Vitamin D is well known to be an important vitamin for the development and maintenance of bones. Recently, scientists have learned that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention of cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. The investigators are specifically interested in studying this question in the overweight/obese population as they are at greater risk for both vitamin D deficiency and impaired ability to metabolize sugar (glucose intolerance).\n\nPrimary Hypotheses:\n\nVitamin D repletion (increasing the serum 25(OH)D level from ≤ 20 ng/ml to ≥ 30 ng/ml) will improve insulin sensitivity in individuals who are overweight/obese and insulin resistant.\n\nSecondary Hypotheses:\n\n1.Vitamin D repletion will improve biomarkers of cardiovascular risk and inflammation (directly altering macrophage cytokine production and/or indirectly as a result of improvement in insulin sensitivity.) 2.30,000 IU (0.25 mg) weekly of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) will raise serum 25(OH)D levels from ≤ 20 ng/ml to ≥ 30 ng/ml overweight/obese population."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Nonsmoking men and women, ages 18-65\n* Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28 kg/m² and within 10% of maximum weight\n* Serum 25(OH)D level ≤ 20 ng/ml\n* Serum insulin level ≥ 7.2 mU/l\n* Willingness to maintain current body weight for the duration of the study\n* Willingness to maintain baseline lifestyle activities and routines for the duration of the study\n* Willingness to avoid the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), including low-dose daily aspirin, for at least ten days prior to each admission (due to the potential effects of these agents on inflammatory markers.)\n* Willingness to avoid the use of all over-the-counter or prescription vitamins, dietary supplements, and herbal products during the study, with the exception of a basic multivitamin supplement.\n* If of childbearing potential, willingness to use highly effective contraception for the duration of the study.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Current tobacco smoking\n* History of bleeding or coagulation disorders\n* Gastrointestinal disease resulting in significant gastrointestinal dysfunction or malabsorption\n* History of diabetes, or diagnosed during screening OGTT\n* Current treatment with hypertensive medications\n* History of cardiovascular disease\n* Renal disease, as evidenced by a serum creatinine above the upper limit of normal on more than one screening visit\n* History of kidney stones\n* History of chronic hepatitis, or liver enzymes (AST or ALT) more than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal\n* Primary hyperparathyroidism or baseline hypercalcemia from any cause\n* Current treatment with over-the-counter or prescription weight loss medications, such as orlistat or sibutramine\n* History of bariatric surgery\n* Current treatment with any cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins, niacin, fibrates, or ezetimibe\n* Blood pressure ≥ 145/90 after ten minutes of rest on more than one screen visit\n* Hyperthyroidism or untreated hypothyroidism.
