Journal ArticleDOI
Prostate cancer risk and prediagnostic serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (Finland).
TL;DR: It is concluded that low levels of 25-VD associated with an increased risk for subsequent earlier exposure and more aggressive development of prostate cancer, especially before the andropause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Both high and low levels of blood vitamin D are associated with a higher prostate cancer risk: a longitudinal, nested case-control study in the Nordic countries.

TL;DR: A longitudinal nested case‐control study on Nordic men using serum banks of 200,000 samples found that both low and high 25(OH)‐vitamin D serum concentrations are associated with higher prostate cancer risk.

TL;DR: Clinical trials of vitamin D supplementation are needed to investigate whether it enhances immunity to microbial infection in young Finnish men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurosteroid hormone vitamin D and its utility in clinical nutrition.
Allan V. Kalueff,Pentti Tuohimaa +1 more
TL;DR: Clinical and experimental evidence of the role of vitamin D in normal and pathological brain functions are discussed, and the relative importance ofitamin D-modulated brain mechanisms at different stages of life are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The grooming analysis algorithm discriminates between different levels of anxiety in rats: potential utility for neurobehavioural stress research.
Allan V. Kalueff,Pentti Tuohimaa +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the rat grooming analysis algorithm can be a useful tool in neurobehavioural stress research including modelling stress-evoked states, psychopharmacological or behavioural neurogenetics research in rats.
