The dramatic rise in allergic disease has occurred in tandem with recent environmental changes and increasing indoor lifestyle culture. While multifactorial, one consistent allergy risk factor has been reduced sunlight exposure. However, vitamin D supplementation studies have been disappointing in preventing allergy, raising possible independent effects of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure.
Early infancy oral vitamin D supplementation does not appear to reduce the development of early childhood allergic disease
When combined with physical activity, low-dose UVR may more effectively limit adiposity and modulate metabolic and immune pathways in iBAT
To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the reported 25(OH)D concentration may be influenced by both age and assay type
Both human and murine studies report that multiple exposures to sub-erythemal UV radiation can increase the diversity of the gut microbiome
Emerging preclinical findings suggest that some sun exposure is necessary for optimal metabolic health
Here we review the metabolic effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, focusing on the effects of phototherapies
This review focuses primarily on the beneficial effects for human health of exposure to ultraviolet radiation
New initiatives to develop a standard reference method and the assignment of "true" values to samples provide a solution to these problems.
There are moderate associations between vitamin D status measured in prepuberty, adolescence, and early adulthood
