High Vitamin D Levels Linked to Lower Cholesterol

Vitamin D is known to be essential for bone metabolism, and low serum 25(OH)D levels increase the risk of rickets, osteomalacia, and osteopenia. The associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with plasma lipids remain controversial in children. More...
