) BMD were measured. Lean mass index (LMI) and fat mass index (FMI) were calculated [LMI=LM (kg)/height (m)2, FMI=FM (kg)/height (m)2] and analyzed to determine the association with LS and FN BMD using multiple regression analysis. This study was approved by the institutional ethical committee (HE42116). RESULTS A total of 831 participants were included. The mean ± SD age was 50.0 ± 16.3 years. In men, LMI (per 1 kg/m2 increase) was positively correlated with FN BMD (g/cm2, β 0.033) and LS BMD (g/cm2, β 0.031), after adjusting for age, height and FMI. Whereas FMI (per 1 kg/m2 increase) was negatively correlated with FN BMD (g/cm2, β -0.015) but not with LS BMD (g/cm2, β 0.005) after adjusting for age, height and LMI. In women, both LMI and FMI were positively correlated with LS BMD (g/cm2, LMI: β 0.012; FMI: β 0.016) and FN BMD (g/cm2, LMI: β 0.034; FMI: β 0.007) with age, height, LMI and FMI included in the model. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that FM has a sex-specific influence on BMD in Thais.

Nikooyeh B, Neyestani TR. Can vitamin D be considered an adiponectin secretagogue? A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2021; 212:105925. [PMID: 34089834 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2021.105925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
There is some evidence for ameliorating effect of vitamin D on glycemic and lipidemic status which are likely to be mediated through other molecules including adiponectin. However, the overall results have been controversial. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on serum adiponectin concentration. MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched and 402 studies were found in a preliminary search. After screening of titles and abstracts nine studies were selected. Pooled data showed no significant effect on adiponectin concentrations (mean difference (MD) 0.37, 95 % CI: -0.1 to 0.87). However, there was a significant effect in a subgroup of participants who had diabetes (MD: 0.03, 95 % CI: 0.00 to 0.05, p = 0.029). The treatment effect on adiponectin concentrations was significant in those trials that used supplementation on a daily basis (MD: 0.03, 95 % CI: 0.00 to 0.05, p = 0.028) and vitamin D plus calcium (MD: 0.04, 95 % CI: 0.01 to 0.07, p = 0.014). The meta-regression revealed a significant association between BMI and age of participants at baseline and the treatment effect (B, -0.144, 95 % CI: -0.276 to -0.011, p = 0.033 and B, -0.043, 95 % CI: -0.075 to -0.012, p = 0.006). The results of this meta-analysis study indicates that vitamin D may be considered an adiponectin secretagogue in subjects with diabetes and this effect may be potentiated if vitamin D intake is on daily basis and in combination with calcium but can be weakened by increasing BMI.

Abstract
The sun is of great importance for human health. One important reason for this is the production of vitamin D, endorphins and many other hormones by the skin due to stimulation by sunlight. Insufficient access to sunlight increases the risk for vitamin D deficiency, a pandemic which would affect more than one billion people worldwide and under which ca. 60% of the population in Germany would suffer. The skin has a unique position in vitamin D metabolism as elementary steps for vitamin D production take place here and it is furthermore a target organ for actions of vitamin D. Due to the many positive effects of the sun, a healthy balance must be found between UV protection to shield against skin cancer but also ensuring sufficient vitamin D production. For regulation of this fragile balance between photoprotection and vitamin D production, which has accompanied mankind throughout evolution, sunscreens are an integral part of the modern lifestyle, although critical reports on possible risks for their use have recently become more frequent. This article discusses the current state of knowledge on the importance of vitamin D metabolism in human skin and the use of sun creams.

Effect of daily 2000 IU versus 800 IU vitamin D on blood pressure among adults age 60 years and older: a randomized clinical trial. Am J Clin Nutr 2020; 112:527-537. [PMID: 32542307 DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/nqaa145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies report higher blood pressure (BP) among individuals with lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration. Whether dosage of vitamin D supplementation has a differential effect on BP control remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to determine if daily vitamin D supplementation with 2000 IU is more effective than 800 IU for BP control among older adults. METHODS This randomized, double-blind, ancillary trial of the Zurich Multiple Endpoint Vitamin D Trial in Knee Osteoarthritis enrolled adults aged ≥60 y who underwent elective surgery due to severe knee osteoarthritis. Participants were randomly assigned to receive high dose (2000 IU) or standard dose (800 IU) daily vitamin D3 for 24 mo. Outcomes included daytime and 24-h mean systolic BP. BP variability and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration were examined in a post hoc and observational analysis. RESULTS Of the 273 participants randomly assigned, 250 participants completed a follow-up 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (mean age: 70.4 ± 6.4 y; 47.2% men). The difference in daytime mean systolic BP reduction between the 2000 IU (n = 123) and 800 IU (n = 127) groups was not statistically significant (-2.75 mm Hg vs. -3.94 mm Hg; difference: 1.18 mm Hg; 95% CI: -0.68, 3.05; P = 0.21), consistent with 24-h mean systolic BP. However, systolic BP variability was significantly reduced with 2000 IU (average real variability: -0.37 mm Hg) compared to 800 IU vitamin D3 (0.11 mm Hg; difference: -0.48 mm Hg; 95% CI: -0.94, -0.01; P = 0.045). Independent of group allocation, maximal reductions in mean BP were observed at 28.7 ng/mL of achieved serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. CONCLUSIONS While daily 2000 IU and 800 IU vitamin D3 reduced mean systolic BP over 2 y to a small and similar extent, 2000 IU reduced mean systolic BP variability significantly more compared with 800 IU. However, without a placebo control group we cannot ascertain whether vitamin D supplementation effectively reduces BP.This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00599807.

Sports (Basel) 2019; 7:sports7110239. [PMID: 31752086 PMCID: PMC6915602 DOI: 10.3390/sports7110239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2019] [Revised: 10/26/2019] [Accepted: 11/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Vitamin D plays a key role in bone health, musculoskeletal function, and sport performance. Collegiate athletes competing in indoor sports may be at greater risk of vitamin D deficiency due to limited outdoor time. Therefore, the purpose was to assess 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations among collegiate men and women basketball (MBB, WBB) athletes. National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I men (MBB, n = 11) and women (WBB, n = 9) were tested during the off-season (T1; July) and pre-season (T2; October). Measurements included serum 25(OH)D; skin pigmentation, bone mineral density, and daily sun exposure (self-reported). Paired t-tests determined changes in 25(OH)D by sport-season and sex. Pearson correlations examined relationships between outcome variables. MBB athletes (mean ± SD; 19.6 ± 1.3 years) showed a reduction in 25(OH)D (T1: 64.53 nmol·L−1 ± 11.96) (T2: 56.11 nmol·L−1 ± 7.90) (p = 0.001). WBB (20.1 ± 1.1 years) had no change in 25(OH)D (T1: 99.07 nmol·L−1 ± 49.94. T2: 97.56 nmol·L−1 ± 36.47, p = 0.848). A positive association between 25(OH)D and skin pigmentation was observed (r = 0.47, p = 0.038). 25(OH)D was inversely correlated with lean body mass (LBM), body mass (BM), and bone mineral density (BMD), while a positive association was seen between 25(OH)D and skin pigmentation. In summary, 25(OH)D insufficiency was prevalent amongst male collegiate basketball athletes, with 25(OH)D levels being lower in the pre-season (October) than the off-season (July). Furthermore, darker skin pigmentation significantly correlated with 25(OH)D, indicating that individuals with darker skin tones may be at a greater risk of insufficiency/deficiency. More research is needed to examine the relationships between 25(OH)D and bone health in athletes.

A Critical Appraisal of Strategies to Optimize Vitamin D Status in Germany, a Population with a Western Diet. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11112682.

Abstract
During the last decade, our scientific knowledge of the pleiotropic biological effects of vitamin D metabolites and their relevance to human health has expanded widely. Beyond the well-known key role of vitamin D in calcium homeostasis and bone health, it has been shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with a broad variety of independent diseases, including several types of cancer, and with increased overall mortality. Moreover, recent findings have demonstrated biological effects of the vitamin D endocrine system that are not mediated via activation of the classical nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) by binding with high affinity to its corresponding ligand, the biologically active vitamin D metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D). In contrast, many of these new biological effects of vitamin D compounds, including regulation of the circadian clock and many metabolic functions, are mediated by other vitamin D metabolites, including 20-hydroxyvitamin D and 20,23-dihydroxyvitamin D, and involve their binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and retinoid-orphan receptor (ROR). In most populations, including the German population, UVB-induced cutaneous vitamin D production is the main source for fulfilling the human body’s requirements of vitamin D. However, this causes a dilemma because solar or artificial UVR exposure is associated with skin cancer risk. In addition to UVB-induced vitamin D production in skin, in humans, there are two other possible sources of vitamin D: from diet and supplements. However, only a few natural foods contain substantial amounts of vitamin D, and in most populations, the dietary source of vitamin D cannot fulfill the body´s requirements. Because an increasing body of evidence has convincingly demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency is very common worldwide, it is the aim of this paper to (i) give an update of the vitamin D status in a population with a western diet, namely, the German population, and to (ii) develop strategies to optimize the vitamin D supply that consider both the advantages as well as the disadvantages/risks of different approaches, including increasing vitamin D status by dietary intake, by supplements, or by UVB-induced cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D.
