The objective was to determine the association between maternal serum 25(OH)-vitamin D concentrations and behavioural, emotional and language outcomes...
Vitamin D is involved in the regulation of the immune system and it may play a role in the development, severity and course of asthma and other allergic...
We demonstrate a latitude-dependent relationship between seasonal UVR trough and relapse onset probability peak independent of location-specific UVR levels
The active form of vitamin D has an important role in calcium metabolism and in bone mineralisation, but the evidence for other health outcomes is mixed,...
This review article examines the evidence of the impact of in utero and postnatal vitamin D exposure on allergy risk in childhood
Vitamin D has been linked in some studies with atopy- and asthma-associated phenotypes in children with established disease,but its role in disease inception...
Emerging preclinical findings suggest that some sun exposure is necessary for optimal metabolic health
Both human and murine studies report that multiple exposures to sub-erythemal UV radiation can increase the diversity of the gut microbiome
Here we review the metabolic effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, focusing on the effects of phototherapies
Little is known about how sun exposure may affect the maternal skin barrier during pregnancy when many hormonal and physiological changes occur. In this longitudinal observational study, 50 pregnant women were recruited at 18-24 weeks' gestation, 25 in summer-autumn, and 25 in winter-spring. At three time points in pregnancy at 18-24, 28-30, and 36-38 weeks' gestation, participants completed a validated sun exposure questionnaire and had skin permeability and surface pH measured on the volar forearm.
