Key circulating molecules that link the emerging role of vitamin-D to pediatric obesity and its co-morbidities remain unclear. To identify potentially involved regulators, this study analyzed plasma proteoma from obese children dichotomized by 25OH-vitamin D (25OHD) levels and upon vitamin-D3 therapy in 25OHD deficient subjects.A total of 42 obese children (M/F=18/24, bmi>95° centile) were selected and divided according to 25OHD levels into defi...
