Calcium and vitamin D in obesity

Abstract: New and more effective nutritional measures are urgently needed for the prevention of obesity. The role of Ca and vitamin D in obesity has been recently implicated. Low Ca intake and low vitamin D status have been linked with an increased risk of obesity in epidemiological studies; however, clinical intervention trials designed to test this association have produced controversial results. The suggested anti-obesity mechanisms of Ca and vitamin D include the regulation of adipocyte death (apoptosis), adipogenes… Show more

“…Vitamin D status has been linked to several cancers and obesity in numerous observational and a limited number of mechanistic studies [6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency has been associated with the increased risk of colorectal, breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, skin, and other types of cancer as well as obesity; however, causality in these associations remains unproven [4,6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…It was also found that vitamin D3 was effective in weight loss by increasing fat oxidation after meals (10). Likewise, Song et al obtained similar findings of Soares et al However, they reported a different mechanism for weight reduction impact of vitamin D. They concluded a role for vitamin D to regulate of fat cell death and lipid metabolism (11). Similarly, Salehpour et al investigated the association between vitamin D deficiency and obesity.…”
