The aim of the study was to evaluate whether vitamin D [25-(OH) D3] status affects serum IGFI concentrations in healthy subjects.
Two hundred and forty-one consecutive healthy subjects were included in the present study.
Serum IGF-I and 25-(OH) D3 concentrations.
As expected, serum IGF-I concentrations progressively decreased with age (r=-0.55, p<0.0001); on the contrary, gender was not related to serum IGF-I levels. A positive relationship was identified between serum 25-(OH) D3 and IGF-I concentrations (r=0.33, p<0.0001); the 25-(OH) D3-dependent changes of serum IGF-I concentrations were observed also when subjects were divided on the basis of vitamin D deficiency; in fact, those with severe 25-(OH) D3 deficiency (<20 ng/ml) had lower (185 ± 83 μg/l) IGF-I values than those with mild-to absent 25-(OH) D3 deficit (225 ± 83 μg/l, p=0.0004).
25-(OH) D3 status may contribute to determine serum IGF-I levels in healthy population.
本研究旨在评估维生素 D [25-(OH) D3] 状态是否会影响健康受试者的血清 IGFI 浓度。
本研究纳入了 241 例连续的健康受试者。
血清 IGF-I 和 25-(OH) D3 浓度。
正如预期的那样,血清 IGF-I 浓度随年龄逐渐降低(r=-0.55,p<0.0001);相反,性别与血清 IGF-I 水平无关。血清 25-(OH) D3 与 IGF-I 浓度之间存在正相关关系(r=0.33,p<0.0001);当根据维生素 D 缺乏情况对受试者进行分组时,也观察到了血清 IGF-I 浓度随 25-(OH) D3 变化的情况;事实上,那些有严重 25-(OH) D3 缺乏症(<20ng/ml)的患者(185±83μg/l)的 IGF-I 值低于那些有轻度至无 25-(OH) D3 缺乏症的患者(225±83μg/l,p=0.0004)。
25-(OH) D3 状态可能有助于确定健康人群的血清 IGF-I 水平。
