Alterations in Serum Biochemical Parameters, Lipid Profile Markers, and Atherogenic Index in Patients with Vitamin D Deficiency

Background and Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem caused mainly by obesity, lifestyle changes, and reduced sun exposure.This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamin D deficiency on lipid profile and biochemical biomarkers in men and women.Materials and Methods: The experimentation was carried out on 24 voluntary individuals who were divided into four groups: Two groups of healthy men and women (controls), and the other two groups were men and women vit D deficiency.All the volunteers were subjected to an estimation of the lipid profile, biochemical parameters.Data are presented as meanSEM and compared using Student's t-test in Minitab; p<0.05 was considered significant.Results: There was a significant increase (p<0.001) in TC, LDL-C, and Atherogenic index (AI) were highly significantly raised (p<0.01).At the same time, the HDL-C level is significantly decreased (p<0.001) for vit D deficiency groups compared to the control one.However, the biochemical parameters didn't change.The biochemical results demonstrated that there was a significant change (p<0.05) in Blood glucose, urea, and creatinine levels in vit D deficiency patients compared to the controls.Conclusion: The vitamin D deficiency may induce severe alterations in lipid profiles which cause an increase in cardiovascular risk for this population.
