Seasonality, sun exposure, skin type and vitamin D levels influence Parathyroid Hormone related Peptide (PTHrP) metabolism during pregnancy and after delivery in mothers and their newborns

Siafarikas Aris , Bulsara Max K , Jones Timothy W

PTHrP is an important factor for the regulation of calcium homeostasis around delivery. The aim of this study was to longitudinally analyse PTHrP metabolism and influencing factors looking at mothers and their breastfed newborns from 32 weeks of pregnancy until 8 weeks after delivery. Nineteen families (8 Caucasian, 11 Arabic/Asian) participated in the study. We analysed PTHrP, 25 OH vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase, albumin; serum and urine calcium, ...

Comparison of vitamin D status, sun-exposure and personalised UVB-radiation dosimetry of mildly pigmented, breastfed newborns during their first 6-8 weeks of life in Perth, Western Australia and Berlin, Germany

The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in at-risk groups is rising even in sunny countries. Aim of this study was to compare vitamin D status and effect of vitamin D supplementation of moderate risk (mildly pigmented, WHO skin type 2) breastfed newborns from sunny and temperate climate zones. Newborns in Perth (30°S, group 1:5 male, 6 female) did not receive any vitamin D supplementation, newborns in Berlin (52.5°N, 17 male, 23 female) were randomised into n=2...
