Vitamin D Deficiency in Adolescent Girls
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ergocalciferol and placebo pill for Healthy and Vitamin D Deficiency. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a newly discovered hormone which regulates phosphate and vitamin D levels. In this study, we are looking at what the normal levels of FGF23 are in adolescent girls and how these levels vary with other hormonal measurements. We will also be looking at whether vitamin D supplementation in adolescents who are deficient in vitamin D alters the levels of FGF23 and other factors including insulin resistance.
