Vitamin D supplementation for women during pregnancy

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of supplementing with vitamin D alone or in combination with calcium or other vitamins and minerals given to women during pregnancy can safely improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal Mineral and Bone Metabolism During Pregnancy, Lactation, and Post-Weaning Recovery

TL;DR: This review addresses the current knowledge regarding maternal adaptations in mineral and skeletal homeostasis that occur during pregnancy, lactation, and post-weaning recovery and the impacts that these adaptations have on biochemical and hormonal parameters of mineralHomeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of vitamin D supplementation on non-skeletal disorders: a systematic review of meta-analyses and randomised trials

TL;DR: There remains little evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation has an effect on most conditions, including chronic inflammation, despite use of increased doses of vitamin D, strengthening the hypothesis that low vitamin D status is a consequence of ill health, rather than its cause.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D and cardiovascular disease prevention

TL;DR: Current available evidence does not support cardiovascular benefits or harms of vitamin D supplementation with the commonly used doses, and whether vitamin D has cardiovascular effects in individuals with overt vitamin D deficiency remains to be evaluated.

Expression of vitamin D-metabolizing enzymes in human adipose tissue -- the effect of obesity and diet-induced weight loss.

TL;DR: AT has the capacity to metabolize VD locally, and this can be dynamically altered during obesity and weight loss, whereas the catabolic vitamin-D-24-hydroxylase CYP24A1 does not differ between lean and obese women.

Vitamin D deficiency and supplementation during pregnancy.

TL;DR: The aim of this study is to determine the vitamin D status in pregnancy and to evaluate the effects of daily and of single‐dose vitamin D supplementation.

Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy: Effect on neonatal calcium homeostasis

TL;DR: The data demonstrate the importance of providing adequate maternal vitamin D stores to ensure better perinatal handling of calcium, and are of particular importance for populations at risk for hypovitaminosis D.

Vitamin D and gestational diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A meta-analysis indicates a significant inverse relation of serum 25OHD and the incidence of GDM, however, it remains unclear whether this association is causal due to the observational study design of the studies.
