The potential mechanisms of beneficial effect of vitamin D in type 2 DM include (i) improved [beta]-cell function via direct effect of vitamin D or by increase in the intracellular ionized calcium which therefore would result in enhanced insulin release, (ii) increased insulin sensitivity related to expression of insulin receptor or via calcium dependent pathways in target ceils leading to increase in the glucose utilization, and (iii) inhibition of [beta]-cells apoptosis due to VDR transcription factor mediated inhibition of cytotoxic cytogene gene expression (37).
