Trial summary

Routine examination of vitamin D levels is carried out by checking serum 25 (OH)D levels, which indicate circulating vitamin D levels. While serum 1.25 (OH) D levels are less frequently utilized, they represent the active form of vitamin D and could be a substitute for checking vitamin D levels. Read more about this study

About this study

Routine examination of vitamin D levels is carried out by checking serum 25 (OH)D levels, which indicate circulating vitamin D levels. While serum 1.25 (OH) D levels are less frequently utilized, they represent the active form of vitamin D and could be a substitute for checking vitamin D levels. This study aims to find the correlation between vitamin D levels, namely 25 (OH) D and 1.25 (OH) D saliva, which correlate with serum 25 (OH) D and 1.25 (OH) D levels in the examination of salivary vitamin D, and which could be a substitute for checking serum vitamin D levels.

The parameters studied were 25 (OH) D and 1.25 (OH) D levels of saliva and serum.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • not currently consumed vitamin D supplements regularlyDiagnostic test

    The tests carried out were examination of 25 (OH) D and 1.25 (OH) D levels of serum and saliva, examination of demographic data, and other anthropometries. The examination was carried out by taking 5 mL of blood and 2 mL of saliva, and then checking the serum and saliva levels of 25 (OH) D and 1.25 (OH) D. Before the examination, the research subjects were asked not to consume food or drink for at least 90 minutes before being examined. Centrifugation was carried out (2500 g, 10 minutes) and the product immediately stored at -20 oC. In the serum examination, after the blood was drawn, centrifugation was carried out and the product stored at -20 oC for further determination of the levels of 25 (OH) D and 1.25 (OH) saliva.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Salivary 25 (OH) D

    Salivary 25 (OH) D assay can be used to replace serum 25 (OH) D assay in healthy people as a non-invasive alternative. Examination using saliva as a substitute for serum testing is expected to facilitate the examination of 25 (OH) D.

    Measured: up to 2 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Salivary 25 (OH) D (time frame: up to 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
