Abstract:

Cross sectional and observational data suggest that HIV-positive individuals and those receiving antiretroviral (ARV) therapy are prone to higher rates of osteoporosis and osteopaenia than HIV-negative individuals. Likewise, HIV-positive individuals often have low vitamin D status. Evidence is emerging more generally of a strong association between HIV infection and poor bone health. There is also evidence that treatment with ARV therapy (ART) and suboptimal vitamin D status may exacerbate this problem (Brown et al, 2006a, 2010). But, to date, causal relationships have not been fully establish

Vitamin A and its chemical analogues (retinoids) are known to play a role in the maintenance and differentiation of epithelial tissue. Retinoids have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in a number of tissues in experimental animals and to inhibit the growth of various untransformed and cancer cell lines in vitro. This study investigated the effect of retinyl acetate supplemented at concentrations of 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM and 100 μM to in vitro cultured untransformed LLCMK cells, and transformed BL-6 melanoma and human hepatoma cell lines.

Abstract:

60 % of Canadians have suboptimal vitamin D (<75 nmol/L) and 25% are obese. Obesity has been reported to be a risk factor for low vitamin D, but there is uncertainty about the magnitude of the association. Linear regression was performed using data from the nationally representative cross-sectional Canadian Health Measures Survey (2007-2009). Height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and vitamin D levels were directly measured. There were 5298 participants aged 6 to 79 years. Using a conservative p value of 0.001, body mass index (BMI) category obese / obese I was positively associated and

The in utero environment to which a fetus is exposed might influence body composition and muscle strength in later life. Modulation of this environment could therefore represent an approach to addressing the increasing burden of obesity and sarcopenia. One potential modifiable exposure is vitamin D.

Seasonal variations in blood pressure, immune markers and some diseases including influenza, have also been reported.

Abstract:

The human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, involved in calcium and phosphate homeostasis; hence implicated in a number of diseases, such as Rickets and Osteoporosis. This receptor binds 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (also referred to as 1,25(OH)2D3) and other known ligands, such as lithocholic acid. Specific interactions between the receptor and ligand are crucial for the function and activation of this receptor, as implied by the single point mutation, H305Q, causing symptoms of Type II Rickets.

Abstract:

Adequate vitamin D status plays an important role in bone health and may also protect against Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), multiple sclerosis and certain cancers. Vitamin D is obtained from two sources; diet and through skin synthesis through the action of ultraviolet (UV) light. Dietary intakes of vitamin D are low in New Zealand (NZ) and the majority of our vitamin D comes from UV exposure. The NZ population may be at risk of low vitamin D status because of low dietary intakes, the country�s latitude (35-46 �S), and high proportion of darker skinned Maori and Pacific People.

Abstract:

Pastarąjį dešimtmetį nustatyta, kad vitaminas D dalyvauja ne tik skeleto sistemos metaboliniuose procesuose, bet jo trūkumas siejamas ir su įvairiomis kitomis patologinėmis būsenomis, nes daugumoje organizmo ląstelių yra išsidėstę vitamino D receptoriai. Įvertinę šią vitamino D svarbą, epideminio pobūdžio jo trūkumą įvairiose šalyse bei tai, kad iki šiol panašaus pobūdžio mokslinių tyrimų mūsų šalyje neatlikta, nuspendėme įvertinti jaunų vyrų – Lietuvos kariuomenės šauktinių – vitamino D koncentracijos, kūno sandaros, endokrininės, psichologinės būklės ir gyvenimo kokybės rodiklių tarpusavio s

Abstract:

O tecido ósseo é extremamente complexo que, juntamente com a cartilagem, constitui o sistema esquelético. Tanto os ossos quanto a cartilagem são compostos por tecido metabolicamente ativo com duas funções básicas para o organismo, uma mecânica e outra bioquímica. O impacto do déficit calórico e da perda de peso pode reduzir a massa óssea e mudar a composição corpórea. Na pancreatite crônica alcoólica o paciente relata ingestão alcoólica por longo período, além da referência do alto consumo de cigarros e de uma alimentação deficiente. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram avaliar a frequência d

Abstract:

Background: The traditional Omani diet of dates, milk, rice, brown bread, fish and vegetables has undergone considerable change, now resembling a Western diet that is high in calories, high glycaemic index carbohydrates, total fat and saturated, trans and omega 6 fatty acids, and low in omega-3 fatty acids and essential micronutrients. The available data on daily food intake and its impact on micro- and macro-nutrients are scanty in the Arab world. Obtaining these data is especially important in light of the growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) - cardiovascular diseases, diab

Abstract:

Питання забезпеченості сучасних дітей вітамінами та мінералами стає все актуальнішим протягом останніх років і не полишає інтерес лікарів та науковців. Загально відомо, що мікронутрієнти мають суттєвий вплив на ріст і розвиток дитячого організму, а їх кількісні варіації вносять корективи у функціонування органів та систем. Так, вітамінно-мінеральна недостатність (ВМН) порушує обмін речовин, що призводить до негативних наслідків і позначається на загальному стані організму, процесах росту та розвитку, імунній системі тощо. Зазвичай це має відповідні клінічні прояви, обтяжує перебіг соматичних
