Acute Erythemal Ultraviolet Radiation Causes Systemic Immunosuppression in the AbsenceVitamin D is synthesised by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of skin and is hypothesized to be a direct mediator.

Vitamin D status and ill healthThis paper is a comment in response to a review of Vitamin D status and its association with ill health.
Research
Solar ultraviolet radiation in a changing climateThis review article examines risks and benefits of exposure to ultraviolet radiation for the environment and human welfare.
Research
Ultraviolet radiation suppresses obesity and symptoms of metabolic syndrome independently of vitamin DUVR or sunlight exposure may be an effective means of suppressing the development of obesity and MetS, through mechanisms that are independent of vitamin D
Research
The relationship between ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and objectively measured personal UVR exposure dose is modified by season and latitudeSeason and latitude modify the relationship between ambient ultraviolet radiation and personal ultraviolet radiation exposure
Research
Molecular actions of Vitamin D in reproductive cell biologyThe aim of this work is to review current metabolic and molecular aspects of the VitD-VitD receptor axis in reproductive medicine
Research
Sun-immune connectionExposure to ultraviolet radiation damages skin cell DNA but skin cancers develop because ultraviolet radiation also affects the immune system
Research
Ultraviolet irradiation of skin alters the faecal microbiome independently of vitamin D in miceSkin exposure to ultraviolet radiation alters the faecal microbiome, and further investigations to explore the implications of this in health and disease are warranted
Research
Vitamin D C3-epimer levels are proportionally higher with oral vitamin D supplementation compared to ultraviolet irradiation of skin in mice but not humansThe proportion of 25(OH)D3 that undergoes epimerization is greater with oral vitamin D3 supplementation than exposure to UVR in mice, but not in humans
