Impact of vitamin D status on statin-induced myopathy
[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214623716300503 by Krista D. Riche Pharm.D. a b, Justin Arnall Pharm.D.,Kristin Rieser Pharm. Honey E. East M.D. d Daniel M. Riche Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, CDE, ASH-CHC, CLS 12/2016 Journal of Clinical & Translational Endocrinology]
There is a multitude of evidence supporting the benefit of statin use in cardiovascular disease; however, statin-induced myopathy is a major reason for statin discontinuation and non-adherence. Vitamin D deficiency has been independently associated with muscle weakness and severe myopathy, and may be a confounder for statin-induced myopathies. Since there is no consensus on a treatment course of action for statin-induced myopathy, investigation into potential confounders to elucidate the dynamics of statin-induced myopathy is warranted.
A dose of vitamin D history
by nature structural & molecular biology 2/22
Our bodies are capable of producing vitamin D — we are not entirely dependent on obtaining it from food, as is the case with other 'true' vitamins. In fact, we can produce enough vitamin D to maintain essential processes when our skin is adequately exposed to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight.
Vitamin D deficiency 2.0: an update on the current status worldwide
by Karin Amrein 20/1/20 nature
Vitamin D testing and the use of vitamin D supplements have increased substantially in recent years. Currently, the role of vitamin D supplementation, and the optimal vitamin D dose and status, is a subject of debate, because large interventional studies have been unable to show a clear benefit (in mostly vitamin D replete populations).
Official recommendations for vitamin D through the life stages in developed countries
by Samantha M. Kimball 20/8/20 EJCN
Inadequate vitamin D nutritional status is prevalent worldwide and has been associated with autoimmune disorders, heart disease, deadly cancers, insulin resistance, inflammation, neurological disorders, adverse outcomes in pregnancy, and increased risk for mortality. Expert recommendations for vitamin D intake differ between governmental agencies and practice guidelines from medical societies due to differences in the definition of vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency and sufficiency based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations.
