Study of vitamin D levels and its correlation with insulin resistance

Abstract: Background: Hypovitaminosis D has been reported as a risk factor for glucose intolerance. Although traditionally named as sunshine vitamin, in India, it is paradoxically deficient. Obesity is frequently associated with insulin resistance (IR) and prediabetes and other components of metabolic syndrome. Obesity is also commonly associated with hypovitaminosis D due to the capacity of adipose tissue to store 25-dihydroxy vitamin D making it biologically unavailable. Aims and Objectives: This study is designed to … Show more
