Abstract Over the past decade, numerous non-skeletal diseases have been reportedto be associated with vitamin D deficiency. Different studies provide evidence that vitamin D may play afunctional role in glucose tolerance through its effects on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Vitamin D may play an important role in modifying the risk of cardiometabolic outcomes, including diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it has been proposed that vitamin D deficiency plays an important role in insulin resistance resulting in diabetes and other associated diseases. Vitamin D reduces insulin resistance probably through its effect on calcium and phosphorus metabolism and through the regulation of the insulin receptor gene. The association of vitamin D status and cardiometaholic disorders (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome) are discussedin this review article. The foeus of this cross-sectional review study is to unfold some fundamental concepts which may be useful forfuture research Top Keywords Insulin resistance, Vitamin D. Top |
