Profiles of 25 hydroxyvitamin D and its metabolites 24, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D in vitamin D3 supplementation studies

Background: Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Circulating 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is metabolised into its biologically active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-d(OH)D] by the actions of 1α hydroxylase, and into inactive 2metabolite 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [24,25-d(OH)D] by 24-hydroxylase. Recent studies suggest the production of 1,25-d(OH)D) from 25(OH)D is 24,25-d(OH)D dependent. Genetic mutations of CYP24A1 gene resulting in...

Background: The relation between sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and vertebral fracture (VFx) is unclear.Aim: To examine whether SHBG is associated with bone mineral density at lumbar spine (LS-BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS) and prevalent VFx.Methods: Data of 6224 men and women participants in the third visit of the first cohort (I-3) and the first visit of the second cohort (II-1) of a prospective population based cohort, w...

The association between diabetes, trabecular bone score, bone mineral density and vertebral fractures

Koromani Fjorda , Muka Taulant , Oei Ling , Zillikens Carola , Hofman Albert , Franco Oscar H , Uitterlinden Andre G , Oei Edwin , Hans Didier , Rivadeneira Fernando

Background: Fracture risk is increased in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) individuals. Bone mineral density (BMD) is inversely associated with fracture risk but paradoxically high in T2D individuals. Trabecular bone score (TBS) reflects bone microarchitecture and predicts fracture risk.Objective: We aimed to compare mean lumbar spine TBS (LS-TBS) and lumbar spine BMD (LS-BMD) values, across individuals with and without i) vertebral fracture (VFx), ii) T2D; and iii...

Phenotypic dissection of bone mineral density facilitates the identification of skeletal site specificity on the genetic regulation of bone

Heritability of bone mineral density (BMD) varies at skeletal sites, possibly reflecting different relative contributions of environmental and genetic influences. To quantify shared genetic influences across different sites, we estimated the genetic correlation of BMD at the upper limb (UL), lower limb (LL) and skull (S) obtained from whole body DXA scans, using bivariate genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA). The study (n=9395) combined data from the Avon Longitu...

The childhood is an important period for bone mass acquisition, and this tissue may be influenced by the nutritional status. However, the relation between the nutritional status and the bone parameters of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to verify the influence of nutritional status on bone mass assessed by QUS in male children from 7 to 10 years old. The sample consisted of 461 Brazilians pre-pubertal schoolchildren (8.30±1.13 year...

Vitamin D: light side and best time of sunshine in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Alshahrani Fahad , Almalki Mussa , Aljohani Naji , Alzahrani Abdullah , Alsaleh Yossef , Holick Michel

Low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D have been documented among inhabitants of the wider Middle East and North African countries. Sunlight has long been recognized as a major provider of vitamin D. In this study we aimed to determine the optimum time for sun exposure in the Central region of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ampoules containing 7-dehydrocholesterol in ethanol were exposed to sunlight every hour starting from sunrise until sunset in July and December. Our results demonstrated...
