Abstract Background Obesity is a worldwide problem and is a major risk factor for chronic diseases. The relation between obesity and vitamin D is not completely understood. Obesity is associated with vitamin D insufficiency. Some studies claim that vitamin D may reduce lipogenesis and others claim that vitamin D can promote adipogenesis. Aim of the study This study was planned to evaluate the effect of alteration in vitamin D level on body weight and adipose tissue metabolism in an obese rat model. Methods 32 Female Albino-rats were randomly allocated into: control group (C, n = 8), fed on control diet containing 1000 IU vitamin D/kg diet, and a high caloric diet group (HCD, n = 32). The HCD group was further subdivided into 3 groups according to the vitamin D dose into: standard vitamin D dose group (HCD+SVD) containing 1000 IU vitamin D/kg diet, low vitamin D dose group (HCD+LVD) containing 25 IU vitamin D/kg diet and high vitamin D dose group (HCD+HVD) containing 5169 IU vitamin D/kg diet. Body mass index, serum vitamin D, glucose, lipid profile, TNF-α and adipose tissue UCP-1 were measured. Different fat depots were weighed and histopathologically assessed. Results HCD+HVD group showed a significant increase in the final body mass index and in the different fat depot weights compared to all groups. Compared to the HCD+SVD group, the HCD+HVD group showed significantly lower serum total cholesterol and LDL-c levels, while it showed a non-significant change in serum glucose, TNF-α and visceral adipose tissue UCP-1. A significant negative correlation was found between serum 25(OH)D and visceral adipose tissue UCP-1. HCD+LVD showed the highest visceral adipose tissue UCP-1 compared to all groups. Conclusion Vitamin D promoted adiposity and decreased visceral adipose tissue UCP-1 but improved the associated derangements in lipid profile.

Introduction Obesity is often accompanied by a number of complications including diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Elevated blood pressure and lipids, as well as deterioration of glucoregulation are attributed, as the most significant factors, to development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular complications in obese patients. Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of a fasting diet on blood pressure, lipid profile and glucoregulatory parameters. Method We included 110 patients (33 male and 77 female; mean age 35?1 years, body weight 131.7?2.6 kg, body mass index 45.4?0.8 kg/m2) who were hospitalized for three weeks for the treatment of extreme obesity with the fasting diet. At the beginning, during, and at the end of this period, we evaluated changes in blood pressure, lipid profile, as well as parameters of glucoregulation including glycaemia, insulinaemia, and insulin sensitivity by HOMA. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in all patients at the beginning and at the end of the fasting diet. Results During the fasting diet, the body weight decreased from 131.7?2.6 kg to 117.7?2.4 kg (p<0.001), the body mass index decreased from 45.4?0.8 kg/m2 to 40.8?0.8 kg/m2 (p<0.001), and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly declined (143?2 vs. 132?2 mm Hg, p<0.001; 92?2 vs. 85?2 mm Hg, p<0.001). In addition, the fasting diet produced a significant decrease in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, as well as basal glycaemia and insulinaemia (p<0.001) Before the fasting diet, OGTT was normal in 76% of patients, whereas 21% of patients showed glucose intolerance, and 4% of patients diabetes mellitus. After the fasting diet, OGTT was normal in 88% of patients, whereas 12% of patients still had signs of glucose intolerance (p<0.05). In addition, insulin resistance significantly (p<0.05) increased from 54?6% to 89?13% after the fasting diet. Conclusion The three-week fasting diet in extremely obese patients produced a significant decrease and normalization of blood pressure, decrease in lipids, and improvement in glucoregulation including the increase in insulin sensitivity.

Aim: To determine the role of vitamin D in the management of COVID-19 patients regarding morbidity and mortality. Study Design: Prospective/Observational Place and Duration: Departments of Medicine & Pulmonology, Allama Iqbal Memorial Teaching Hospital, Sialkot and Department of Medicine, Sughra Shafi Medical Complex Narowal from 1st November 2020 to 30th April 2020. Methodology: One hundred and sixty patients of both genders diagnosed to have COVID-19, were enrolled. Patient’s ages were ranging from 17 to 70 years. The detailed demographics such as age, sex, and body mass index were recorded. 5 ml blood samples were taken from all the patients to check their vitamin D levels. Severe Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L (10 ng/dl). Association between mortality and morbidity was examined. Results: Ninety (56.25%) were males while 70 (43.75%) were females with mean age 40.15±17.37 years. Mean body mass index of patients was 24.16±7.26 kg/m2. Severe vitamin D deficiency was observed in 80 (50%) patients. Mortality found in 30 (18.75%) patients. Frequency of morbidity was among 66 (41.25%) patients. Patients with severe vitamin D deficiency had high rate of mortality 20 (25%) and morbidity 50 (62.5%) as compared to patients with no vitamin D deficiency had 10 (8%) mortality and 16 (20%) morbidity. A significant association was observed between severe vitamin D deficiency regarding morbidity and mortality among patients with covid-19 disease with p-value <0.05. Conclusion: The vitamin-D has strongest relationship among patients with covid-19 disease to reduce mortality and morbidity. Keywords: Morbidity, COVID-19, Vitamin D, Mortality
