“…This interest has arisen due to the identification that most cells, including the pancreatic beta-cells, contain the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Most of these cells also have the capability to produce the biologically active form of vitamin D: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D for paracrine functions (1,2,3). Furthermore, vitamin D is known to have immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, which could improve peripheral insulin resistance by altering low-grade chronic inflammation that has been implicated in insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (3,4,5).…”

“…Some studies on animals have suggested that vitamin D is involved in the synthesis and secretion of insulin, which might indicate that lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD3) could have an impact on type 2 diabetes (T2DM). 1,2 Twelve million Brazilians presented T2DM in 2011, according to official Brazilian government data, and the prevalence of low serum 25OHD3 has increased all over the world in the last few years. Recently, low serum 25OHD3 has been considered to be a worldwide public health issue due to its impact on many diseases.…”

“…A British study reported that obese individuals with insufficient vitamin D had a 32-times higher risk for insulin resistance compared to those who are nonobese. To clarify this link a study reported that VD improves both β-cell function and the insulin sensitivity of target cells (liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue) and protects β-cells from harmful immune attacks [41].…”
