PMID: 32871238 PMCID: PMC7456194 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2020.105751 Abstract Objective: The vitamin D endocrine system may have a variety of actions on cells and tissues involved in COVID-19 progression especially by decreasing the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Calcifediol can rapidly increase serum [...]

Authors: Henriquez MS, de Tejada Romero MJ PMID: 32486496 PMCID: PMC7352679 doi: 10.3390/nu12061617 Abstract Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem due to its high prevalence and its negative consequences on musculoskeletal and extra-skeletal health. In our comparative review of the two exogenous vitamin D supplementation options most used in our care setting, we [...]

The aim of the present study is to summarize existing literature on vitamin D levels in adults in different continents and different countries worldwide. The best determinant of vitamin D status is the serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D).
