Research progress of mechanism of vitamin D in regulating obesity and insulin resistance on children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Vitamin D has a wide range of biochemical effects. Insufficiency/ deficiency of vitamin D increases the risk of insulin resistance by ways of inflammation,adipocytokines,oxidative stress and mitochondria function,it could lead to metabolic disorder of glucose and lipid,which closely relates to the incidence and development of obesity and metabolic syndrome on children. This paper presents the relationship between vitamin D with obesity and metabolic syndrome on children,states the possible mechanisms of regulation of glucose/ lipid metabolism and insulin resistance by vitamin D.
