| Resumo: | It is estimated that more than 1 billion people worldwide have vitamin D insufficiency or
deficiency. The active vitamin D acts through a nuclear receptor to perform several functions
in cellular metabolism. In addition to participating directly in calcium homeostasis, this vitamin
plays regulatory roles in the immune system, nervous system, blood pressure, insulin secretion,
among others. Therefore, the vitamin D deficiency may be associated with diseases, metabolic
disorders and with cellular oxidative damage. This study aimed to investigate the relationship
between vitamin D deficiency, lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, as well as correlate
vitamin D concentrations and oxidative stress with sun exposure, diet, age and
conditions/diseases related to disability of vitamin D. For this, patients from the Heart Hospital
(Natal/RN/Brazil) were invited to participate in the study. The vitamin D concentrations were
consulted from the Heart Hospital database. Evaluations of lipid peroxidation and protein
oxidation were carried out. In addition, the relationship between solar incidence and death rate
for vitamin D deficiency related diseases was verified. Death rate data were extracted from the
'World Life Expectancy' repository and data about solar incidences were obtained from of
NASA's Surface Meteorology and Solar Energy project - version 6.0. It was observed that
patients with vitamin D deficiency had significantly higher concentrations of Malondialdehyde
and carbonylated proteins when compared to sufficient vitamin D patients, regardless of age.
In addition, sun exposure and a diet rich in vitamin D were associated with lower levels of lipid
peroxidation and protein oxidation. Insufficient/deficient vitamin D patients showed
significantly more hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, neoplasms, hepatobiliary
diseases and diseases of the urinary system. Finally, data related to sunlight showed that
countries with high annual solar incidence have a lower rate of death due to multiple sclerosis
and cancer. |
