Popis: Background The achievement of target 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations in pregnancy may be altered by maternal obesity. Objective The authors examined the effects of maternal supplementation of 10 μg compared with 20 μg vitamin D3/d on maternal and umbilical cord 25(OH)D. The secondary aim was to investigate the influence of maternal BMI (in kg/m2) on the response of the primary outcomes. Methods The authors performed a 2-arm parallel double-blind randomized trial with 240 pregnant women recruited throughout the year in Northern Ireland. Women were stratified by BMI to receive 10 or 20 µg vitamin D3/d from 12 gestational wk (GW) until delivery. Maternal blood samples collected at 12, 28, and 36 GW and from the umbilical cord were analyzed for total serum 25(OH)D. A total of 166 women completed the study. Results Mean ± SD 25(OH)D at 36 GW was 80.8 ± 28.2 compared with 94.4 ± 33.2 nmol/L (P < 0.001) (10 compared with 20 µg vitamin D3/d, respectively). In those classified with 25(OH)D
