A Short-Term Zinc-Deficient Diet Maintains Serum Calcium Concentrations through Ca Absorption-Related Gene Expression in Rats
J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2024;70(1):82-87. doi: 10.3177/jnsv.70.82.ABSTRACTWe investigated the effects of short-term dietary zinc deficiency on zinc and calcium metabolism. Four-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into two pair-fed groups for a 1-wk treatment: zinc-deficient group (ZD, 1 ppm); control group (PF, 30 ppm). The mRNA expression of zinc transporters, such as Slc39a (Zip) 4, Zip5, Zip10, and Slc30a (ZnT) 1, in various tissues (liver, kidney, and duodenum) quickly responded to dietary zinc deficiency. Although there was no significant difference in serum calcium concentrations between the PF and ZD groups...

Exploring the link between vitamin D deficiency and obstructive sleep apnea: A comprehensive review
J Sleep Res. 2024 Feb 27:e14166. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14166. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the high prevalence and significant health burden of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), its underlying pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. This comprehensive review explores the emerging connection between vitamin D deficiency and OSA, discusses potential mechanisms underlying this association, and explores the therapeutic implications of these findings. Recent research has consistently highlighted the high incidence of vitamin D deficiency among patients with OSA, which often occurs independently of geographical locatio...
