The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D is high among obese subjects. Further, low 25âhydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration has been postulated to be a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, although its relation with insulinâsensitivity is not well investigated. Thus, we aimed to investigate the relationship between 25(OH)D concentration and insulinâsensitivity, using the glucose clamp technique. In total, 39 subjects with no known history of diabetes mellitus were recruited. The association of 25(OH)D concentration with insulinâsensitivity was evaluated by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. Subjects with low 25(OH)D (<50 nmol/l) had higher BMI (P = 0.048), parathyroid hormone (PTH) (P = 0.040), total cholesterol (P = 0.012), lowâdensity lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (P = 0.044), triglycerides (P = 0.048), and lower insulinâsensitivity as evaluated by clamp study (P = 0.047). There was significant correlation between 25(OH)D and BMI (r = â0.58; P = 0.01), PTH (r = â0.44; P < 0.01), insulinâsensitivity (r = 0.43; P < 0.01), total (r = â0.34; P = 0.030) and LDL (r = â0.40; P = 0.023) (but not highâdensity lipoprotein (HDL)) cholesterol, and triglycerides (r = 0.45; P = 0.01). Multivariate analysis using 25(OH)D concentration, BMI, insulinâsensitivity, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, as the cofactors was performed. BMI was found to be the most powerful predictor of 25(OH)D concentration (r = â0.52; P < 0.01), whereas insulinâsensitivity was not significant. Our study suggested that there is no causeâeffect relationship between vitamin D and insulinâsensitivity. In obesity, both low 25(OH)D concentration and insulinâresistance appear to be dependent on the increased body size.
