Normal distribution was evaluated with visual inspection of histograms with normal curve, and determination of skewness and kurtosis. All dependent variables except serum OPG and RANKL were considered normally distributed at baseline. After log transformation OPG attained normal distribution and was used as such when parametric statistics were applied. Because of several 0-values (not detectable) RANKL could not be log transformed and therefore was evaluated with non-parametric statistics. The delta values for OPG and RANKL were also not normally distributed and could not be log transformed because of several 0-values, and were therefore evaluated with non-parametric statistics. The other delta values were normally distributed. A multiple linear regression model with age, gender, BMI, smoking status, serum 25(OH)D, serum PTH and serum calcium as covariates was used to evaluate individual predictor of BMD L2-L4, BMD total hip and serum OPG. Correlations were evaluated with Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficients as appropriate.
The intervention study was analysed per protocol. Comparisons between the groups at baseline and between their delta values (value at end of the study minus value at baseline) were performed with ANOVA, the Kruskall Wallis test or the Chi-square test. The Bonferroni correction was used where multiple comparisons were performed. Unless otherwise stated, data are expressed as mean ± SD. All tests were done two-sided, and P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 15.0 was used for all statistical analyses (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill., USA).
The power calculation was performed according to the primary end point (weight loss) to disclose a clinically significant difference of 6 kg with or without vitamin D supplementation [16 (link)].

Nuf mice were maintained on the inbred 102/H background, which is a substrain bred at the Mary Lyon Centre. Mice were kept in accordance with United Kingdom Home Office welfare guidance and project license restrictions. Mice were fed ad libitum on a commercial diet (which contained 1.2% calcium, 0.8% phosphate, and 3000-IU/kg vitamin D; Rat and Mouse Diet No. 3; Special Diet Services). A single bolus of NPS 2143 or vehicle (15% aqueous solution of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) was administered by ip injection to wild-type, Nuf/+, and Nuf/Nuf mice aged between 16 and 20 weeks (n = 8–14 for all groups). An aqueous solution of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was used as the drug vehicle for NPS 2143, because this has previously been demonstrated to be effective at dissolving this calcilytic compound and to be safe and well tolerated in rodent studies (15 (link), 16 (link), 28 (link)). Based on the findings of previous rodent studies involving NPS 2143 (16 (link), 28 (link)), a dose of 30 mg/kg was administered to wild-type and Nuf mice. Plasma samples were obtained at either 0, 1, 4, or 24 hours by tail vein or terminal bleed. Urine samples were obtained from untreated mice or mice that had been bled at 1 hour after administration of NPS 2143 or drug vehicle alone and then immediately housed in metabolic cages (Tecniplast) for a 24-hour period and fed ad libitum on water and powdered chow (29 (link)). Urine samples were analyzed for calcium and creatinine and plasma samples analyzed for total calcium, albumin, sodium, potassium, phosphate, urea, creatinine, and alkaline phosphatase activities using a Beckman Coulter AU680 analyzer, as previously described (29 (link)). Plasma calcium was adjusted for albumin using the formula: ((albumin-mean albumin) × 0.02) + calcium, as reported (29 (link)). The calcium to creatinine clearance ratio (CCCR) was calculated using the formula UCa/PCa × PCr/UCr, where UCa is the urinary concentration of calcium in mmol/L, PCa is the plasma concentration of adjusted calcium in mmol/L, UCr is the urinary concentration of creatinine in mmol/L, and PCr is the plasma concentration of creatinine in mmol/L (29 (link)). Plasma PTH concentrations were determined using an ELISA for mouse intact PTH (Immutopics), as described (30 (link)).

Ten male Wistar rats (Harlan CPB, Horst, Netherlands), aged 9-10 weeks, weighing 300–325 grams at the beginning of the study were used. The rats underwent one-week acclimatization to the animal facility prior to the induction of vitamin D deficiency. Animals were maintained under conventional housing conditions and were given food and water ad libitum. From day one of the experiment, the rats were fed a vitamin D deficient diet (TD.87095 Brown C.C. Vit.D Defic, containing 20% lactose, 2% Ca, and 1.25% P). To induce CYP24A1 expression, to accelerate the catabolism of endogenous 25D and calcitriol stores, the rats received intraperitoneal injections of 32 ng of 19-nor-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 (paricalcitol; Zemplar, kindly provided by AbbVie) on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12. The rats were weighed on days 1, 10, 15, and 22 during the induction of vitamin D deficiency. Food consumption was measured every day. The experimental protocol was approved by the Animal Care Committee at the VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam.

The animals were randomly divided into control and treated groups 12 mice in each (six males and six females). The control groups were further divided into sham (no treatment) and vehicle (sterile corn oil), whereas the treatment group was divided into VitD (2,195 IU/kg), BPA (50 μg/kg), and BPA+VitD (50 μg/kg + 2,195 IU/kg) groups. The BPA and VitD doses were administered based on previously recommended doses [23 (link)–27 (link)]. Corn oil, VitD, and BPA were administrated daily, intraperitoneally (i.p), for six weeks. One week later, at 10.5 weeks old, animals were sacrificed, and blood and spleen samples were collected for biochemical and histological examinations (Fig 1).
The mice were administered intraperitoneally with 50 μg VitD, 2195 IU BPA/kg body weight, either alone or in combination, respectively, for six weeks.

Electronic medical records were obtained from the Nihon University School of Medicine’s Clinical Data Warehouse (NUSM’s CDW). This database includes detailed diagnostic, demographic, and laboratory data for inpatients and outpatients. We received written informed consent and agreement for the secondary use after anonymization at three hospitals affiliated with the NUSM (Nagashima et al., 2022 (link)). Similar to the JMDC claims data analysis, the pre-prescription period of olanzapine was defined as the period within 12 months of the first prescription. Contrastingly, the post-prescription period was defined as the period within 12 months after initiating olanzapine treatment. Among them, preceding users of vitamin D were defined as patients whose first prescription of vitamin D was ahead of the first prescription of olanzapine for at least 1 day. Matching was not performed in this study because there were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics (Table 3). The blood laboratory values were extracted from the database, and the baseline value (month 0) was selected from the nearest test prior to the first prescription of olanzapine. The values at each checkpoint (months 3, 6, 9, and 12) were selected from the furthest test results from the first prescription of olanzapine. The missing values were imputed using the last observation carried forward method. An unpaired two-tailed t-test with Welch’s correction for continuous variables and Fisher’s exact test for categorical data were conducted to compare the differences in baseline characteristics between patients with or without vitamin D exposure.

Insurance claims data collected by JMDC Inc. from January 2005 to March 2018 were purchased, which contained the medical and prescription claims of 5,550,241 individuals and their dependents on a monthly basis. Health checkup data, including blood test results, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumferences, were provided by 2,278,697 individuals. The patients were mainly aged ≤ 65 years, and no patients aged ≥ 75 years were included. The drug names were coded using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System.
On retrospectively analyzing the profile of the first event onsets, the users of olanzapine were identified as those who were prescribed olanzapine more than 2 months after being included in the JMDC claims database. Patients without specific health checkup data were also excluded. Thus, 1,853 patients with olanzapine were included in the present study. Among them, vitamin D users were defined as patients whose first prescription of vitamin D was ahead of olanzapine treatment. The pre-prescription period for olanzapine was defined as the period within 12 months, while the post-prescription period was defined as the period within 12 months after initiating olanzapine treatment.
The blood test results included in the present study were triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels apart from BMI and waist circumstances. Test results were collected for each individual on the nearest date before initiating olanzapine treatment in the pre-prescription period and on the closest date in the post-prescription period after initiating olanzapine treatment. To reduce bias in population backgrounds, the propensity score matching method (greedy 1:1 matching) was used by balancing covariates between settings. The propensity score for vitamin D was obtained by fitting a logistic regression model that included all covariates of interest (Table 2). The propensity score of each patient with or without vitamin D treatment was subsequently matched using the nearest neighbor method. Using the matched outcomes, an unpaired two-tailed t-test with Welch’s correction for continuous variables and Fisher’s exact test for categorical data were conducted to compare the differences in baseline characteristics between patients with or without vitamin D exposure.
