Summary
Healthy subjects with low Vitamin D levels will be randomly assigned to either Vitamin D
replacement or placebo for a period of 8 weeks. Insulin sensitivity will be measured before
and after the intervention, and the changes will be compared between the two groups. This
will help us understand if Vitamin D replacement improves insulin sensitivity. Serum Retinol
Binding Protein 4 levels will also be measured to see if changes in insulin sensitivity are
mediated by RBP4.
