Lack of vitamin DInsufficient vitamin DPurpose To compare corneal biomechanical properties measured with ocular response analyzer (ORA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in patients with vitamin D deficiency and in healthy cases. Methods One hundred and twenty eyes of 120 subjects (between ...
There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of IOPcc, IOPg CH and CRF. However, mean CH values were found less in the lack of vitamin D group. In our study, we found that the CH values were lower and the IOPg values were higher in cases of vitamin D deficiency....
Vitamins are organic compounds that are important for the maintenance of normal growth and metabolism of the human body. The deficiency of vitamins can result in various diseases and disorders in the body. These diseases or disorders are called deficiency disorders or avitaminosis....
We investigated the effect that single-large-dose maternal/neonatal vitamin A supplementation has on MTCT, HIV-free survival, and mortality in HIV-exposed infants. Methods. A total of 14,110 mother-infant pairs were enrolled ⩽96 h after delivery, and both mother and infant, mother only, ...
Vitamin D deficiency was associated in the total population with a lower percentage of actively proliferating cells and with a lack of differentiation markers. Study of the isolated cell populations demonstrated, however, that small cells were actively proliferating, whereas they were mainly in the ...
The effects of vitamin D likely depend on a person’s circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D; a form of vitamin D that is measured in blood samples to determine vitamin D status), and many of the benefits of supplementation will only be seen when a deficiency is reversed. ...
Vitamin D is reported to have anti-inflammatory properties; however the effects of vitamin D supplementation on inflammation in patients with heart failure (HF) have not been established.

The effects of vitamins E and E, beta-carotene and selenium on development of N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP)-induced pancreatic tumours in hamsters were investigated. Dietary supplementation of vitamin C, alone as well as in combination with beta-carotene resulted in consistently lower numbe...
To address this hypothesis, human macrophage-like monocytic (THP-1) cells were treated with varying doses of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in the presence of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). The expression of hCAP18 was determined by quantitative...
