Exploring the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on surrogate biomarkers of cholesterol absorption and endogenous synthesis in patients with type 2 diabetes-randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D3 supplementation for 24 wk had no significant effect on surrogate biomarkers of cholesterol absorption or endogenous synthesis, consistent with the lack of effect on serum cholesterol profile. Vitamin D3 supplementation resulted in greater reduction in campesterol concentrations in participants not using compared with those using cholesterol-lowering medications. Further studies are required.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01736865.
