Association between low 25-hydroxyvitamin D, insulin resistance and arterial stiffness in nondiabetic women with systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract: Low 25(OH)D levels were found to be associated with increased IR in nondiabetic women with SLE independently of BMI. Low 25(OH)D levels, but not IR, could be associated with increased arterial stiffness in these patients.

“…In our previous analysis we found an independent inverse association between 25-OH-D 3 and increased arterial stiffness in the general population [14], and this finding was confirmed by several other studies in various settings of subjects [30][31][32][33]. The potential physiological role of vitamin D in regulating vascular calcification is multifactorial, but the pivotal role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of connective-tissue enzymes, is generally accepted.…”

“…Evidence exists of a more severe IR in SLE patients when compared with age-and sex-matched healthy controls, as identified by higher fasting insulin levels and the Homeostasis Model Assessment Index (HOMA IR) (2,4,(7)(8)(9), a surrogate marker of IR (10). Notably, this is observed despite normal levels of fasting glucose (7,8), which suggests that SLE patients may be able to maintain normal glycemia due to a higher secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells, which could predispose to beta cell dysfunction and type 2 DM in the long term (11).…”

“…Ultimately, 19 studies were included in our meta‐analysis (Figure ). Sixteen studies compared circulating 25(OH)D levels between SLE patients and healthy controls (Table ); seven Studies provided the information about the deficiency, insufficiency, sufficiency of vitamin D in both SLE patients and healthy controls (Table ); 6 studies explored the correlations between disease activity of SLE and 25(OH)D levels (Table ). The NOS scores of included studies ranged from 6 to 8 stars, indicating each of the studies had high methodological quality (Table ).…”
