Vitamin D Deficiency and Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Vitamin D (VD) is a molecule that can be synthesized directly in the humans' body or enter the organism with food in the form of inactive precursors. To exert its biological action, VD undergoes two-stage hydroxylation (at the 25th and 1st position) catalyzed by cytochromes P450, the presence of which has already been shown in almost all tissues of the human body. The product of hydroxylation is hormone-active form of vitamin D-1,25(OH) 2 D. 1,25(OH) 2 D binds to specific vitamin D receptor (VDR) and regulates… Show more

“…Vitamin D is also involved in immune system development and function. A vitamin D receptor is located on most immunological cells [ 22 ], and the active form of vitamin D regulates circulating glucose levels by binding to the vitamin D receptor of pancreatic β-cells and modulating insulin secretion [ 23 24 ]. The effects of VDD could increase insulin resistance and subsequently affect blood glucose metabolism, further contributing to increased GDM risk.…”
