Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Insulin Sensitivity and Retinol-binding Protein 4 Levels in Subjects With Vitamin D Deficiency
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Ergocalciferols and Placebo for Insulin Sensitivity. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Healthy subjects with low Vitamin D levels will be randomly assigned to either Vitamin D replacement or placebo for a period of 8 weeks. Insulin sensitivity will be measured before and after the intervention, and the changes will be compared between the two groups. This will help us understand if Vitamin D replacement improves insulin sensitivity. Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 levels will also be measured to see if changes in insulin sensitivity are mediated by RBP4.
