The efficacy of cholecalciferol in the comprehensive treatment of patients with autoimmune diabetes by N.V. Pashkovska, I.O. Tsaryk

“…This effect may be related to the reduction in autoimmune activity as well as the anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin D, which contribute to the maintenance of β-cells and their ability to secrete insulin. The study confirms the pleiotropic effects of vitamin D: reducing autoimmune inflammation, impro­ving insulin sensitivity, normalizing lipid profiles, and supporting β-cell function. …”
