Alterations in the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) contribute to the underlying
pathophysiology of insulin resistance in humans; however, individual differences in the …

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global public health issue of increasing magnitude. The
Asia-Pacific region is expected to be hardest hit due to large population numbers, rising …

Vitamin D has been implicated in the pathophysiology of extraskeletal conditions such as
hypertension, kidney disease, and diabetes via its ability to negatively regulate the renin …

Vitamin D deficiency is considered a global public health problem with high prevalence in
children and adolescents. The majority of the studies in the literature have identified a …

Abstract Introduction: Low plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD) is associated with
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the development …

Low 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) and adiponectin levels are both associated with
obesity and cardiovascular disease. Cross‐sectional studies have suggested that 25 (OH) D …

We aimed to elucidate the role of vitamin D supplementation on adipokines through a
systematic review and a meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCTs). The …

Background: Elevated renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) activity is an
important mechanism in the development of hypertension. Both obesity and 25-hydroxy …

Context: Adiponectin (adpN) production is down-regulated in several situations associated
with insulin resistance. The hypoadiponectinemia, which develops in late pregnancy …

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone (RAAS) is a hormone system which acts on multiple
physiologic pathways primarily by regulating blood pressure and fluid balance, but also by …
