Abstract
Background There is a lack of data regarding the effect of vitamin D supplements in patients with I131-induced hypothyroidism. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplements on muscle function, and the secondary aim was to observe the effect on body composition, insulin resistance, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with I131-induced hypothyroidism. Methods In this pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial, patients with I131-induced hypothyroidism on a stable dose of levothyroxine were enrolled and allocated into 2 groups to receive oral vitamin D 20 000 IU weekly or placebo for 24 weeks. Baseline biochemical values, body composition, handgrip strength, the 5 times sit-to-stand test (5TSTS), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and QOL were measured before intervention and after 3 and 6 months in both groups. Mixed model regression analysis was used to compare the outcomes between the 2 groups. Significance was set at P value of < .05. Results There were 20 participants in each group. The time taken for 5TSTS in the vitamin D group was significantly lower than the placebo group at 3 (P = .032) and 6 months (P = .006). Other outcomes, including handgrip strength, body composition, HOMA-IR, and QOL, showed no significant difference between the 2 groups. Conclusion A supplement of vitamin D2 at 20 000 IU per week for 24 weeks could help improve performance in 5TSTS in patients with I131-induced hypothyroidism.

Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and vitamin D dietary supplementation and risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among adults with hypertension. Nutr J 2024; 23:33. [PMID: 38459491 PMCID: PMC10924411 DOI: 10.1186/s12937-024-00914-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between vitamin D status and mortality among adults with hypertension remains unclear. METHODS This prospective cohort study involved a sample of 19,500 adults with hypertension who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 to 2018. We utilized a weighted COX proportional hazard model to assess the association between vitamin D status and mortality. This statistical model calculates hazard ratios (HR) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS The study indicated that lower serum 25(OH)D concentration was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with hypertension. Specially. Those with concentrations between 25.0 and 49.9 nmol/L (HR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.22-2.40) and less than 25.0 nmol/L (HR = 1.97, 95%CI = 1.15-3.39) had higher hazard ratios for all-cause mortality. Individuals with hypertension who took vitamin D supplements had a lower risk of all-cause mortality, but not the risk of CVD mortality (HR 0.75, 95%CI 0.54-1.03), compared to those who did not supplement (HR = 0.76, 95%CI = 0.61-0.94). Subgroup analysis further revealed that vitamin D supplementation was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality among individuals without diabetes (HR = 0.65, 95%CI = 0.52-0.81) and individuals without CVD (HR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.58-0.97), and a decreased risk of CVD mortality among individuals without diabetes (HR = 0.63, 95%CI = 0.45-0.88) and without CVD (HR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.40-0.92). Furthermore, higher-dose vitamin D supplementation was also associated with a greater reduction in all-cause mortality among hypertensive individuals, and there was the potential synergistic effect of combining normal-dose calcium and vitamin D supplementation, showing a superior effect on mortality compared to low-dose supplementation in adults with hypertension. CONCLUSIONS This prospective cohort study demonstrated a significant association between lower serum 25 (OH)D concentration and increased all-cause mortality among adults with hypertension. Furthermore, the study found that vitamin D supplementation had a strong and significantly positive correlation with reduced all-cause and CVD mortality among hypertensive individuals without diabetes or CVD. This positive correlation suggests that vitamin D supplementation could potentially be an effective strategy to reduce the risk of mortality in this specific group of people.

Effects of vitamin D on sex steroids, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone to luteinizing hormone ratio in 307 infertile men. Andrology 2024; 12:553-560. [PMID: 37555466 DOI: 10.1111/andr.13505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vitamin D status has been associated with sex steroid production. The question is whether vitamin D supplementation has an impact on sex steroid production in infertile men with vitamin D insufficiency? DESIGN A single-center, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial. Differences in sex steroids and reproductive hormones were predefined secondary outcomes, vitamin D status at baseline was a predefined subgroup and the primary outcome was differences in semen quality. METHODS A total of 307 infertile men were included and randomized 1:1 to active or placebo treatment for 150 days. Men in the active group initially received an oral bolus of 300,000 IU cholecalciferol, followed by daily supplementation with 1400 IU cholecalciferol and 500 mg calcium. RESULTS After intervention, no differences were found in serum concentrations of sex steroids, luteinizing hormone, testosterone/luteinizing hormone ratio or SHBG between the vitamin D and placebo group. However, in a predefined subgroup analysis of men with serum 25OHD ≤ 50 nmol/L, men treated with vitamin D had a significantly higher testosterone/luteinizing hormone ratio [4.2 (3.8-4.4) vs. 3.7 (3.4-4.0); p = 0.033] compared with placebo treatment. In men with vitamin D deficiency, the difference between groups was larger but not significant due to few men with serum 25OHD < 25 nmol/L. CONCLUSION Vitamin D + calcium supplementation did not alter sex steroid production in infertile men. However, vitamin D insufficient men treated with vitamin D supplementation had a significantly higher testosterone/LH ratio compared with placebo-treated men, suggesting that optimal Leydig cell function are dependent on adequate vitamin D status.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with low vitamin D status, and the optimal supplement and dosage of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) or calcidiol (25OHD) for individuals with obesity have been debated. We aimed to determine the effect of high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation on achieving adequate vitamin D levels among infertile men with normal weight v. obesity. Here, we present secondary end points from a single-centre, double-blinded, randomised clinical trial, comprising 307 infertile men randomised to active or placebo treatment for 150 days. Men in the active group initially received an oral bolus of 300 000 mg of vitamin D3, followed by daily supplementation with 1400 mg of vitamin D3 and 500 mg of calcium. Baseline BMI was listed as a predefined subgroup. At baseline, serum 25OHD was significantly higher in men with normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2) compared with men with overweight (BMI 25-30 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) (48 nmol/l v. 45 nmol/l and 39 nmol/l, respectively; P = 0·024). After the intervention, men with normal weight, overweight and obesity treated with vitamin D3 had a significantly higher serum 25OHD compared with corresponding placebo-treated men (BMI < 25 kg/m2: 92 nmol/l v. 53 nmol/l, BMI = 25-30 kg/m2: 87 nmol/l v. 49 nmol/l and BMI > 30 kg/m2: 85 nmol/l v. 48 nmol/l; P < 0·001 for all, respectively). In conclusion, we show that high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation to infertile men with obesity and low vitamin D status is sufficient to achieve adequate serum 25OHD levels.

High-dose vitamin D 3 supplementation shows no beneficial effects on white blood cell counts, acute phase reactants, or frequency of respiratory infections. Respir Res 2024; 25:11. [PMID: 38178229 PMCID: PMC10765571 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-023-02642-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D has been suggested to influence the immune system, and vitamin D metabolites and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are generated and expressed in white blood cells (WBC). Moreover, vitamin D status has been associated with incidence and prognosis of some respiratory tract infections (RTI). Therefore, we investigated the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on WBC, acute phase reactants (APR), and the risk of developing RTIs. METHODS A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 307 infertile men with multiple secondary immunological endpoints. The vitamin D3 group (n = 151) initially received 300,000 IU (7,500 µg) cholecalciferol once - followed by 1,400 IU (35 µg) daily for 150 days. The placebo group (n = 156) did not receive active ingredients. RESULTS At baseline, stratification into clinically relevant groups of vitamin D status (< 25; 25-50; 50-75; >75 nmol/L), showed an inverse association with total leucocyte concentrations (7.0 vs. 6.0 vs. 6.0 vs. 5.5 (109/L); p = 0.007), lymphocytes (2.4 vs. 2.1 vs. 2.0 vs. 2.0 (109/L); p = 0.048), CRP (2.0 vs. 1.7 vs. 1.2 vs. 1.2 (mg/L); p = 0.037), and orosomucoid (0.82 vs. 0.77 vs. 0.76 vs. 0.70 (g/L); p = 0.015). After 150 days, no differences were detected in WBC counts or APRs between the vitamin D3 and the placebo group. However, vitamin D3 treated men had a higher prevalence of self-reported RTIs compared with the placebo group (55% vs. 39%; p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS High-dose vitamin D3 supplementation did not alter WBCs or APRs, but a higher prevalence of respiratory infections was observed in the vitamin D3 group. Serum 25(OH)D3 was negatively correlated with most WBCs, indicating that vitamin D status may be linked with inflammation and WBC turnover, but not an important determinant of developing RTIs.

Higher Dietary Vitamin D Intake Influences the Lipid Profile and hs-CRP Concentrations: Cross-Sectional Assessment Based on The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13020581. [PMID: 36836938 PMCID: PMC9965151 DOI: 10.3390/life13020581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background. An unanswered question in the field of nutrition is whether there is an association between vitamin D intake and the lipid profile in adults. We conducted this cross-sectional study in order to investigate the impact of vitamin D intake on the lipid profile of adults in the context of the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods. Serum lipids and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations and the Vitamin D intake in 2588 people aged 19 to 70 years was collected using laboratory analysis and 24-h recall, respectively. The one-way ANOVA test was used to compare quantitative variables and the chi-squared test was used to compare qualitative ones. Multivariate logistic regression for three models was performed to assess the odds ratio (OR) of high total cholesterol (TC) (>200 mg/dL), triglycerides (TG) (>150 mg/dL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (>115 mg/dL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (<40 mg/dL) and hs-CRP (>1 mg/l) based on the tertiles of dietary vitamin D (D2 + D3) intake. Results. After adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, alcohol intake, energy intake, protein intake, carbohydrate intake, fiber intake and fat intake, individuals in the tertile with the highest versus lowest vitamin D intake (>1 mcg/day vs. <0.10 mcg/day) had lower odds of displaying elevated TC, LDL-C and hs-CRP concentrations (OR 0.57; CI: 0.37 to 0.88; P-trend: 0.045, OR 0.59; CI: 0.34 to 1.01; P-trend: 0.025 and OR 0.67; CI: 0.45 to 0.99; P-trend: 0.048, respectively). Based on the results of the logistic regression, no correlation between vitamin D intake and changes in TG or HDL-C values was noted. Conclusions. Our cross-sectional study indicates that higher dietary vitamin D (D2 + D3) intake is associated with lower TC, LDL-C and hs-CRP levels. No relationship between dietary vitamin D intake and TG or HDL-C values was detected. Further large-scale randomized trials are needed to evaluate the actual association between dietary vitamin D intake and the lipid profile.

Abstract
Little is known about the impact of high-normal range of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] on reproductive function. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different dose vitamin D supplementation in female mice on the pregnancy outcomes. Three groups of female mice were fed with fodder containing different dose of vitamin D at both pre-gestational and gestational stages. Serum 25(OH)D and calcium concentrations were monitored. The expression levels of vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA and protein in placenta were determined by real-time RT-PCR and western blot. Pregnancy outcomes were evaluated and compared among the three groups. Compared with the medium and low dose groups, serum 25(OH)D concentration was significantly increased and approximated to high-normal range in the high dose group (pre-gestational: 81.3±5.75 vs 52.8±6.24 and 25.0±3.99 ng/mL; gestational: 86.8±5.99 vs 52.6±9.29 and 27.9±4.96 ng/mL, respectively; all p<0.001). Interestingly, the average number of live fetuses per litter was much larger in the high dose group than in other two groups (19.8±5.31 vs 13.8±1.30 and 12.8±3.55 respectively, both p<0.05). However, no significant differences of the expression levels of VDR mRNA and protein in placenta were identified among the three groups. Supplementation of high dose vitamin D can enhance the female mice reproductive function. Further study is warranted to explore the mechanism by which high level of 25(OH)D in female mice increases the number of fetuses.
