Abstract
Introduction: Many studies support the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of both types of
diabetes. Pancreatic tissues express the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and vitamin D-binding
protein; some allelic variations in genes involved in vitamin D metabolism and VDR are
associated with glucose intolerance, defective insulin secretion, and sensitivity.
Epidemiological links have been established between type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and
hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Aim: To explore the possible therapeutic potential of ...
