A A rise in 25(OH)D was recorded in males and females through HFD regardless of UV treatment when compared against those on LFD. In males this was non-significant (p ≥ 0.999), and in females this was significant (p ≤ 0.0001). When genders were compared 25(OH)D was significantly elevated in females in HFD (p = 0.0076) and HFD/UV (p = 0.0081) exposure groups when compared against male cohorts. HFD/UV showed a non-significant trend (p = 0.5590 males and p = 0.3606 females) towards higher level of vitamin D than HFD. B Liver samples assayed showed comparable level of 25(OH)D regardless of diet or exposure type.
