Abstract:Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) often incur damage to pancreas tissue due to a dysfunctional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, leading to altered chloride transport on epithelial surfaces and subsequent development of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with the development of CFRD. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a high-dose bolus of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) on glycemic control. This was a secondar… Show more
