Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency is a worldwide, public health
problem in both developed and developing countries. Rickets among
infants has reemerged. Low levels of vitamin D are associated with
increased risk and mortality from cancer. At the same time, the
beneficial effects of vitamin D on a host of conditions have
recently been discovered. Focusing on areas not extensively covered
in other comparable books, Vitamin D: Oxidative Stress, Immunity,
and Aging highlights the most recent research findings on the
impact of this nutrient in oxidative stress, immunity, and aging. A
state-of-the-art compilation of essential information, this book
explores: Vitamin D and its genomic and nongenomic effects, the
role of therapeutic analogs in treating disease, and the production
of vitamin D by the body The role vitamin D plays in modulating
oxidative stress-with emphasis on cancer, stress-mediated diseases,
photo-protection of the skin, and energy metabolism Beneficial
effects of vitamin D in regulating the immune response and its
importance in protecting against autoimmune, infectious, and
inflammatory diseases The role vitamin D plays in the regulation of
the aging process-including aspects of oxidative stress,
senescence, and mortality, as well as its role in protection
against cardiovascular disease and nervous system disorders This
book represents an important contribution toward understanding the
mechanisms by which vitamin D promotes health, increasing awareness
of the importance that vitamin D plays during development, at
birth, and throughout the aging process. It is a valuable reference
for researchers in academia, nutrition, medicine, and industry.
