In “high-risk” infants with sufficient vitamin d status at birth, infant vitamin D supplementation had no effect on allergy outcomes: A randomized controlled trial

Early infancy oral vitamin D supplementation does not appear to reduce the development of early childhood allergic disease

Introduction to the themed issue The health benefits of UV radiation exposure through Vitamin D production or non-Vitamin D pathways

The health benefits of UV radiation exposure through Vitamin D production or non-Vitamin D pathways

Vitamin D C3-epimer levels are proportionally higher with oral vitamin D supplementation compared to ultraviolet irradiation of skin in mice but not humans

The proportion of 25(OH)D3 that undergoes epimerization is greater with oral vitamin D3 supplementation than exposure to UVR in mice, but not in humans

Predictors of vitamin D-containing supplement use in the Australian population and associations between dose and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations

The prevalence of vitamin D-containing supplement use was generally low in the Australian population, particularly for single vitamin D supplements

New research links poor language to lack of Vitamin D in womb

New research has found that children of mums who had low levels of Vitamin D during pregnancy are twice as likely to have language difficulties.

How traditional bush tucker could help boost Aboriginal children’s vitamin D

Researchers are collaborating with Community Elders to find out how bush tucker and traditional food can improve the health of Aboriginal children.

Sun exposure and vitamin D status as northeast asian migrants become acculturated to life in Australia

Targeted public health approaches are required to manage the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in migrants retaining a traditional lifestyle

Vitamin D and parathyroid hormone in insulin resistance of abdominal obesity: Cause or effect?

The objective was to examine whether there were causal links between vitamin D status, parathyroid hormone, insulin resistance.

Developmental vitamin D deficiency produces behavioral phenotypes of relevance to Autism in an animal model

Here we investigate these features in an animal model related to autism spectrum disorder - the DVD-deficient rat

Ultraviolet radiation, Vitamin D and the development of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes

Emerging findings suggest a protective role for ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and sun exposure in reducing the development of obesity and cardiometabolic dysfunction, but more epidemiological and clinical research is required that focuses on measuring the direct associations and effects of exposure to UVR in humans.
