        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. ...

        Associations Between Sun Exposure and Adiposity Were Not Observed in Breast and Prostate Cancer Patients in a Cross-sectional Analysis

        There were no statistically significant associations between time spent outdoors and adiposity ...

        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. ...

        The Effects of Using the Sun Safe App on Sun Health Knowledge and Behaviors of Young Teenagers: Results of Pilot Intervention Studies

        A balanced approach toward sun exposure and protection is needed by young people. Excessive sun exposure increases their risk for skin cancers such as melanoma, whereas some exposure is necessary for vitamin D and healthy bones. We have developed a new iOS smartphone app-Sun Safe-through a co-design process, which aims to support healthy and balanced decision-making by young teenagers (aged 12-13 years). ...

        Clinical, research, and public health implications of poor measurement of Vitamin D status

        New initiatives to develop a standard reference method and the assignment of "true" values to samples provide a solution to these problems. ...

        Sun exposure and its effects on human health: Mechanisms through which sun exposure could reduce the risk of developing obesity and cardiometabolic dysfunction

        The cardiometabolic protective effects of ultraviolet radiation and mechanistic pathways through which ultraviolet radiation could be beneficial. ...

        Vitamin D and immunity

        The active form of vitamin D has an important role in calcium metabolism and in bone mineralisation, but the evidence for other health outcomes is mixed,... ...

        Ultraviolet irradiation of mice reduces the competency of bone marrow-derived CD11c+

        Direct UV irradiation of dendritic cells and Langerhans cells reduces their Ag presenting ability. However, the effects of UV on CD11c(+) cells located... ...

        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 ...

        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. ...
