Vitamin D Dynamics in Women (NCT02705287)
Vitamin D Dynamics in Pregnant Women and Non-Pregnant Women of Reproductive Age
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this project is to utilize stable isotopically labeled vitamin D3 and state of the art mass spectrometric methodology to assess vitamin D dynamics during pregnancy in relation to relation to obesity and vitamin D binding protein genotype. At the conclusion of this study, the investigators will have obtained novel information on the absorption and utilization of vitamin D in women and the degree to which vitamin D utilization during pregnancy is impacted by genetic ancestry, vitamin D binding protein concentration and genotype and by excess adiposity. The long-term goal is to better understand the unique metabolism of vitamin D during pregnancy.
