Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Adipose Tissue Vitamin D Receptor Gene Expression: Relationship With Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

25(OH)D levels are diminished in P&D compared to NG subjects, independently of BMI, and are closely related to glucose metabolism variables, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency is associated more with carbohydrate metabolism than with obesity. Moreover, AT has a different response to 1,25(OH)2D3 depending on the degree of obesity.
