While the exact relationship between vitamin D and OC in regulating energy metabolism is unclear. One of the possibilities is that: low vitamin D could lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism and following high bone turnover, which would enhance the quantity of bioactive OC.Objective: Our aim was to study whether OC mediated ...
