Effect of long term vitamin D supplementation on biomarkers of inflammation in Latino and African-American subjects with pre-diabetes and hypovitaminosis D.

ABSTRACT: Low vitamin D levels are associated with minority subjects, the metabolic syndrome, and inflammation. The effect of vitamin D supplementation on markers of inflammation has not been well studied. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of high doses of vitamin D supplementation for 1 year on serum biomarkers of inflammation in Latino and African-American subjects with pre-diabetes and hypovitaminosis D. Latino (n=69) and African-American (n=11) subjects who had both pre-diabetes and hypovitaminosis D with a mean age of 52.0 years, a BMI of 32.7?kg/m(2), and 70% of whom were females, were randomized to receive weekly doses (mean±SD) of vitamin D (85 300 IU±16?000) or placebo oil for 1 year. Serum levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor, highly sensitive C-reactive protein), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, and insulin-like growth factor-1 were measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months. Serum 25-OH vitamin D levels of 22?ng/ml at baseline quickly rose to nearly 70?ng/ml in subjects receiving vitamin D and did not change in the placebo group. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed no differences between the 2 groups in any of the 5 selected parameters. High dose vitamin D supplementation for 1 year in minority subjects with pre-diabetes and hypovitaminosis D failed to affect serum biomarkers of inflammation.Clinical trial reg. no.: NCT00876928, clinicaltrials.gov.

Vitamin D3 supplementation in obese, African-American, vitamin D deficient adolescents.

Project description:Objectives:Obese, African-American (AA) adolescents are at increased risk for vitamin D deficiency. The primary objective of this pilot study was to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation upon 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) levels in obese, AA adolescents. Methods:A randomized, double-blinded, controlled pilot study included 26 obese (BMI???95%ile), vitamin D deficient (25OHD?<?20?ng/mL), pubertal AA adolescents (ages 12-17). Subjects received cholecalciferol 1000?IU or 5000?IU daily for 3?months. Serum 25OHD, vitamin D binding protein, parathyroid hormone, and cardiometabolic risk markers were obtained at baseline and post-treatment. Results:Of 39 subjects enrolled, 26 (67%) were vitamin D deficient (mean 25OHD 12.0?±?3.8?ng/mL) at baseline and were randomized, with 22 completing the study. Sex, age, season, pubertal stage, BMI, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and 25OHD were similar at baseline between the 1000?IU and 5000?IU groups. Post-treatment, 25OHD increased less in the 1000?IU group (5.6?ng/mL, p?=?0.03) vs. the 5000?IU group (15.6?ng/mL, p?=?0.002). 83% of the 5000?IU group and 30% of the 1000?IU group reached post-treatment 25OHD???20?ng/mL (p?=?0.01); 50% of the 5000?IU group, but no subject from the 1000?IU group, achieved 25OHD???30?ng/mL (p?=?0.009). We detected no group differences in mineral metabolites or cardiometabolic risk markers following supplementation. Conclusions:Cholecalciferol dosing in excess of the current Institute of Medicine dietary reference intakes was required to achieve 25OHD levels ?20?ng/mL in obese, AA adolescents. Supplementation of 5000?IU may be required to achieve the desired goal.

Effects of vitamin D supplementation in older African American women.

Project description:ContextSerum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is lower in women with darker skin color. Is it due to lower skin production, lower absorption, or different metabolism of vitamin D?ObjectivesThe objective of the study was to measure the effect of vitamin D3 on serum 25OHD and serum PTH in older African American women with vitamin D insufficiency and the serum 25OHD 20 ng/mL or less (<50 nmol/L). The results can be used to estimate the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).Design and settingThis was a randomized, double-blind placebo trial at Creighton University Medical Center and Indiana University Medical Center.ParticipantsParticipants were 110 healthy older African American women.InterventionsThe intervention consisted of participants randomly assigned to placebo, vitamin D3 400, 800, 1600, 2400, 3200, 4000, or 4800 IU daily; calcium supplements were given to maintain total calcium intake of 1200-1400 mg/d.Main outcome measurementsChange in serum 25OHD and serum PTH levels at 12 months was measured.ResultsMean baseline serum 25OHD was 13 ng/mL (33 nmol/L). On 4800 IU, serum 25OHD averaged 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L) compared with 47 ng/mL (117 nmol/L) in Caucasian women. Serum PTH at 12 months decreased significantly (P = .008) when related to serum 25OHD but not dose. Hypercalcemia occurred in 7% and hypercalciuria in 15%. Events were unrelated to vitamin D dose.ConclusionVitamin D3 800 IU increased serum 25OHD greater than 20 ng/mL (>50 nmol/L) in 97.5% of the African American women just as it did in the Caucasian women, and therefore, the RDA is the same for both groups. Because absorption and metabolism of oral vitamin D absorption is similar in both groups, lower levels of serum 25OHD in African Americans must be due to lower production of vitamin D in skin.

EFFECT OF HIGH-DOSE VITAMIN D REPLETION ON GLYCEMIC CONTROL IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MALES WITH PREDIABETES AND HYPOVITAMINOSIS D.

Project description:This double-blind, randomized, controlled trial evaluated whether 12 months of high-dose vitamin D2 supplementation improved insulin sensitivity and secretion and glycemic status.African-American males (AAM) with prediabetes (glycosylated hemoglobin [A1C] 5.7-6.4%), hypovitaminosis D (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25OHD] 5-29 ng/mL), and prevalent medical problems were supplemented with vitamin D3 (400 IU/day) and then randomized to weekly placebo or vitamin D2 (50,000 IU). The primary outcome was the change in oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS, from an oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT]) after 12 months of treatment. Secondary outcomes included other glycemic indices, A1C, and incident diabetes.Baseline characteristics were similar in vitamin D-supplemented (n = 87) and placebo (n = 86) subjects completing the trial with average concentrations 14.4 ng/mL, 362 mL × min(-1) × m(-2), and 6.1% for 25OHD, OGIS and A1C, respectively. After 12 months, the vitamin D-supplemented group had a change in serum 25OHD +35 versus +6 ng/mL for placebo, P<.001; OGIS +7.8 versus -16.0 mL × min(-1) × m(-2) for placebo, P = .026; and A1C -0.01 versus +0.01% for placebo, P = .66. Ten percent of subjects in both groups progressed to diabetes. A posthoc analysis of participants with baseline impaired fasting glucose (IFG) showed that more subjects in the vitamin D subgroup (31.6%) than placebo (8.3%) returned to normal glucose tolerance, but the difference did not reach significance (P = .13).The trial does not provide evidence that 12 months of high-dose D2 repletion improves clinically relevant glycemic outcomes in subjects with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D (NCT01375660).

High-dose vitamin D supplementation in people with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D.

Project description:ObjectiveLow vitamin D levels predict the development of diabetes. This double-blind, randomized, control study in subjects with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D evaluated whether high doses of vitamin D for 1 year affected insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and the development of diabetes.Research design and methodsA total of 1,551 subjects ≥40 years of age not known to have diabetes were screened with A1C levels. Subjects with A1C levels of 5.8-6.9% underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Subjects with prediabetes and 25-OH vitamin D (25-OHD) levels <30 ng/mL were randomized to receive weekly placebo (n = 53) or vitamin D (n = 56) with doses based on body weight and baseline 25-OHD levels. OGTTs were performed 3, 6, 9, and 12 months later. Insulin secretion and sensitivity were measured, and the proportion of subjects developing diabetes was assessed.Results25-OHD levels rapidly rose from 22 to nearly 70 ng/mL after vitamin D supplementation with a mean weekly dose of 88,865 IU. There were no differences between the placebo and vitamin D groups regarding fasting plasma glucose, 2-h glucose, or insulin secretion and sensitivity or in the percent developing diabetes or returning to normal glucose tolerance. No subjects experienced increased serum or urinary calcium levels. At 12 months, A1C levels were significantly slightly less (0.2%) in the vitamin D group.ConclusionsIn individuals with prediabetes and hypovitaminosis D, doses of vitamin D supplementation designed to raise serum 25-OHD levels into the upper-normal range for 1 year had no effect on insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, or the development of diabetes compared with placebo administration.

Vitamin D3 supplementation for 16 weeks improves flow-mediated dilation in overweight African-American adults.

Project description:BackgroundA growing body of evidence has linked vitamin D deficiency to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D deficiency is also more common in African Americans for whom an increased cardiovascular disease risk exists. This study sought to test the hypothesis that 16 weeks of 60,000 IU monthly supplementation of oral vitamin D(3) would improve flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in African Americans, whereas no change would be observed in the placebo group.MethodsA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Fifty-seven African-American adults were randomly assigned to either the placebo group or vitamin D group.ResultsFollowing 16 weeks of placebo (n = 23; mean age 31 ± 2 years) or 60,000 IU monthly oral vitamin D(3) (n = 22; mean age 29 ± 2 years), serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) increased from 38.2 ± 3.0 to 48.7 ± 3.2 nmol/l and 34.3 ± 2.2 to 100.9 ± 6.6 nmol/l, respectively. No changes in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum calcium, or urine calcium/creatinine were observed following either treatment. Following 16 weeks of treatment, significant improvements in FMD were only observed in the vitamin D group (1.8 ± 1.3%), whereas the placebo group had no change (-1.3 ± 0.6%). Similarly, the vitamin D group exhibited an increase in absolute change in diameter (0.005 ± 0.004 cm) and FMD/shear (0.08 ± 0.04 %/s(-1), area under the curve (AUC) × 10(3)) following treatment, whereas no change (-0.005 ± 0.002 cm and -0.02 ± 0.02 %/s(-1), AUC, respectively) was observed following placebo.ConclusionSupplementation of 60,000 IU monthly oral vitamin D(3) (~2,000 IU/day) for 16 weeks is effective at improving vascular endothelial function in African-American adults.

Familism and inflammatory processes in African American, Latino, and White youth.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:African Americans and Latinos make up the two largest minority groups in the United States, and compared with Whites, these ethnic minority groups face disproportionate risk for certain physical health problems. However, factors that may protect these groups against early risk for poor health are not entirely understood. Familism, which emphasizes family interdependence and commitment, and is more prevalent among Latino and African American families, may be one such factor. The current study examined whether values and behaviors related to familism were differentially associated with inflammatory processes among White, African American, and Latino youth. METHOD:Participants were 257 youth who completed measures of familism values and behaviors and whose parents reported on their ethnicity. Participants also provided blood samples for the assessment of proinflammatory cytokine responses to bacterial challenge and of sensitivity to anti-inflammatory features of cortisol and interleukin (IL)-10. RESULTS:Significant familism values and behaviors by ethnicity interactions were observed. For Latino and African American youth but not for White youth, more familism values were associated with greater sensitivity to IL-10. Additionally, for African American youth, more familism behaviors were associated with decreased cytokine responses to bacterial challenge and greater sensitivity to cortisol and IL-10. By contrast, familism behaviors were associated with lower sensitivity to cortisol in White youth and were not associated with any inflammatory outcomes in Latino youth. CONCLUSION:This pattern of findings suggests that for African American youth and to some extent for Latino youth, familism values and behaviors may be protective against the elevated risk for poor health they face.

How Neighborhood Effects Vary: Childbearing and Fathering among Latino and African American Adolescents.

Project description:This study examines what neighborhood conditions experienced at age 15 and after are associated with teen childbearing and fathering among Latino and African American youth and whether these neighborhood effects vary by gender and/or ethnicity. Administrative and survey data from a natural experiment are used for a sample of 517 Latino and African American youth whose families were quasi-randomly assigned to public housing operated by the Denver (CO) Housing Authority (DHA). Characteristics of the neighborhood initially assigned by DHA to wait list applicants are utilized as identifying instruments for the neighborhood contexts experienced during adolescence. Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) models reveal that neighborhoods having higher percentages of foreign-born residents but lower levels of social capital robustly predict reduced odds of teen parenting though the magnitude of these effects was contingent on gender and ethnicity. Specifically, the presence of foreign-born neighbors on the risk of teen parenting produced a stronger dampening effect for African American youth when compared to Latino youth. Additionally, the effects of social capital on teen parenting were stronger for males than females.

Vitamin D3 Repletion Improves Vascular Function, as Measured by Cardiorenal Biomarkers in a High-Risk African American Cohort.

Project description:Background: 25-hydroxy vitamin D (Vit D)-deficiency is common among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD). African Americans (AAs) suffer disproportionately from CKD and CVD, and 80% of AAs are Vit D-deficient. The impact of Vit D repletion on cardio-renal biomarkers in AAs is unknown. We examined Vit D repletion on full-length osteopontin (flOPN), c-terminal fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), which are implicated in vascular and kidney pathology. Methods: We performed a randomized, placebo-controlled study of high-risk AAs with Vit D deficiency, treated with 100,000 IU Vit D3 (cholecalciferol; n = 65) or placebo (n = 65) every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. We measured kidney function (CKD-EPI eGFR), protein-to-creatinine ratio, vascular function (pulse wave velocity; PWV), augmentation index, waist circumference, sitting, and 24-h-ambulatory blood pressure (BP), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and serum calcium at baseline and study end, and compared Vit D levels with laboratory variables. We quantified plasma FGF-23, PAI-1, and flOPN by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multiple regression analyzed the relationship between log flOPN, FGF-23, and PAI-1 with vascular and renal risk factors. Results: Compared to placebo, Vit D3 repletion increased Vit D3 2-fold (p < 0.0001), decreased iPTH by 12% (p < 0.01) and was significantly correlated with PWV (p < 0.009). Log flOPN decreased (p = 0.03), log FGF-23 increased (p = 0.04), but log PAI-1 did not change. Multiple regression indicated association between log flOPN and PWV (p = 0.04) and diastolic BP (p = 0.02), while log FGF-23 was associated with diastolic BP (p = 0.05), and a trend with eGFR (p = 0.06). Conclusion: Vit D3 repletion may reduce flOPN and improve vascular function in high risk AAs with Vit D deficiency.
