Impact of vitamin d treatment on 25 hydroxy vitamin d levels and insulin homeostasis in obese african american adolescents in a randomized trial

Conclusion While serum 25(OH)D levels in obese AA teens increased adequately with vitamin treatment for 12 weeks and correlated with fasting insulin, it did not significantly impact insulin secretion or sensitivity. Larger studies are required over a longer period of time to confirm and explore the reasons for this finding.
