The increased incidences of chronic diseases, which are closely related to the risk of metabolic syndrome, include obesity, high levels of triglycerides, especially cholesterol, and high blood sugar that occurs as a result of insulin resistance. These occur due to changes in lifestyle that are in habits associated with unhealthy nutrition and physical activity and the influence of other external factors. However, scientific research is still underway to find preventive solutions for this syndrome. Metabolic syndromes cause epidemics in most countries, resulting in a major public health concern.
Research studies focus on the importance of finding a relationship in the deficiency of one of the basic micro-components such as vitamin D on the occurrence of metabolic disorders, which results in these chronic diseases. Therefore, many of them were taken on the existence of a relationship between vitamin D and metabolic syndromes, which included a number of aspects in terms of the physiological mechanisms of the occurrence of pathological conditions. It is concluded from this that vitamin D deficiency in metabolic disorders results in its main effects on osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, and heart problems related to atherosclerosis, in addition to other hormonal disorders related to vitamin D.
Vitamin D is one of the most important basic micro-components that must be obtained from natural sources such as the sun and nutrition. Vitamin D plays a key role as an assistant hormone on the various tissues of the body. Recently, interest in it has increased and its functions have been intensively evaluated after it was noticed that vitamin D receptors are present on all types of cells of the body, which gives evidence of the presence of its various effects on most cells. These studies show the extent of the impact of vitamin D deficiency on the possibility of diabetes, as it affects the sensitivity of insulin secretion, and on the other hand, the possibility of causing excessive weight gain, in addition to its effect on the level of lipids, especially low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). In addition, several studies have shown differences in whether vitamin D deficiency is a consequence rather than a cause of obesity. From this, we conclude the importance of vitamin D and its association with the possibility and potential increase in the risk of metabolic syndrome. Finally, there are no clear explanations and clear scientific evidence showing what is the relationship of vitamin D and metabolic syndrome, including the relationship of vitamin D with obesity.
This Research Topic will explore the relationship between vitamin D, particularly its deficiency, and metabolic syndromes. We welcome original research, review, mini review, and perspective articles on the relationship of vitamin D deficiency and obesity, diabetes (especially insulin sensitivity), high blood glucose and blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, and high triglycerides.
