Summary

The purpose of this project is to determine if treating vitamin D deficiency decreases insulin resistance and improves insulin secretion in healthy volunteers. Additionally, this project will investigate if treating vitamin D deficiency affects a new phosphate-regulating hormone called FGF-23.
