Purpose This review provides a current perspective on the mechanism of vitamin D on
skeletal muscle function with the emphasis on oxidative stress, muscle anabolic state and …

Adipose tissue has long been identified as the major site of vitamin D storage. Recent
studies have demonstrated that VDR and vitamin D metabolizing enzymes are expressed in …

Introduction: Vitamin D has been primarily studied as an important factor influencing bone
and calcium metabolism. Metabolites of vitamin D are essential for whole-body calcium …

Ongoing research to develop digestion-resistant starch for human health promotion
integrates the disciplines of starch chemistry, agronomy, analytical chemistry, food science …

Beyond its established role in bone and mineral homeostasis, there is emerging evidence
that vitamin D exerts a range of effects in skeletal muscle. Reports of profound muscle …

Observational studies classically find an inverse relationship between human plasma 25-
hydroxyvitamin D concentration and obesity. However, interventional and genetic studies …

The prevalence and severity of obesity have increased in recent years, likely the result of
complex interactions between genes, dietary intake, physical activity, and the environment …

Obesity and vitamin D deficiency have both been recognized as major public health issues
worldwide, and there is growing evidence that they are related, although the cause–effect …

Vitamin D functions are not limited to skeletal health benefits and may extend to preservation
of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. This review summarizes the literature related to …

Cardiometabolic disorders and vitamin D deficiency are becoming increasingly more
prevalent across multiple populations. Different studies have suggested a potential …
