Vitamin D has been reported to influence physiological systems that extend far beyond its
established functions in calcium and bone homeostasis. Prominent amongst these are the …

A high prevalence of vitamin D (calcidiol) serum deficiency has been described in several
autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (AR), and …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system
