While the skeletal effects of vitamin D are well-documented, the
role and importance of vitamin D outside of bone health has not
been well-established. Vitamin D receptors are located in nearly
every tissue of the body, and low levels of vitamin D are
associated with a range of various diseases. This book provides an
in-depth examination of these extraskeletal effects of vitamin D
and the associations between vitamin D deficiency and various
disease states. Beginning with a review of the biochemistry and
physiology of vitamin D, subsequent chapters investigate its
relationship to autoimmune and infectious diseases, various forms
of cancer, endocrine issues such as diabetes, obesity and
reproductive function, cardiovascular disease and muscle weakness.
Concluding chapters discuss the role of vitamin D in neurological
disorders, including Alzheimer's Disease, and cognitive function.
Focusing on extraskeletal effects only across a range of
conditions, Extraskeletal Effects of Vitamin D will be an important
resource for clinical endocrinologists and primary care physicians.
