Vitamin D and Its Relationship with Obesity and Muscle

Abstract: The skin synthesis of vitamin D represents the first step of a metabolic pathway whose features have been extensively studied and clarified in the last decades. In particular, the production of active and inactive forms of the hormone and the actions of the corresponding enzymes have offered new insights into the knowledge of vitamin D metabolism. Additionally, the description of the different organs and tissues expressing the vitamin D receptor and its possible functions, as well as its genetic determinants, … Show more

“…Changes in muscle morphology include derangement of the intermyofibrillar network, increases in intramuscular lipids, and atrophy of the fast‐twitch white (type 2) fibres,11, 44, 48, 49 which are the first to be recruited when preventing a fall. All these changes seem to be reversible,50 supporting co‐ordinated effects of vitamin D in musculoskeletal physiology 51, 52, 53, 54…”

“…It is possible that there may be a different set point for the calcium PTH relationship in the obese, as demonstrated in a calcium-citrate clamp that showed an exaggerated PTH response to hypocalcemia as compared to normal subjects (Hultin et al, 2010;Cipriani et al, 2014). Moreover, while many subjects with hypovitaminosis D could have PTH within the "normal" reference range, they may have "functional hyperparathyroidism" (Souberbielle et al, 2003).…”

“…Growing evidence suggest larger doses of vitamin D (equivalent to 2000 IU to 10000 IU daily) are required to optimise vitamin D status (Vieth et al, 2007). Furthermore, the question what dose of vitamin D should be used in obese patients to replete vitamin D stores and how to maintain normal 25-OH D levels after repletion remains unresolved (Cipriani et al, 2014).…”

“…Interestingly, these fracture sites [7] differ from the fracture sites most commonly seen in osteoporosis, which are the wrist, upper arm, rib, hip and spine [7]. A number of possible contributors to compromised skeletal health in obesity have been proposed, including but not limited to reduced vitamin D bioavailability [9,14] and an inflammatory state that increases bone breakdown [15]. Moreover, individuals with obesity have a heightened risk of mobility impairment [16] and falls [17,18], due to factors such as poor compensatory stepping responses and postural instability [17] as well as intramuscular fat infiltration which reduces muscle strength [9,19,20].…”
