Vitamin D is synthesized predominantly in the liver and functions as an important
secosteroid hormone with pleiotropic effects. While its key regulatory role in calcium and …

Evidence exists that vitamin D has a potential antimicrobial activity and its deficiency has
deleterious effects on general well-being and longevity. Vitamin D may reduce the risk of …

Evidence suggests an association between low serum 25‐hydroxy‐vitamin D3 [25 (OH) D3]
levels and the presence and prognosis of liver disease. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been …

Chronic liver disease (CLD) and several related extrahepatic manifestations such as hepatic
osteodystrophy are associated with deficiency of vitamin D, which has therefore been …

Vitamin D is becoming increasingly accepted as an important physiological regulator
outside of its classical role in skeletal homeostasis. A growing body of evidence connects …

Vitamin D is an important secosteroid hormone with known effect on calcium homeostasis,
but recently there is increasing recognition that vitamin D also is involved in cell proliferation …

Increasing scientific evidence supports the link between vitamin D and cancer risk. The
active metabolite 1, 25 (OH) 2D exerts its activity by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) …

Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient with many pleiotropic effects on health and various chronic
diseases. The purpose of this review is to provide a detailed report on the …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, with
increasing prevalence worldwide. The genetic and molecular background of NAFLD …

It was suggested that vitamin D levels influence cancer development. The vitamin D receptor
(VDR) is a crucial mediator for the cellular effects of vitamin D. In fact It has been …
