“…In contrast, some recent studies have suggested that 25(OH)D may play a role in the regulation of adiponectin [11,15]. Adiponectin was identified and confirmed to be significantly decreased in 25(OH)D deficient obese pediatric [16]. Kardas et al, 2013 [11] in Turkey reported that 25(OH)D was positively correlated with adiponectin.…”

“…Obesity is usually correlated with the higher prevalence of hypovitaminosis or the lower circulating 25(OH) D level in both pediatric as well as adult populations [15]. Low vitamin D stores as determined by 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH) D] levels; which is the most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in the body ( normal, insufficiency or deficiency); are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular and mortality, but the mechanisms for this are unclear [16].…”
BACKGROUND:Association between vitamin D, adiponectin and obesity is a matter of debate, as they play important role in linking obesity with different cardio metabolic risk factors.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
