The most accurate way to measure vitamin D levels is the 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test. A vitamin D level less than 20 nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL) is generally accepted as deficient. However, some groups define vitamin D deficiency as less than 30 ng/mL Even though there’s been incre...
After vitamin D (also called cholecalciferol) is synthesized in the skin, it is metabolized to 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D, also called calcidiol) in the liver and then to the biologically active form, 1,25(OH)2D (1,25-dihydroxyvitaminD, also called calcitriol)in the kidney. According ...
also known as 25-hydroxy D, with your blood work during your next checkup. Some labs test for 1,25 hydroxy D, which isn’t as accurate a marker of your vitamin D status as 25 hydroxy D, so be sure to specifically ask for 25 hydroxy D. ...

patients with vitamin D deficiency, were described. Additionally, the definitions of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency were heterogenous.

Concerning its deficiency, a theory has been proposed related to a lack of UV-B absorption causing a fall in serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH) D), and increment of fat mass and metabolic syndrome called “winter response”7. In the Middle East, even in the presence of abundant ...
According to this project, each patient had to undergo, on the same day of the MRI, a blood test for the measurement of different parameters of bone turnover, including vitamin D and PTH, and a dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for the assessment of bone mineral density. The two-...
Vitamin D3 or calcitriol (VitD3) has been shown to have anticancer and anti-inflammatory activity in in vitro models and clinical studies. However, its effect on HPV-16-related cancer has been sparsely explored. In this study, we aimed to determine whether monotherapy or combination therapy wi...
Researchers from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) at Trinity College have shown in the largest study to-date that vitamin D is not associated with low blood pressure on standing (orthostatic hypotension) in older adults. Their findings have
