Depression and vitamin D deficiency are major public health problems. The existing literature indicates the complex relationship between depression and vitamin D. The purpose of this study was to examine whether this relationship is moderated or mediated by inflammation. A community sample (n = 7162) from the LIFE-Adult-Study was investigated, for whom depressive symptoms were assessed via the German version of CES-D scale and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and inflammatory markers (IL-6 and CRP levels, WBC count) were quantified. Mediation analyses were performed using Hayes’ PROCESS macro and regression analyses were conducted to test moderation effects. There was a significant negative correlation between CES-D and 25(OH)D, and positive associations between inflammatory markers and CES-D scores. Only WBC partially mediated the association between 25(OH)D levels and depressive symptoms both in a simple mediation model (ab: −0.0042) and a model including covariates (ab: −0.0011). None of the inflammatory markers showed a moderation effect on the association between 25(OH)D levels and depressive symptoms. This present work highlighted the complex relationship between vitamin D, depressive symptoms and inflammation. Future studies are needed to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on inflammation and depressive symptomatology for causality assessment.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Aim To investigate the role of markers of vascular inflammation, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone as predictors of increased pulse-wave velocity (PWV) and degenerative bone changes in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension (AH). Methods 164 females were examined. Gr.1 included 42 healthy individuals, Gr.2 - 58 patients with AH and Gr.3 - 64 postmenopausal women with AH and osteoporosis. Parameters of blood pressure monitoring; PWV, osteodensitometry (T-Score); inflammatory markers: hsCRP, TNFα, homocysteine, IL-1β, 6, 8, endothelin-1; lipid profile parameters; sex and parathyroid hormones, vitamin D  were measured. Results In Gr.3 excess levels of PWV, hsCRP, homocysteine, IL8, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, endothelin-1 and parathyroid hormone was detected with decrease in the level of sex hormones and vitamin D. Besides, negative correlations of T-Score with age, PWV, duration of menopause, IL-6, hsCRP were registered; positive correlations between PWV with IL6, LDL cholesterol, hsCRP, endothelin-1, DBP variability were found. The logistic regression method revealed the main markers that affect increase of PWV, such as hsCRP and endothelin-1.Rise of each marker by unit of measurement leads to increase in PWV by 1.3 times and 2.4%, respectively. In Gr.2 increase in PWV level of more than 12.05 m/s was associated with 3.8-fold increase in the risk of osteoporosis. In Gr.3 increase in PWV level on 1 m/s was associated with 6 fold increase in the risk of osteoporosis. Conclusions Elevated levels of PWV are associated with markers of inflammation, levels of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, T-Score and may be part of the pathogenesis of the cardiovascular continuum in postmenopausal women, which will require an individual approach to the treatment of AH with comorbid metabolic disorders.

AbstractObjectivesKidney transplant (KTx) recipients frequently have deficient or insufficient levels of serum vitamin D. Few studies have investigated the effect of cholecalciferol in these patients. We evaluated the efficacy of weekly cholecalciferol administration on parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in stable KTx patients with chronic kidney disease stage 1–3.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 48 stable KTx recipients (37 males, 11 females, aged 52 ± 11 years and 26 months post-transplantation) were treated weekly with oral cholecalciferol (7500–8750 IU) for 12 months and compared to 44 untreated age- and gender-matched recipients. Changes in levels of PTH, 25(OH) vitamin D (25[OH]D), serum calcium, phosphate, creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months.ResultsAt baseline, clinical characteristics were similar between treated and untreated patients. Considering the entire cohort, 87 (94.6%) were deficient in vitamin D and 64 (69.6%) had PTH ≥130 pg/mL. Serum calcium, phosphate, creatinine and eGFR did not differ between groups over the follow-up period. However, 25(OH)D levels were significantly higher at both 6 (63.5 vs. 30.3 nmol/L, p < 0.001) and 12 months (69.4 vs. 30 nmol/L, p < 0.001) in treated vs. untreated patients, corresponding with a significant reduction in PTH at both 6 (112 vs. 161 pg/mL) and 12 months (109 vs. 154 pg/mL) in treated vs. untreated patients, respectively (p < 0.001 for both).ConclusionsWeekly administration of cholecalciferol can significantly and stably reduce PTH levels, without any adverse effects on serum calcium and renal function.
