What is it about?
The present study aimed to investigate whether lipid peroxidation and/or protein oxidation are affected by vitamin D deficiency and whether sunlight exposure/diet, gender, and age might influence this relationship. We suggest that the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and oxidative stress can be independent of age and gender.

Why is it important?
This study was the first to demonstrate that these strong correlations were not being influenced by the age and gender of the patients.
Perspectives
Data integration involving transcriptional and genomic data in combination with Vitamin D (VD) measurement in long-term experiments certainly will shed a light on VD role in oxidative stress. New understandings of vitamin D related advances in metabolomics and epigenetics, in relation to its ability to control oxidative stress are important to promise cost-effective better clinical outcomes in humans.
