Role of Fat Tissue in Vitamin D Metabolism

Completed

Conditions studied: Vitamin D, Adipose Tissue

In brief

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that has important effects on calcium (including absorption of calcium from the diet) and bone metabolism. Vitamin D is known to be stored in fat tissue, and it is also present in the circulation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between levels of vitamin D in fat tissue and in blood.
