§: 25(OH)D was assayed at University of Pisa laboratory as total 25(OH)D (i.e. the sum of 25(OH)D2 + 25(OH)D3) using a chemiluminescence immunoassay (IDS-iSYS, Immunodiagnostic systems, Boldon, Tyne and Wear, UK)
: 1,25(OH)2D was assayed at University of Pisa laboratory as total 1,25(OH)2D (i.e. the sum of 1,25(OH)2D2 + 1,25(OH)2D3) using a radioimmunoassay (IDS, Immunodiagnostic systems, Boldon, Tyne and Wear, UK)
