Vitamin D Deficiency in Obese Adolescent Girls and Influence of Vitamin D on Insulin Secretion and Sensitivity

In brief
Sub-clinical vitamin D deficiency is a commonly unrecognized disorder in obese adolescents. The investigators hypothesize vitamin D deficiency will be highly prevalent in obese adolescents and those who are vitamin D deficient will be more insulin resistant.
