No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to verify the role of adipose tissue in determining the vitamin D serum level after monthly oral administration in subjects with vitamin D deficiency.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Adipose tissue represents a storage environment for vitamin D or it's an environment where vitamin D is sequestered and no longer released
* On the other hands, it's possible to verify whether the adipose tissue carries out a bi-modal activity towards vitamin D
* If adipose tissue exerts a bi-modal effect, it is possible to identify a specific threshold between the two effects Participants will undergo anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist/hip ratio waist circumference) at baseline and after 6 months of intake of cholecalciferol 50,000 IU/month
