Adipose-specific Vdr deletion alters body fat and enhances mammary epithelial density
Study Summary:
The objective of this study was to examine the role of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) in adipose tissue with a strong focus on the mammary gland. Vitamin D status has been associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome and several cancers such as colon and breast. It is known that adipocytes express VDR and obesity is a known risk factor for cancer. Researchers performing this study sought to explore the intricacies of adipocytes,the actions of vitamin D in adipose tissue, and how they may contribute to its cancer protective effects.
The results of this study revealed that Vdr in mature adipocytes alters the metabolic response to high fat diets and exerts anti-proliferative effects on the mammary epithelium.
Eagle Biosciences’ 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA was used to measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D in serum samples. Read More
