| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Vitamin D is an essential nutrient requirement for adults and children for normal metabolism and maintenance of healthy bones. Its deficiency may disrupt homeostasis and contribute to systemic diseases, especially in obese patients. This study aimed to examine the effect of vitamin D on insulin, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) in young and obese Saudi females with pre-existing hypovitaminosis D. METHODS: The results of this study were based on prospective parallel randomised controlled clinical trial conducted at King Fahd University Hospital in which 30 obese Saudi young females aging 18-23 years with preexisting vitamin D deficiency contributed. Participants were randomly assigned to either vitamin D supplementation group (experimental) or placebo group (control). Subjects of vitamin D group received 50,000 IU/week of cholecalciferol drops and placebo group received 10 mL of normal saline drops for 12 weeks. RESULTS: The results of multivariate repeated measures analysis showed a change in serum 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol levels after vitamin D supplementation (F=296.132, p |
