Phase III Study on the Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Indices of Mineral and Musculoskeletal Metabolism and on Parameters of Glucose and Fuel Metabolism in Elderly Subjects
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Euro D and Ci-CalD and Euro D, Ci-CalD for Hypovitaminosis D and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 257 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The optimal dose of vitamin D needed to optimize beneficial effects on musculoskeletal outcomes remains to be defined. Equally unclear is the impact of vitamin D on fuel metabolism and insulin sensitivity in human subjects. Thus, the overall objective of this proposal is to test the hypothesis that in ambulatory overweight elderly individuals, vitamin D administration at doses higher than currently recommended will: 1. Have a salutary effect on parameters of glucose and fuel metabolism. It will thus decrease indices of insulin resistance, improve lipid profile, and decrease markers of cardiovascular disease including adipokines, inflammatory cytokines, and markers of cell adhesion. 2. Have a superior effect on indices of mineral and musculoskeletal metabolism, including bone remodeling markers, lean mass, and bone mineral density. We will investigate whether this effect is modulated by entry status of vitaminD and PTH as detailed below
