Bioavailability of Vitamin D and Impact of Supplementation on Clinical and Inflammatory Outcomes in Cystic Fibrosis Öffentlichkeit
Grossmann, Ruth Elizabeth (2012)
Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, heritable disease that significantly shortens life expectancy among Caucasians in the United States. Morbidity and mortality in CF is primarily related to respiratory failure, the result of chronic pulmonary infection and inflammation.
Vitamin D insufficiency may affect up to 90% of individuals with CF and may be related to the high prevalence of fat malabsorption in CF. Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with an increased risk for low bone mineral density, diabetes, respiratory infection, reduced lung function and inflammation; as well as, mortality. Therefore, repletion of vitamin D may impact the primary causes of morbidity and mortality in CF and should be evaluated.
The study of the clinical impact of vitamin D supplementation in CF has been complicated by the identification of a reliable vitamin D repletion strategy. We conducted a systematic review to determine whether the vehicle of the supplement impacted bioavailability both in CF and non-CF populations. We concluded that vehicle substance does not appear to have an impact on supplement bioavailability in non-CF subjects, and there was inadequate research to determine whether vehicle substance impacts supplement bioavailability in CF subjects.
In a pilot study of vitamin D supplementation in CF, we randomized adults with CF, hospitalized for a pulmonary exacerbation, to either a high-dose, oral bolus of vitamin D in a non-lipid vehicle or placebo. Subjects were followed for up to 1-year and were evaluated for changes in vitamin D status, vitamin D toxicity, and clinical outcomes. We found a significant increase in vitamin D status; as well as, improved clinical outcomes in the vitamin D group compared to placebo without signs vitamin D toxicity. We also evaluated changes in markers of inflammation and the antimicrobial peptide, LL-37 for 12-weeks after randomization. We found a significant decrease in systemic concentrations of TNF-α and a trend for decreased IL-6 concentrations in the vitamin D group compared to placebo.
We have also shown that vitamin D supplementation in a non-lipid vehicle may improve clinical outcomes and markers of inflammation in CF.
