Study Results from United Arab Emirates University in the Area of Vitamin D Deficiency Published (Seven-Month Vitamin D Deficiency Inhibits Gastric Epithelial Cell Proliferation, Stimulates Acid Secretion, and Differentially Alters Cell...).

A study conducted by researchers at United Arab Emirates University investigated the effects of vitamin D deficiency on mouse gastric glands. The study found that both insufficient light exposure and vitamin D intake can lead to vitamin D deficiency. The severity of the deficiency affected gastric epithelial cell proliferation and mucin 6 gene expression. Interestingly, the study revealed that the body reacts differently to diverse sources of vitamin D deficiency, whether it is from light or diet. This research provides valuable insights into the biological effects of vitamin D deficiency on gastric health. [Extracted from the article]
