Pediatric Diabetes May 08, 2018

Moschonis G, et al. - Researchers investigated the connections between vitamin D status and obesity with insulin resistance (IR) in children in Greece. Data were extracted with regard to the sociodemographic, anthropometric (weight, height), biochemical (fasting plasma glucose, serum insulin and 25(OH)D), pubertal status and physical activity.
