Factors influencing serum 25-hydroxivitamin D levels and other bone metabolism parameters in healthy older women
2016
Objective: Older women have frequently low serum 25-hydroxivitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations, high parathormone (PTH) levels and low bone mineral density (BMD) values. Endogenous synthesis, dietary habits, sunlight exposure and fat-mass-mediated storage may influence 25(OH)D levels and bone metabolism, but the relevance of these factors in the elderly has yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate the influence of dietary vitamin D intake and fat mass on serum 25(OH)D levels and bone metabolism in older women. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Community. Participants: 218 fit older women attending a biweekly mild fitness program. Measurements: Dietary habits was investigated throu…

Potential Effects of Dietary Vitamin E in Laboratory Animal Diets on Results Obtained in Models of Disease
1998
This chapter will demonstrate the importance of vitamin E dietary supplements on cell functions, on different biomedical systems, and on diverse pathophysiological conditions, with special emphasis being placed on cardiovascular pathophysiology. These effects are presented as a rationale for the use of vitamin E supplements in diets of farm animals, pets, and also of laboratory animals. The latter point gives reason for considerable problems, which are discussed in the last chapter of this article.
