        Sun-health behaviours and attitudes towards sun safety amongst Australian teenagers: a qualitative update

        This study aimed to explore current attitudes towards sun protection, and sun-seeking behaviour among young Australian adolescents. It was done as part of a larger project aiming to develop a digital resource to support young people in making informed sun-health decisions. ...

        Associations between sun exposure, skin pH, and epidermal permeability in pregnancy: A longitudinal observational study

        Little is known about how sun exposure may affect the maternal skin barrier during pregnancy when many hormonal and physiological changes occur. In this longitudinal observational study, 50 pregnant women were recruited at 18-24 weeks' gestation, 25 in summer-autumn, and 25 in winter-spring. At three time points in pregnancy at 18-24, 28-30, and 36-38 weeks' gestation, participants completed a validated sun exposure questionnaire and had skin permeability and surface pH measured on the volar forearm. ...

        Season, terrestrial ultraviolet radiation, and markers of glucose metabolism in children living in Perth, Western Australia

        Increased safe sun exposure in winter therefore represents a plausible means of reducing fasting blood sugar in children with obesity ...

        High-dose intramuscular Vitamin D provides long-lasting moderate increases in serum 25-hydroxVitamin D levels and shorter-Term changes in plasma calcium

        Intramuscular injection of a large bolus of Vitamin D effectively increases serum 25-hydroxyVitamin D levels without evidence of metabolic abnormality. ...

        Topical 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 subverts the priming ability of draining lymph node dendritic cells

        The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] is produced in skin following exposure to sunlight ...

        1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 enhances the ability of transferred CD4+ CD25+ cells to modulate T helper type 2-driven asthmatic responses

        The severity of allergic diseases may be modified by vitamin D. However, the immune pathways modulated by the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. ...

        Ultraviolet radiation, Vitamin D and the development of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes

        Emerging findings suggest a protective role for ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and sun exposure in reducing the development of obesity and cardiometabolic dysfunction, but more epidemiological and clinical research is required that focuses on measuring the direct associations and effects of exposure to UVR in humans. ...

        Immune modulation by UV: Role of vitamin D

        In this chapter, evidence for and evidence against the involvement of vitamin D in the immunoregulatory properties of UV radiation is presented. ...
