Abstract

The relationship between vitamin D and health has received increasing attention from the scientific and medical communities, in recent years. Vitamin D deficiencies have repetitively been associated with numerous acute and chronic diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. Its active metabolite, 1,25-dihydoxy vitamin D, acts as a modulator of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Cumulative data from observational studies and various meta-analyses suggest that low serum vitamin D levels are associated with increasing severity diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, we made a descriptive review of the mechanisms linking a potential role of vitamin D with the current concepts of diabetic retinopathy pathophysiology.
