Although genetic and epidemiological evidence indicates vitamin D insufficiency contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS), and serum levels of vitamin D increase on treatment with cholecalciferol, recent metanalyses indicate that this vitamin D form does not ameliorate disease. Genetic variation in genes regulating vitamin D, and regulated by vitamin D, affect MS risk.
Teachers are responsible for children at school during peak ultraviolet (UV) times of the day. It is paramount that teachers have knowledge and understanding of UV to effectively protect themselves and their students. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of a short intervention on preservice teachers’ sun protective behaviours, knowledge and perceived skill to teach sun safety.
The aim of this work is to review current metabolic and molecular aspects of the VitD-VitD receptor axis in reproductive medicine
The prevalence of vitamin D-containing supplement use was generally low in the Australian population, particularly for single vitamin D supplements
Associations between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood in the Raine Study
The strongest determinants of self-reported sun-protection behavior changes due to concerns about vitamin D were attitudes and location
UVB-induced p53-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis are reduced in the presence of heat stress, leading to increased survival of DNA damaged cells
The approach of predicted 25 (OH)D concentration derived from multivariable linear regression may be valid..
This publication demonstrated considerable differences in the measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations compared with a certified laboratory, even...
Prenatal exposure to vitamin D is thought to be critical for optimal fetal neurodevelopment, yet vitamin D deficiency is apparent in a growing proportion of...
